Good luck. It is a bit weird getting setup at first with the way they do profiles, but once its set you dont have to think about it if you need to make a new alarm.

"Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers" also known as AMDroid Alarm clock.

Yes it can shuffle music.

Downsides; Not FoSS and not free, however it is a cheap one time purchase, no subscriptions. free version ads are just unobtrusive banners. I have Netgaurd blocking WiFi and cell with no issues.

Features: (no idea what's paid and not)

  • Incredibly customizable, I never knew there could be so many alarm options - but there are.
  • you can make different alarm profiles, so you only have to set up each "type" of alarm you want once. From there, you just set a time and pick a profile with your settings. Everything from this point on is profile specific.
  • pick any sounds on device (or a folder for random picks), set volume, vibrate, ingnore do not disturb, ignore headphones plugged in, etc.
  • Calandar integration. If you have a schedule that varies, you can set it up to follow that instead of set-days and times.
  • One time skip and one time adjust buttons. Need to wake up an hour early one day, got tomorrow off? Just use these to make the adjustment, next day the alarm will back to normal.
  • optional post alarm "are you awake?" notifications. Dismiss the alarm but fell back asleep? After a few minutes (user set time) it will ask if your awake. With no response, after some time the alarm will go again. (With a different sound or volume if you like)
  • snooze timmer can decrease each time you use it. First snooze 10 min, next is 8, then 6 and so on.
  • various optional challenges that I don't use. Easy things like type out this text, to the WiFi signal must be higher than X (go stand next your router to shut off alarm).
  • location based settings - for example, morning alarms only go off at hone, break alarms only go off at work.
  • the list continues for some time, but I'll stop here.

Guys this a fake review from the zombies! Never let your gaurd down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Thank you for your suggestion.

Having just tried it, it is not for me. The categories is there, but having the search/app drawrr on the top won't work me, especially with these stupid large phone everyone makes. (I'm guessing theres a way to change it, but I didnt get that far)

The ultimate reason its not for me is how widgets are a scrolling thing. It's a different idea, but I like the widgets on my home screen where I can passively see them.

If there's a way to change that, I didnt see it. I didn't even find a way to get rid of the big clock at the bottom.

NetGaurd.

Others have said it, I'll say it again.

It gives seperate control over WiFi and cell. So for example my weather widget won't update in background over cell, but on WiFi it can update all day.

Only downside is it takes up your 1 VPN "slot", which might be a bad thing if you a vpn.

Cool, first impressions are pretty good.

It took a minute to find, the play store has some not free thing. But I found the github page.

My bad, it is collabora

Edit: I figured out what happened My brain combined LibreOffice and Collabroa and got Calibe the fantastic eBook managar.

I love you can set eq per device. My phone speaker, headphones and car all have their own settings. Its fantastic.

Nova launcher.

I Haven't found one that works so well with KLWP or has good app drawer organization. I like having folders and tabs to split everything up. Having one big list of apps (70% I dont use often and another 10% bloat) isn't useful.

Have you tried ~~calibre~~ collabora office? It not 100% there, but could work. (No idea how well it'd work with next cloud)

This is an Intresting one. I'm curious what the deal was.

Assuming accuweather is paying Firefox, thats probably a good thing because Firefox definatly needs to diversify its income.

I wonder what exactly AccuWeather gets. Is only for more web traffic (which is significant) or is it something else?

Well thats a suprise. Being google I just assumed they intercept everything for data mining.

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks [email protected]


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

 

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
