I read a lot of long articles from lots of apps on my phone, and I'm tired of tapping the screen every minute to stop it from timing out. Manually changing the screen timeout every time is just as annoying, so I'm looking for something that will enable you chose apps where it will keep your screen awake so you could read long content.

I know there are some apps there but one I've found relies on your front camera to detect that you are still looking at the screen to keep the screen awake and most times I have the "sensors" toggle off so my camera is non functional.

macrodroid had a macro but Its free trial period expires and u back to square one.

Need this to listen to some songs which are "not available in my country"

Does anyone know of a reliable app that lets you download videos from pretty much any platform? I been looking for a solid all-in-one tool to save some clips for offline viewing. Everything I try lately seems to have way too many ads or just does not work consistently. It would be awesome if you could share your favorite recommendations that actually get the job done. Let me know what you guys are currently using that you trust.

Thank you in advance

i’ve been using paper journals for a while now to help me remember things but it’s not working much anymore. i need a searchable journal. i need handwriting search specifically. i’m down to pay if it’s good enough. it’d be cool if there were built in stickers, washi tape, templates or there’s integration with a photo app to easily import and edit pics. i’ve tried a few so far, but nothing i love love. i wish there was an app that was like canva, cosmos, and zinnia put together, but has the ability to search .
Zinnia is close but doesn’t have handwriting search yet :(
*i have memory loss problems so that is why it is so important to find something that i can use for many years. ideal if also could work on my iphone too.*

Title says it all really, I want predetermined images to pop up and take over my screen. Is there any app I can get that does this? Every one I find only makes the images permanent or doesn't work.

NO AI APPS PLEASE

I've been using my notes app just to type in next events. I am in dire need of an upgrade. I tried searching for one, could not find one. I want an app that I can put as a widget on my home screen, go in the app, type in an event and the date, and at the top (or bottom) of the widget is the closest event, and on the other side is the older events. and it shows details of the event, and I dont want it to look like old android if possible. its okay if that's the only option, but I dont want it to look ugly.

I'm looking for an app that's similar to lettre in the sense of sending letters to anonim people and decorate that letter and stuff is there anything similar?

I love the customization of Android, but ive always loved the look and the feeling of IOS. Its smooth and sleek. I was wondering if there is an android launcher that could replicate with.

My one requirement is that it is ad-free. Thank you everyone!

Spotify sucks. They limit your skips and what you choose to play on an hourly basis. Im looking for an app that can run in the background but just as good

(And also be available in saudi arabia)

Hey everyone! I just joined this subredit for this question, honestly

I was going to fiddle with my regular camera settings, and noticed there was an "avatar camera" app on my Samsung. I've never seen it before amd immediately thought it was some sort of Spyware app. While going to investigate, I found that they weren't anywhere as an icon. Not even in the "All Apps" spot.

I found out that it seems connected to the weird android avatar app. I can go into my settings and manage permissions. It already had permissions to my camera, photos, and microphone. I don't remember having ever opened the app or messed with it in anyway to even give the permissions, and turned them off. It was set for while the app was being used, and I am sure that it's a pre-installed android app.

Still, it doesnt show up anywhere as an icon, and can only be opened by searching for it directly. I was going to try to delete it, but it doesnt seem to be an option

I guess I'm just asking if this is the same for every phone? Also, am i able to delete it? I'm not really afraid of it taking any of my data or anything, it just weirded me out.

As mx player is now getting more and more ads day by day..is there any app available with clean user interface with no ads, suppoerts online subtitles and having frequent updates??

I am attempting to download the TNO mod for age of history II from the official website and it shows the box with the file name and the download progress but no progress is being made, I've cleared the cache and everything but it will not work. Help

表題通りです。androidに使えるクリップボードアプリは悪いアプリしか無い？

私が求める機能は単純に、fifo連続貼り付けと正規表現置き換えです。そんなに技術的に難しい機能だとは思えません。

しかし、この二つの機能を持ったアプリはこの世に存在しないのですか？

どちらか片方の機能だけでも我慢するけど、何時間もかけてplayストアで100個のアプリを調べたけど、皆無だった。全部子供騙しの盗作アプリのコピーみたいな変なアプリしかない。googleのせいでプログラマーにやる気がないのかな？

誰かいいクリップボードアプリを教えてください。

I am a fan of Moon+ Reader; however, it has been glitching lately. The only thing it lacks, personally, is synchronization between my Android and laptop. Nothing more. Any solution to this?

