    What are some apps that you'd like more people to know about?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:06 PM PDT

    Il start with these four apps that I personally find useful and/or appealing for one reason or another:

    Download Progress++ - cool app that allows you to have a fairly customizable progress bar displayed for any/all ongoing downloads
    [Droid-ify] - a modern F-Droid client with Material Design (this is a direct adaptation/modification of Foxy-Droid) (available on F-droid)
    Elixir - powerful system information app with highly configurable & useful notification bar shortcuts/widgets
    [NewPipe with SponsorBlock] - I know plenty of people already know about this app, but it's just such an awesome app that I feel it always deserves a spot on lists like these... NewPipe is a lightweight FOSS & ad-free YouTube frontend packed with features; background play, downloading of any video and/or audio, PiP, etc. (available on F-droid)

    Any abandoned or not being updated open source app?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 12:23 AM PDT

    Recently I've been thinking if there's any (small/medium) open source app which is abandoned but once loved by people? I was thinking about resurrecting one. So if you know any app like this, drop the name. Obviously I am not sure how much I will be able to do by myself as I am only planning to work on them in my free time.

    Social Media Detox Tool!

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 05:33 AM PDT

    Hey guys. I've, like a lot of others, wanted to control my social media addiction. But I'd often relapse. No surprise there. I knew I needed to somehow prevent opening apps even if I craved them, both on my phone and PC. So I made a detox tool. Check it out and let me know what you think of the app! 💥

    WhatsApp Vs. Telegram (for groups)

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 08:00 AM PDT

    I'm thinking about starting a neighborhood group chat, so my question here is which one is easiest to:

    -start groups

    - promote groups (easy links to share, easy way to put a url on a poster, QR code, where it suggests it to people nearby etc)

    - engage with local groups (different features to content)

    - higher notability, like I'm worried neighbors might trust WhatsApp more especially when they read about Telegram's Russia connection

    App to remember or precisely set screen brightness

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 09:05 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    maybe I'm a very specific case, but I like to have my screen brightness very precisely set to 1/5 (20%). I was wondering if there is an app/widget (preferably open source), that is able to rember an reset the brightness to a set value. I don't have root.
    While the 20% brightness is perfect for inside, outside it's difficult to see anything, so the brightness has to be set higher. It's not easy to set it back to 1/5.

    Back then in Android "Ice Cream Sandwich" I could "abuse" the automatic brightness feature to do exactly that. When it was activated, the brighness went up or down depending of the surrounding situation. When it was turned off again, the brightness went back exactly to the state before turning the feature on, in my case back to 20%.
    Nowadays it's not possible any more: When turning off automatic brightness it stays at the current value. If it's at 100% it stays at 100% and so on.

    Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi. I realized I spent too much time scrolling down feed and swiping stories. So I want a Instagram app mod that only let me post in feed and stories, and answer DM's. At least that has the feature to hide posts and stories from other people. I'll thank you so much you give options

    Need easy to use FTP client for uploading photos to website. Which lets you see the photos you upload (not just filenames)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 05:45 PM PDT

    I tried Cx File Explorer, for some reason it lets me create new files, but not upload existing ones

    I also tried AndFTP, This worked well, but it won't let me see the photos I am transferring, only their filenames, which makes it difficult to upload photos when I have thousands of them on my phone.

    Is there a simple ftp client with minimal intrusion and ads which would let me see and transfer photos from my android phone to server?

    A OCR Document Scanning app which can create Searchable PDFs in 20+ languages, Scanne

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 03:53 AM PDT

    Motivation

    Last month, I was searching for some tools to digitize a book I had what I needed was some app or something with which I could just create a PDF in which people could easily search for any piece of text just like they do with their normal ebooks…

    The main challenge I had was, I was too lazy to just type every word in a document. OCR apps are too buggy and I could just copy and paste from a textbox. So, I wondered whether there is some tool which could just take the images from me of the book and create a pdf that looks exact the same as the original image but the text in the image could be copied. I did a quick google without luck.

    That's how the motivation came…

    So, we created an app named Scanne for Android, with that app one could achieve this. Now, I wonder how many potential users, my app could benefit 📷

    Languages Supported for OCR (Searchable PDF)-

    It supports major Indian languages like Bengali, Assamese, English, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Nepali, Urdu, Telugu, Sanskrit (Can be used for digitizing old textbooks)

    Along with these It supports major International languages too including Spanish, Danish, Russian, German, Arabic, Indonesian etc.

    Technology Behind Scanne-

    Scanne uses the same technology like other OCR based apps. But most of the other apps use the one bundled in the device by Google. But in order to support languages like Sanskrit, we just couldn't rely on that. So, we trained our own Neural Network with all these languages while keeping in mind the accuracy and speed. Now this neural network gets the text from the image and tells us at which position of the image the text is located at in the form of (x,y) and then we place that text with zero opacity at that place in the PDF. So, when someone searches in the PDF he gets the text at the exact place.

    Download Now: Scanne- Document Scanner, OCR, Create Searchable PDF

    Featues:

    OCR - Optical Character Recognition
    Document Scanner uses OCR - Optical Character Recognition technology to create text from images. One can copy the text as well.

