Thanks, that’s an interesting option. It reminded me that I used primitive ftpd a long time ago, which is a Foss app to create a local ftp server, which you can then browse from other devices. I had forgotten as it was probably 6 or 7 years ago, and I’m happy to see it’s still being developed. This still relies on a local network of course, like yours. I don’t know if it could work over mobile data, I suppose you would need to run a full server and a domain name. Mind you it is feasible


Sorry if it is misunderstanding. I meant no app if possible, but a Foss app would be OK if unavoidable


I was specifically asking for what you haven’t done in ages





You are right that it is workable, I will edit my post. I thought quickshare was a Samsung thing only


I tried this between the Samsung and my Debian laptop and none ever recognised the other. Also quite sure it relies on a local network?


The description says it is over the local WiFi though, so not what I’m looking for


10 years of android and I never managed to share files via WiFi direct
Anyone has a fool proof method? Preferably that does not involve third party apps, or a Foss one. PS at home I use mixplorer over my home WiFi, but on the go WiFi direct would be useful. I use a Samsung smartphone and lenovo tablet, both on android 14. I can easily connect them, but I never see any WiFi direct option in the share menu (nor Samsung's quickshare) EDIT: Enabling Quickshare on both devices then the quickshare icon shows up in the share menu. Although: - it asks to deactivate WiFi direct (as Markaos says below, probably so it can decide the best connection type, and probably active WiFi direct on demand) - it relies on the contacts of the Google account. As I use a dummy and different gmail on both, and Foss apps for contacts, the only way to share is to "allow sharing with everyone for 10 minutes" So my question remains as to how to use Wi-Fi direct well...directly.

If you install Goodlock (Samsung store), then Registar (under Life Up in Goodlock) then you can set tapping the back of the phone to take screenshots (or other actions)

Edit: these are Samsung official apps suite developed to customize nearly everything on your phone


I just tried on android 14. Very complicated to set up ( I barely understood half the questions, also why does it want to connect to a remote device is beyond me). And I didn’t get it working after playing with all the parameters. I am sure chainfire knows what he’s doing, so maybe I will dig in xda for support. Also it says up to 5.5% battery per hour 😵

Edit: after playing with it today, I got how it interacts with aod in general and managed to get it work. I’ll see what is the actual impact on battery over several days and see if it’s worth the trade off


A bummer that Asus dropped the compact zenfone this year… Hope they bring it back, maybe every other year


Are there apps that mimic notification leds on amoled screens?
I realise I really miss that feature from 10 years ago. Any (foss) app doing that?

Hello, I just switched to Android 13, and I am wondering what is this toggle doing on top of the 3 options? A bit confused. Edit: on Asus zenfone 10, in case it varies from vendor to vendor
