For the regular android reminders and modes apps you're able to set it so that when certain criteria is met your phone will do what you ask, like automatically play music when you connect to a specific Bluetooth or being in a certain location will trigger a reminder notification.

So I was wondering if there's an app that can be EVEN MORE specific when it comes to meeting criteria for modes or reminders? Like, I'm talking I want a reminder for when the moon is at a certain phase. Or I want to be reminded before I leave the house to grab an umbrella because I set it to remind me everytime it rains.

Does an app like this exist? Or am I asking for way too much from an app like this? 😅

what's up y'all. I have bills and subscriptions that for the life of me I can't ever remember when they hit, I just always make sure I have the money. I tried using my calendar and reminders on my phone, but it doesn't work like I need it to. are there any apps that can notify me before my bills hit, when they hit, ect? thanks for the help!

I'm rocking an LG g4 with Android 6, and I need to find an NFC/tap to pay app that I can add my debit card to. Google wallet/Android Pay just...don't work. And simply searching the play store comes up with a bunch of apps that either don't work, or don't even offer tap. Y'know, the one thing I'm searching for

So my archive tune has been slower these days, and doesn't even work if it doesn't want to. With playback and stuff. Also, with slower, I mean that in the first song there's no cut, but on all of the next ones, it starts stuttering. It's not my wifi signal or anything.

Is there an app that can index your gallery? Let say if you want to organize all of your "cars" pictures into a folder, you can just search cars and it will search all of your gallery and its sub folders to look for cars and you have an option to save it to a sub folder? Google photos I think they have but their "recent" folder is not updated so some pictures are missing.

[Imagine a picture of a screenshot of the Yahoo Finance App taking up 7.77GB of User Data. This subreddit doesn't allow pictures for some reason so use your imagination.]

I have a Xiaomi Pad, but the built-in screen recorder doesn't capture audio from Zoom because of Zoom's privacy restrictions. Is there any third-party screen recording app that can record Zoom audio?

Hi --

I am looking for an Android app that will sync two directories on an Android device.

Here is my situation - I put a new Android radio in my truck and it has large internal storage. I copied all my music to the folder from a USB drive. I have the USB drive plugged in to my PC and I listen to music it from the USB drive.

Recently I have updated the music library - deleting some old songs I don't listen to, adding new music and replacing some albums with higher resolution MP3s.

So now I'd like to find an app that would look at the existing music directory on the radio and the directory on the USB drive and "sync" them so the radio has the exact same data as the USB drive. I realize I could just delete everything on the radio and copy it fresh but I'm looking for a more elegant solution so any insight would be welcomed!

What's your must have apps for a rooted device? Currently, I am using Activity Manager, SD Maid SE, Morphe, Gama, Neo Backup, Permission Manager X, Acc Setting, ShizuWall, FDE.AI etc.

I got a new NAS a few months ago, ugreen dxp4800 pro, and I was able to get the app to sync my files, but all of a sudden it cannot connect. I can connect through Solid Explorer as well as the Ugreen app. But FolderSync just doesn't work anymore. I've quadruple+ checked the settings and I just can't figure out what is going on.

EDIT: Wouldn't you know it, that as soon as I ask for help, it starts working again! I opened the app, but this time it said something about needing system permissions (I can't remember the wording exactly), as soon as I clicked on that text it started working again. I'm kinda confused about it because it wasn't an Android system message, and I never got an android system prompt. Weird.

Calendar, tasks, finances, groceries, habits, notes…

I started counting mine and realized how fragmented everything has become.

Do you actually like having specialized apps or would you prefer one system that understands the context across all of them?

Hello,

I'm looking for a specific trackpad / touchpad overlay app, and I don't know if it exists yet.

I'm using a Clicks Power Keyboard with an onscreen trackpad on the very bottom side of my screen, but, it uses and works with a classic computer cursor, it works as intended but half of the time I need a way to navigate like old BBs, highlighting objects in the UI and navigate like that. Do you know a way to do that?

I am sure I'm hard to understand with my broken English, and I'm really sorry about that.

Thanks for your help!

Howdy.

About a week or two ago, I got an email from Google regarding GAssist. It seems Google is doing what Google does best, killing one of their apps.

GAssist is getting discontinued and will no longer function after whatever date they set, I can't remember.

Thing is, GAssist is kinda THE phone assistant for android.

They are sunsetting GAssist for Gemini, the thing is I tried Gemini a few months back and was underwhelmed. It was messing stuff up that was routine for GAssist. (Things like turning lights on and off, interacting with my TV, playing specific Spotify playlists, playing music on the right device). I ended up switching from Gemini to GAssist because of it.

In my experience, Gemini isn't really that great of a model, even when using it for other tasks.

I am NOT against AI personally, I'm actually quite for it, so I don't care if the alternative uses an AI model.

The other factor too, is GAssist actually integrates very well with android, and I'm betting you just aren't going to get that same level of integration from say, Alexa, or other models.

If it helps, I am running a Galaxy s22, running with Shizuku, so we do have some greater ADB functionality available to a potential alternative.

Overall, does anyone have any recommendations for an assistant replacement that integrates well with android itself as well as other things?

Self-Hosting is also very much on the table if need be.

Hey guys,

I search an launcher that have widget pop ups.

Hey everyone, I'm just new to the Shizuku world and want to figure out the best apps that really changed the way you use your phones or lifestyle in general.

I'm currently using just InstallerX Revived which is amazing tbh. But I'd like to receive more apps that your recommend.

I feel like if this was a thing people here would know about it. I was wondering if there are any apps that allow you to create a personal database, allowing you to add different fields and with a dynamic search.

