Feels like Apples already giving up on the Vision Pro, not sure Android should even put resources into this


If you need a lightweight pdf viewer with no frills, muPdf on Fdroid is perfectly cromulent


Nope! The 9 is the first pixel that uses Ultrasonic. Its a massive upgrade from the optical scanner in the 7. Legitimately never misses



I buy most of my music and use Navidrome to stream it. Tempo is a great android app and the Navidrome web app is solid



Libretube seems to almost never work for me no matter what instance i try.
Also worth adding Smarttube for AndroidTV


CalyxOS. Uses microG but is otherwise google free. Feels fairly vanilla and has a pretty solid backup solution in Seedvault


I think Graphene supports Auto. Its the only thing that makes me want to switch from Calyx


Credit unions are better but that doesnt mean their app will work on a rooted device
Source: My credit Union app doesnt work on my rooted devices 🙃



I wonder if this means the visor is done :(


+1 for MuPDF. It’s so lightweight it almost feels like a native part of the OS


Ive been using ivy on my Chromecast it’s good, but Flauncher looks more like what I want.
Protip for Chromecast users - disable the stock launcher via adb to set a new default


Is there one that doesn’t suck and isn’t auto/carplay?


Lemuroid is my favorite. Available on fdroid and the play store


Waze for me unfortunately owned by Google tho. Doesn’t require play services


I use CIFS Document Provider and the stock files app lets me browse the share without an exact path. Does require IP tho


One major annoyance is contact/calendar syncing. DAVX works great but you do need to set up your own provider. I ended up using my NAS, synology has apps that do that


Good. I was really worried about the steam deck. On paper it seemed too good to be true, and Valves track record with hardware is abysmal.
I ended up getting one and its honestly one of my best gaming purchases. Pretty tempted to grab an OLED


Pixel 7 with Calyx OS. This is probably my all time favorite setup for a phone. Most of my apps are foss except a few (banking apps, discord, lyft, and Instagram)


I used an Assurion store to replace my screen and they didn’t require a factory reset, even with Lineage


Niagara Launcher. It just perfectly fits for me. I don’t like clutter on my homescreen


I just installed Calyx and I love it, the biggest difference for me is.
1 MicroG instead of sandboxed play services.
2 You can relock the bootloader, which got some of my banking apps to work again.
I don’t know if Graphene has these features but some other things I like:
You can revoke fine network access (revoke all or jikust background/mobile/WiFi data per app).
Seedvault can backup your phone over webdav. Unfortunately it uses abd backup so it doesn’t backup all apps.
It adopts some Lineage features like snoozing notifications


Just installed Calyx and its great so far


This is the one. It honestly works better than the first party YT app


I’m a pretty big supporter of emulation and love what Dolphin is doing, that said, lets not poke the bear. Dolphin is easy enough to get working everywhere, it doesn’t need to be listed on steam.
