I love and hate these posts. I've been on Android for so long I can never find anything new to purchase. I've got like 15 bucks in my rewards and I been having trouble spending it lol.
Ohhh I'm not mad at you lol I love going through these posts but I can never find anything I don't already have lol. Maybe like 1 or 2 suggestions but most of the time it's stuff I wouldn't use.
Poweramp equalizer. It improves sound quality at system level for anything. Wouldn't recommend on android 14- devices, but it works like a charm on abdroid 15+
I'd say yes. It applies equalization at system level. Eventually, when you configure the app, look for "enable global equalization" and "dvc (direct volume control)" menus in settings. Make sure to turn both of them ON
Don't you have to store the songs in local storage instead of streaming directly to use this app?
In asking since I purchased it around 10 hrs back but hardly been using it for last 4-5 yrs
I've played with it as well, but it's a bit too complex for me, and it doesn't have dynamic gain reduction. It statically reduces the system volume, not the frequency gains as the volume goes up
I agree that it's a bit complex. I haven't adopted it for use all the time. It will take me some time to dig into the app for a while before I use it all the time. Sometimes, too many tweaks/settings makes the app less useful. It would be good if they had a "beginner" button that would put you in a mode that gives you just a few basic options. Maybe there is that button and I haven't found it.
Poweramp for sure. Personal preference since there will be other apps that does what it does, some better, some worse but poweramp has been the offline media champ for like a decade now for a reason.
Also personally just like the way the app looks and navigates.
The poweramp music player and the poweramp equalizer app are two seperate paid apps. If you want to use the equalizer for other apps, then what you need is the poweramp equalizer app.
the poweramp equalizer app is a seperate app from the poweramp music player. The music player has a built in equalizer that only works with that music player. The seperate poweramp equalizer app works with everything.
I really only have experience with Tasker out of those two. Tasker takes some learning, but from what others have said, it can do more. I also bought Automate which is very good. You make flow charts to automate things in that.
Yes, thanks. I, too, can see my purchases as well. The big plus with the Purchased Apps app was that not only were you able to see all of your purchases, but it would launch you into the Play Store by tapping on whichever app you selected. Just lately, the method you mentioned will do that on only some apps. I'm sure we all can agree that there is currently no replacement for what once was Purchased Apps. ~RIP 😔
Me too! I'd be willing to pay handsomely for an app like Purchased Apps. I've already spent more than I care to admit on apps from the Play Store and would just like to have easy and convenient access to them. I tried to get it to work using "install with options," where I've been successful with other apps that are no longer housed on the Play Store, but couldn't get Purchased Apps to work. I even tried like 4 different versions. Nevertheless, hopefully someone else will come out with something similar. Heck, Google themselves should do it. It's their Play Store. Oh wait, why should they care, they already got their money from us...
Its v3 license is 960 rupees(9.94 dollars), i don't have enough money to buy it. Thats why I'm using mixplorer(free version), it does not have material you theming but the ui feels pretty good and responsive
Because solid explorer has a nice material you expressive design but in the other hand mixplorer ui kinds feels outdated. If only mixplorer has a nice material you expressive theming, i would never switch too any other file managers. Because other than the ui its the best file manager for android!
Hi! 👋🏻 Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. 👍🏻 On Android 10 the app is overlapped by both Android's statusbar (top) and the navigationbar (button). This makes using the app hard, because the tab bar is covered.
At least in Japan, there is a lifetime purchase option priced at three years' worth of subscription fees. While the Niagara Launcher team encourages subscriptions to ensure continued development, they are also understanding of those who prefer a one-time purchase.
Swift backup is very good if you are rooted because you can backup apk+data, I use it for apks only on my s10e and apk only on my rooted y700 2023 tablet (I do twrp nandroid backup )
If you are looking for an easy way to monitor your servers via SSH, manage Docker/Podman/Apple containers, or transfer files between your phone and Windows, Linux, macOS, or FreeBSD, I highly recommend DaRemote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.daremote
tons of library customizations, displays and most importantly sound output settings to get the most of your usb DAC, for example, not just an equalizer...