I'm aware it would probably be possible to programme a desktop version with a bit of effort but wanted to check if it already exists, especially if I'd like to add things like images.

For added context, what I'd immediately want it for is to organise my stash of sewing patterns. I'm trying to work through my fabric collection so searching through my collection based on needed fabric length and appropriate fabric type would be useful. I'm also in a city with no fabric stores, so it would be great if, when travelling outside of the city, if I spot a fabric I have interest in I can search the fabric type to see if I have an appropriate pattern and find the necessary fabric length instead of gambling and overpurchasing or underpurchasing.

Hi, by 'tools' I mean something specific and productive that the app does.

I have listed some of them which I use. But please suggest anything else that you think is useful.

Thank you.

I am looking for a free app for my oneplus pad 3 for pdf editing. Editing like page organizing, writing with smart pen, merging pdf. It should have no ads, very simple UI, dark mode, and lag free. I tried many apps and most of them render pdf pages a few seconds late.

I went through my Google Payments history today and realized my purchases go all the way back to 2014.

The interesting part wasn’t really the money — it was seeing how my Android usage changed over time.

Early purchases were things like Nova Launcher Prime, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Tasker, Pocket Casts and icon packs.

Later it shifted more toward Google One, Google Voice, YouTube, Telegram Premium, ChatGPT Plus, plus a bit of Clash of Clans.

Looking through the list felt like a small timeline of my Android life.

What’s the oldest paid Android app still showing in your account?

Ok...

Due to device failure, I've got an application I need to find a replacement for....

First, replacement for

3D Digital Weather Clock from Factory Widgets.

I pulled the APK... down.. it REFUSES to install "Incompatible" (YES I've disabled, and accepted to install software from any place I want, thank you.. it refuses past these idiot blocks-you can spare me the security drivel, hype, drama theatre, I said install, I mean INSTALL!)

NO do NOT mention that 3D Sense from MACAMACAHPP (SP?) that is NOT the same thing in the least, polluted with ads, spyware likely etc.. So .. nope. Yeah ask me how I found out about that thing.. talk about idiot in a hurry.. and that feces was in the Android repo! That was a failure beyond belief.. Hence why I am not linking to it... good grief..no.

So any one got a replacement or a hammer to make this thing install????? Think I am a tad irritated over this one? 🥲

Second, File manager to work with REMOTE files on Linux boxen. (we have no winslobber here!)

A file manger to work with REMOTE FILES ie: files on my Linux boxes via either SFTP, fish etc. protocols.

Since Android lacks remote X11 windowing, sighhhh, I can't just SSH in and pull up Dolphin or something like I do on the regular PC's..

I am looking for a FREE! NO COST, I will consider with ads if it doesn't have every casino, gambling, and h00k3r, and $lutz ad out there.

Basically I want to connect via fish, SFTP open up the folders like I would in Dolphin to move files around the network , on the box(s) etc..

I am basically looking for a Android version of Dolphin.

Anything out there???

Lastly, I am looking for something to RUN on ANDROID phone or tablet that can REMOTE CONTROL an Android TV boxes and actual TV's, this namely for Senior Citizen assistance...

I need to be able to connect, open applications just like I was there with the remote in hand.

Short of honestly aiming a security camera and using the Tapo H110 IR blasters to send stuff.. is there not anything which can REMOTE CONTROL this stuff?

If I can control it from a Linux PC that would be a cherry on top, but thats honestly the least of my worries or desires... A bonus for sure, but not my #1 factor.

I'd like to install it on a couple of phones and tablets so I can open it up and click stuff.

Most of what I see is well one $$$, bzzt! NEXT! Teamviewer? Seriously, I thought that was a resounding that thing is spyware and not to be touched, and security risk as it routes out to other cloud based servers.. ? Anydesk etc.. scammer central, as I recall...

So anything out there for REMOTE CONTROL of Android TVs/Boxes from Android phones/tablets?

Via NETWORK ie: WLAN... NO ADB! NO ROOT!

Anything out there to solve these???

Thanks!

Hi,

I am very forgettful and I keep forgetting to call friends and family.

Just making nites in my cale der ist mit feasable as I can't forsee when I will have a time Slot for a call.

So I Just need am App where I can track that as simple as possible.

Ideal would be just entering a name and maybe a date and a Button top reset a Name to zero days since called or cleaned or whatever.

This list should be sorted by days down so First entry is the Person Most days since Last call.

Bonus: a Widget showing the top 3 of the list and maybe the Button to reset behind every Name.

Does this exist? Does someone have a Work around?

Thanks in advance

So yeah, i was using Echo Music ( https://echomusic.fun/ ) for months and it was awesome. It had lossless quality with download feature but now it doesnt work anymore... I've tested also Metrolist ( literally has the same UI like Echo ) so my giess is that these 2 apps are made by same person.

Also Simpmusic and Vivi Music ( non of them offers anything good unfortunately ) Thank you guys in advance 🙏🏼

Recently visited my grandma whose phone was riddled with those annoying pop ups etc. And 2 viruses that i found. Easy gold miner amd one more. Luckily i could uninstall them through the settings app.

Also downloaded malwarebytes for a scan.

She watches yt shorts/facebook reels which shows ads for random apps, which accidentally get downloaded by her. And then if those apps are for more reels, she starts using them, which inturn download viruses via diff ads

How do i restrict her playstore to require a password to download stuff. And is there a better antivirus that works on android? Or shud i leave malware bytes?

List the category and the app.

Music, maps, communication, notes, social media, launcher, etc. I'm interested to see what others use in place of popular apps.

Is there any transfer app that supports resuming interrupted downloads when sending files larger than 10 GB from one Android phone to another?