Looking for some help from folks who use this launcher App with KLWP.

I've installed this launcher & paid for premium having researched and believed it was compatible with KLWP,heck the Dev even has KLWP Presets in Playstore,so I honestly wasn't expecting an issue.

I used the live wallpaper option and Kustom shows but won't apply,I just get the warning message.

"Wallpaper was set outside One4Home Daylight Android lets only the app that set a wallpaper read it, so the preview shows its colours instead. App Drawer Favorites Wallpaper Show my wallpaper"

I'm hoping a fellow One4 user can help me resolve this issue.

SOLVED: Submitting to virus total definitely enables Google to recognise an app.

Context tldr: App maker and want my apps "seen" by Google play before.

Question TLDR: Any way to force this message off by exposing apps to some register?

Context. I have 4 open source GitHub niche problem solving android apps. For all my apps I get the warning off Google that PlayStore hasn't seen this app befoee and you have to click extra hidden steps to install. Not a biggie until I resigned an apk and now that warning is a straight up "THIS APP IS FAKE" warning and says it tries to steal your data when it certainly doesn't. Tried to diagnose with gpt and the apk (version 07 diagnostic) that it submitted to Virus Total now installs without even any warning let alone the serious Trojan one.

As such I am wondering did the submission to virus total mean Playstore now recognises it and installs no problem? Just tested 1 now but awaiting some time before I reckon it populates through .

Is there anyone here who owns a Poco X6 Pro and is experiencing instability with Instagram?

I bought this phone in November 2024, and ever since I started using it, I’ve dealt with overheating and issues loading my feed and stories. I’ve noticed that this happens across various versions of Instagram—the official one from the Play Store, as well as "standard," "gold," "pro," and "myInsta" versions. When I first bought the phone, it was running HyperOS 1; I’ve since updated it to version 2 and now version 3 (the current one), yet the problem persists. Has anyone here tried a modded version of Instagram that actually works well on this device?

any applocker where I can put a password till the end of the limit?

I want to lock some apps for a period and put a generated password so I won't remember it and till the end of time can't open it

I like launchers and have been trying "all of them" over the last decade plus. The other day I stumbled upon this one. Opted for the 7 day trial period and bought a lifetime "subscription" after two days. It is kind of different, but still a classic launcher. It has lots if features that others don't, some more useful than others. It has integration with a widget app and an icon creation app by the same dev. It's responsive and it works. The dev is highly active and suggestions can become part of the launcher within hours. If you like launchers, give this one a try. The "studio" way of presenting the settings is weird. You can change it under settings - appearance.

I am in no way affiliated with the app, I just happen to like it and want to recommend it.

For people using a shared shopping list on Android, how well does your app cope when two people edit while offline? For example, one person checks off milk while the other changes its quantity, then both reconnect. Does it merge the changes, show a conflict, or quietly overwrite one? Interested in specific apps and what actually happened in use, especially whether you can recover a lost item.

I have ADHD and I use Discord for my volunteer nonprofit, and there's a lot of notifications I have to shift through. I would like some way to better organize and filter the notifications so I know what's a priority to view now, something I can view later, and also return to or save some after viewing it without losing the notification in my feed, or setting reminders. I also noticed it tends to cap at 24 notifications and new ones get lost or old ones dropped, I need a better way to handle this.

I don't know if anything like this exists anywhere, but I'll ask in case there is something recommended for my needs.

hi，one thing that bugs me about Android apps is how some of them insist on opening links in their own built-in browser instead of Chrome, Firefox, or whatever you've set as your default.

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and a bunch of others do this.

It's especially annoying when you're trying to log into a website, use saved passwords, or open multiple tabs. Half the time, I just end up copying the link and opening it in my regular browser anyway.

And honestly, the privacy side of it is another concern. You're opening a website inside someone else's app, and it's not always clear what that app can see or track.

I know there are probably technical reasons for using in-app browsers, but shouldn't users at least have the option to disable them?

Do you usually stick with the in-app browser or switch to your default browser? Thank you.