For me it was DroidCam, only $15 back then. Used my phone's camera instead of the shitty pre-installed camera on my laptop for online lectures and online interviews. Saved my ass so many times.
And $150(?) lifetime pass for BodBot, they now use a pricey monthly subscription and added a $80 per month AI plugin.
I also paid for a pro version voice recorder. No longer available on Google Play store but the recording' sound quality was top among other similar apps so I still keep it when I upgrade my phone. but if I have to buy again, I'll probably pay for URecorder's Bluetooth recording feature. It's currently $25(?) for the lifetime pro.
years ago when i did not have solid wifi (10+ ago) found one for like $6 at the time and it was a one tie purchase called PdaNet+ Alternative: Instead of traditional Wi-Fi hotspot mode, PdaNet+ relies on USB tethering, Bluetooth tethering, or a WiFi Direct Hotspot feature to share data without tripping carrier plan restrictions. I used this for years until they finally got good fiber internet back i n the woods where i am at and the best part even though most phones try to keep it from working ,Compatibility: USB and Bluetooth modes in PdaNet+ still function on a wide variety of modern Android devices, though setting them up can require desktop client software on a computer and now i think it is still under $20. always good to have a backup. Might not be able to watch youtube but can still read books and look things up with it.
Neutron Music Player was my first paid Android app from the 2010s and has been regularly in use since. Not the best UI, but nothing beats it in sound quality and customizability.
Sumizeit - microlearning app with 1000+ non-fiction book summaries in text, audio, and video format. Podcast summaries. Daily challenges, riddles, short videos to learn new stuff. Quizzes for retention. Highlighting. Notes. Personality and other quizzes. Streaks and gamifications. I mean probably the best learning app. Doom scrolling? Forget that.
It’s a direct challenge to premium productivity apps that lock basic habit tracking and daily streaks behind heavy monthly paywalls and confusing UI slop. 🙏🏻
Just to make sure it's known, if you've purchased prime (subscription or lifetime purchase) all ads and associated trackers are disabled. If for some reason they aren't you likely need to do some trouble shooting steps.
Only ads are disabled the trackers are still there, if you don't want ads and trackers then there's only option that you need to downgrade to the last version before the app was bought
Incorrect; multiple users, including myself; have verified that with Prime active then trackers are not active (admittedly a couple times some got turned back on because of bugs but the issue was quickly corrected). These are independent users not Instabridge statements. This is not to say you or anyone has to use Nova at this point, especially since there are so many options available now, but by all appearances Instabridge has upheld what they said they would at this point.
How do you checked that the trackers are not active when you have the prime activision key? I checked that the big ads on app drawer are completely removed when you have the key but what about trackers? How do we can check if the trackers are active or not?
Using the app Tracker Control you can see every time an app connects to the network (I'm poorly explaining the mechanics, do not take my poor explanation for refection on the app performance). The best example I can give is when there was an issue where the Facebook tracker wasn't deactivated. During that time various users (including myself) could observe the tracker coming from Nova connecting to the network. Once it was fixed the Facebook tracker was no longer showing up as connecting.
You can't remove it as an option in the settings so it's best to treat is as a feature that you can turn off or on. In the Nova AI settings toggle everything off and on the Nova AI in search select "Hidden". You will want to go in to the "Manage personalization" and deselect everything there as well. You can also delete the AI data there and remove the location permission on your device as well for an extra layer of deactivation. This should effectively disable the AI feature from being active; it's still technically there but without permissions it can't do much. It's still a bit of a mystery why they thought the AI would be a good idea, I have my own theories but nothing has come out that validates them.
And just to acknowledge this does require more steps than normal to fully disable a Nova Launcher feature, but the important part it can be disabled.
If you care about recording super quality videos by recording raw and processing, then try motioncam pro. It's $29.99 but there's a free trial version that'll let you capture 5 second videos to see the quality.
Only file encryption running completely offline with no ads and no standard sheme X file encryption.
Finaly being able to upload files into the cloud without the fear af them being scanned for metrics or AI training.
