Thx. Unfortunately, the only option at the time was a buggy copy of a Korean release of #Android 10.

But I was finally able to upgrade to 10 by fully activating my AT&T Sim for one month. 😵

Is my dream for a modern #foss #android #Material3 #ereader app finally coming true?

Definitely checking this out soon.

Does anyone know if there is #android #malware that can make phone calls or send SMS without this showing up in the call log or outgoing SMSes? Have recently been called by someone claiming I called them as well as received SMS similar to "Who is this?".

Afaik I don't have any malicious apps as I only install from fdroid except a couple apps, however I'm running a quite outdated LineageOS build.

Google sold Android phones with hidden insecure feature, companies find

Throwing this out into the void, but I've never been able to get #VLC on #Android to work with #Samba file sharing. I've used SSH, Syncthing, and Bash scripts as workarounds for years, so I never felt the need.

Turning an old #Android device into a #NAS is a very useful tool and someone did that. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-turned-old-phone-nas/

I'd like to get a #CLI #RSS reader for #Linux and one for #android I want to get sync between each other.

Could somebody recommend an #android #keyboard? Preferably #foss #floss ones

This is the #pixelfed up on my Smartphone!

The very first Screen does not fit.

For the past years it always had problems with the size of fonts all over the app. On #iOS but especially on #Android devices.

When I try to contact programmers and sensibilize them for this matter I rarely get an answer. Either they do not care or it's not important for them. Many programmers don't understand that people like me need bigger fonts in order to use the app!

This is bad GUI. It's incompetent ...

#GrapheneOS may take legal action against #Google (Gahoogle) regarding the Play Integrity API. This should be very interesting to watch.

#ROM #Android #mobile

Starting on a #newPhone migration, but doing it the hard way, hoping to drop a bit of cruft and clutter in the process.

The messy bits are the thousands of photos on the old phone, the contacts (keep them all or weed out the long-lost contacts?), and bookmarks (sort or just copy?).

Then the apps - I have many I don't use, but they still sound appealing.

Live tooting the process just for kicks.

Just discovered the duress password on @GrapheneOS . What a rad feature! #grapheneos #android #security #privacy

Very happy to finally also use #GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro. 🎉 The Web-installer works really like a charm - never flashed an #Android that simple - and I like the #minimalist design of the OS. Everything else I need to find out now. 😉

I really hope the #Android app #PixelfedforAndroid gets fixed soon. I want to test it out on my Pixel Fold.

🚨 New pre-print – dark times for privacy. Not only announced Google yesterday to continue allowing cross-site cookies. We find that Android's central privacy options are ineffective and arguably misleading for consumers.

For 10+ years, Google has allowed #Android users to limit data sharing for online ads. We find that this setting does... NOTHING much. The same goes for Californians, when they exert their LEGAL right to limit sale or sharing of their data. #GPC
