Since #NovaLauncher is about to die, I've started to take a look at some #Android #launchers that got recommendations on the web.
I have to confess: don't get why people like

What options do I have for phones with good cameras that do not throw money down a fascist mega company's throat but still have good support for open ROMs and banking apps? I'm afraid the answer is none, but happy to hear any suggestions.

I'm loosing my mind 🤯 I want to see Google die.

Właśnie się zorientowałem, że mobilna wersja #Thunderbird na #Android to chyba tak naprawdę #K9Mail w delikatnie zmienionej kolorystyce.

Oh, Android has gone all chunky and bold. That's a change.
Wonder what Ai features I should be turning off now.
#android

An #Android puzzle: my Samsung S20 has a feature where, SOMEHOW, (there's no icon or side button combo) my screen-off phone will spontaneously pocket dial Emergency 😳
I understand their concern in wanting an emergency call shortcut on the locked screen, but my call history says this happens way too often. Seems only certain trousers, something about the fabric?
How do I turn this feature OFF, other than completely power-off my phone before I dare put it in a pocket?
Throwing it in the lake also not a (current) option.

Welke Android slimmerik weet hoe je 'extra dimmen' permanent aan kunt zetten in Android (15)?
Op het moment schakelt Android de functie bij/na opladen automatisch uit. Dat slaat gewoon nergens op. Juist van de lader af wil ik dat mn accu lang meegaat (en ik met een druk op de knop wat extra licht krijg).
#Android

With Google stupid package signature policy, #android is becoming increasingly closed, and unfortunately Linux phones still don’t seem ready for daily use. What options are you considering to work around the decline of Android?

I've been using Musicolet (for Android) on my S21 and I like how it shows you the most played, lets you easily download a shot of it, etc. For example, this is my most played of July 2025. Figures. 😂

Those findings vibe with me, but, like, what’s happening to the #Android ecosystem?

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Not many know that I tried #android 1.0
It was running on a HTC Diamond2 of my uncle, with no call or sms support. And no on-screen keyboard.
First device (HTC Dream) with android came out with 1.1, still no on-screen keyboard. That came in later with android 1.5 and the HTC Magic and the HTC Hero.

So, I was looking for a way for Android phones and iPhones to collaborate on a photo album. I use Google Photos on my Android phone, but this forces my iPhone friends to upload all their contacts to Google Photos which is a little icky. I found cluster.co which allows us to add photos to a shared album. Free to a point. What do you use?

Yet one more reason to use NewPipe if you are on Android and regularly watch videos not in your native language:
You can default to the original language of the video rather than the awful autodub they're doing now.

once again offering future riches to anybody who can tell me how to get rid of the emoji button from the typing field an #android gboard so i stop perpetually activating it. this setting is useless (& doesn't remove the emoji switch from elsewhere on the keyboard either).

Not being allowed to install what I want on a phone is like being told I cant make a sandwich with the bread I bought.

Creo que migraré mi Pixel 7 Pro a GrapheneOS. ¿Algún usuario de Graphene por acš que pueda contar de sus experiencia?

I've finally organized all my photos in per-date location directories on my PC. However, now I needed to sync the changes back to the phone.
#SyncThing doesn't work so well with such huge changes. So I've figured out I'll just delete it from ST for now, connect via MTP-over-USB, and use rsync on top of gvfs mount. However, rsync started throwing I/O errors.
Okay, nuclear option then. I'll remove all the old files (most of them were moved anyway), and then copy everything over via Thunar. So I've started deleting files via MTP, and it's progressing so slow. Okay, so I stopped that and instead use the file manager on the phone to delete them… but it's also slow. Finally, I've figured out to use #ADB and just do 'rm' from a shell — and that was finally fast.
Now to copy the 25 GiB back… Yeah, I keep all old photos on the phone as a backup.

I want to replace my mom's cell phone. I was hoping that there would be a good deal on a Pixel 10 right after they released it but it's just $800. Can I get a good deal on a Pixel 9? Nope! It's $800 also.

When I bought a #Pixel phone, I've spent three times as much as I usually spend. I figured out it's justified, since I'm finally going to have a phone with good software support (#GrapheneOS).
Over the last 6 months, #Google:
1. locked down the device tree,
2. increased embargo to security updates to 3 months,
3. broke battery charge limiter.
Won't recommend this to anyone.