    Organize Documents
    Organize your scanned documents at one place by grouping them and yes, you can create grouped Searchable PDF for easy sharing and better accessibility.

    Auto Edge Detection
    Document Scanner uses AI(Artificial Intelligence) to detect edges of the documents which comes handy while dealing with multiple documents.

    Magic Filters
    Document Scanner has built-in filters which can make your scanned documents look professional.

    Scan Documents can convert them to Black and White
    Scan Documents can convert them to High Contrast Format
    Auto Cropping

    PDF Creator
    Create a single page or multi-page PDF documents using our Document Scanner app.

    Looking for a podcast app that won't clog my phone's memory

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 09:50 AM PDT

    I've been using podcast addict for years, but it was taking up absurd amounts of memory space for...something? Maybe episode art? I don't even know. Even with no episodes downloaded it was using gigabytes of memory. I don't have room for that!

    So I'm looking for something new that won't use up so much space and will work well when no internet connection is available (I live in a rural area where that's common)

    Is there an antivirus app that scans USB drives? (Especially for Windows malware)

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 03:17 AM PDT

    I'm using a Tab S7, Samsung's Android 12. I tried Avast, ESET, Malwarebytes, but none seem to be able to scan USB drives. I need it to safely scan and clean USB drives that might have Windows malware. One of our guests at work had some nasty malware on his USB stick. On Android, it's harmless, and one can access all files normally, but when mounted on Windows, all folders turn into shortcuts to scripts that run the malware, and files within those folders can't be accessed.

    Anonymous social media app Whisper has been taken off the Google Play Store

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 07:03 AM PDT

    Tbh, I'm surprised it took this long for the app to be taken down. It was 99% scammers. You can verify the app has been taken down by visiting their website and clicking get app. The play store doesn't take you to link to download it and if you search for "whisper," it doesn't show up at all. It use to be the first search result.

    Best "find my lost Android" app?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 12:37 AM PDT

    Is there anything better than Google's Find My Device.

    Anything capable of allowing the handset owner to remotely activate location services to attempt to recover their device.

    Premium is fine. Looking for the very best device protection possible short of physically tethering the thing to my body!

    Need help with blueWAplus

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 05:07 AM PDT

    Hi Guys,
    I have been using blueWAplus https://bluewaplus.com from the past many years. I was on version 9.21 and it worked great. Since the past few days Google started marking this app as a harmful app, so I installed the version 9.29. I basically install a newer version over the already installed version and it has worked fine so far. After installing version 9.29 the Google notification of the harmful app was gone but the media, images/videoes etc., in the chats were not displaying. Say I had a chat with person A. We sent each other 20 photos etc., I could view like 5-10 photos by clicking on the download button but for the rest it will say that media does not exist. All the data and media is still there in internal storage in blueWAplus Media folder. I reinstalled the older version 9.21 again hoping that it would resolve this but unfortunately facing the same issue. Plus now it is restoring chats of 2021. I regularly make a backup of the chats and all the chats are being shown in blueWAplus\Plus Backup folder including the chats backup taken yesterday. How and why is it bringing back the backup of the chats of last year? I can't even see backup that old in the Plus Backup folder. How to make it select backup from the latest dates and how to make it show the media in the chats?
    Thanks

    Looking for an app or other methods to activate a conditional wipe/factory reset.

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 04:55 AM PDT

    First of all, I'm not doing anything illegal, it's just that local law enforcement has a tendency seize your phone for absolutely no reason (which they are allowed to do for some reason), and also tend to not be so careful when it comes to handling personal data from seized phones. (Rumours about crypto wallets being empty.)

    I know the first thing they ask you to is to turn the phone off. I'm not sure if it needs to be on for them to access it with their LE tools/software, but if it does, maybe something that wipes it the next time it turns on after being activated.

    Guess it's a long shot and probably impossible, but something that wipes it even if the phone is turned off?

    Or lastly something you can activate that wipes it in X amount of time, unless you cancel it. Preferably something that's not very noticeable.

    Good app for customising lock screen with message?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2022 12:34 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Thought I lost my phone yesterday (turned out it fell beneath the sofa) and I was kicking myself for not having put more thought into ways to help find it.

    One of the safeguards I had on my old Android was some sort of lock screen mod app that displayed a permanent notification on the lock screen along the lines of "if lost please return to X"

    Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the app and nothing on the Play Store looks familiar.

    Redmi Note 11.

    Thanks.

    Google Drive keeps duplicating files with Foldersync

    Posted: 28 Apr 2022 12:00 PM PDT

    Basically I want to sync whatever i have in my device folder to my Drive folder. I've selected "To remote folder" because i want the Drive folder to be a backup, so i don't want anything to be overwritten, the issue is that Drive sucks when it comes to duplicates. It doesn't make "_copy" or "copy (1)", it just make another perfect copy with a different metadata for the date. So now i have the same files, duplicated X times, and the older one are duplicated more than newer one.

    Am I missing something? I would like to upload newer files and if there is an older file already backed up, just skip it. Under "sync options" i have the "skip file" selected under "If both local and remote fil are modified" but i had no luck with that.

    Thanks!
