just wanted to share this app i found recently

after setting up freshrss some weeks ago i've been looking for an app to use on my phone. tried numerous apps listed on freshrss's readme but none of them was to my liking sadly.

then i found this app and it works extremely well, even on my ancient 2013 phone there's practically no loading, the gesture's extremely smooth, and everything just works. compatible with android 2.1(!) and newer according to f-droid, but sadly it's been abandoned by its author since 2020. for now i guess it's okay since it works fine though..

Preferably with a mimnal Ui, I dont need to The atmospheric pressure or precipitation level or wind speed. Just the temperature, if its Windy or cloudy etc.

Aside from the AI features, these look like an improvement on the Chromebook concept.

I have been working on an Android App quite a while now, starting from a simple idea.

A messenger where messages travel directly between phones with no servers in between. Using direct WebRTC encrypted connections (SRTP/DTLS), there are no servers that stores, reads, or relays content. Group chats use a gossip protocol where members relay to other members.

The only infrastructure the app touches is a signalling relay to set up the connection (no message content), a push notification to wake up a sleeping phone (also no content), and a TURN relay for restricted networks (encrypted packets only).

I wrote a detailed white paper explaining the full architecture: https://www.mindtheclub.com/white-paper.html

The app is in Open Testing on Google Play (1,000 tester cap): https://www.mindtheclub.com/beta-signup.html

I’m interested in this community's perspective on whether the architecture holds up.

I need some quick way to transfer texts between my phone and some remote device, and vice-versa, I avoid cloud features but in this case it's a game changer to me.

It could be literally just a text editor with zero features. But I need to be able to access it via web on Desktop, and via app on Android.

I tried Notesnook but that's overkill for me. I don't need encryption, it's just some random notes.

Hey, so I have a bunch of items that won't install, saying they're not compatible with my device. Thing is, they were all installed prior to my doing a reset. I just needed to get a fresh clean start after lots of testing stuff cluttered things.

OK so here are things to note: I'm using a Moto g stylus 5g 2023 (XT2315-1) genenv. Android 13. I have TWRP setup as my recovery, and I'm rooted with Magisk which is up to date.

I did not make any upgrades or downgrades of Android, I simple reset. Most things are working fine, but just some APKs won't install.

It is possible that I had previously had an LSposed (Xposed variant) module installed which dealt with this; all it is, is an arbitrary minAPI designation but in no way actually has a compatibility problem. But try as I might, I don't remember specifically installing a module to resolve this. Rather, I suspect perhaps it was dealt with inadvertently by something I happened to install. ¿maybe?

If anyone knows the solution to this, I'd be much-preesh.

I have 2 SIMs: The first one has only data and can't make calls, the second one can make calls but doesn't have any data. With the "backup calling" feature, I can make and receive calls over the cellular data of the first SIM if the second is offline. This is useful for me because my phone doesn't have dual SIM dual active so cellular data stops working if I am making a call. Backup calling requires the phone calls sim to have no signal which I can force by limiting the SIM to 5G. Obviously doing this is not ideal as the phone searches for 5G signal, can't find it and drains its battery quickly. The weird part is the phone supports 5G and so does the carrier, my account (?) doesn't support 5G because I don't have any plans on the SIM. Forcing 2G or 3G won't work, those are still available where I live.

So is there a way to use backup calling without taking one of the SIMs offline? Or is there a way to take 1 SIM offline without making it search for an unavailable band? I don't want to lose cellular data each time I receive a call or drain my battery quickly. Phone is Galaxy A34 5G running Android 14, not rooted

Is this still going to happen? What can we do?

I have an S23 thats on the latest update. I have been using a third party texting app called Textra, for years now with no issues. Just last week, some of my friends have been trying to send me links but they just don't go through anymore. It can be any link, Google maps, youtube, Amazon link etc. I also found out that my friends started a group chat with me, but I never received any of the messages. My friends are mostly iphone but some use android also. I found out that if I enable Google messages as my default, everything works fine. And after I enabled Google Messages as my default, the group chats came through in Textra, but the address was an email address

Is this an issue between RCS and SMS? Am I forced to use Google Messages now? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Textra and I installed a different third party messenger and no change.

Hello, I'm looking for an app (or some other solution) to periodically backup my local calendars, possibly daily. No cloud sync needed, I just need a local file

My current setup is: remote calDav calendar server that is synced locally via DAVx5. I would like the local calendars that are synced locally by DAVx5 to be exported every day, with no manual interaction from me needed.

Is there any app that does it?

I've switched some default apps in Android 9, but they're occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?

Hello all,
just got my Android Phone with LineageOS installed. (Pixel 3a (LineageOS 22))

Have a question now regarding Apps needing Google Services. When Installing LineageOS i have opted out of installing any Google Apps, at least I really do think so.

However, I just installed Aurora Store to install a banking app I need. I did not do anything else and only installed Aurora Store and the Banking App without microG or other replacement. It says under compatibility that it would work with limited features if Google Play Services are not installed so I thought I give it a try and see how far I get.

Surprisingly far as it turns out. Everything works except for notifications, but that was to be expected. But now I notice two updates in the Aurora Store:

• Android System Intelligence
• Private Compute Services

Am I correct to assume that these are integral to the AOSP/LineageOS? or does Aurora Store install Google Services when missing? I kinda expected that those components would be updated through the normal LineageOS update flow and not through Aurora Store.

Hope somebody can clear those questions up.

PS: Android is so incredibly delightful btw. happy to have switched back.

EDIT: Just checked and looked for those apps in the setting and there it even states that they were installed through the Aurora Store. Now I'm extra confused :(
