I got DAV server synced with phone now is there a good frontend to manage it ?

Thunderbird sucks for this purpose, I don't know why people recommend it.

Libertorrent is buggy and progress get stuck in the middle of download, Navi download is abandoned and doesn't get updates and aria2app UI is awful (doesn't keep downloaded torrents) and don't get updated.

Donations are a key part of what keeps F-Droid independent and reliable and our latest hardware update is a direct result of your support. Thanks to donations from our incredible community, F-Droid has replaced one of its most critical pieces of infrastructure, our core server hardware. It was overdue for a refresh, and now we are happy to give you an update on the new server and how it impacts the project.

I successfully sideloaded F-Droid Classic to my Fire TV Stick. Original F-Droid was repeatedly crashing so I went with F-Droid Classic.

Anybody did the same? Any recommendations for TV / remote friendly apps?

Aggiunto sul telefono principale Photok al posto della galleria normale di Android.
sul secondo telefono invece ho messo: @fdroid, Fossify gallery, Fossify calculator e Proton Calendar. Grazie alle @lealternative

Holy shitballs Batman! Half my F-Droid apps have updates tonight. Did something happen that required a bunch of critical updates, or it is just the @fdroid team getting a bunch of tasks ticked off all at once?

Hi guys! How would you sync bookmarks across multiple devices? I have a secondary old phone for the only purpose of motorcycle navigation. Usually I'd make my edits on the normal daily driver and i just grab the one for navigation on the last minute. Any idea how to get the other phone to quickly sync all updated bookmarks etc?

So, does anyone know of any good foss calendar that has better notifications than the stock google one?

I'd like to be able to add notifications at/before the event AND notifications at/before the end of the event.

Scenario: Child has a bday party at friend's house.

I want to be able to set the activity's length, say 2hrs. Set a notification before the event to remind me when I need to leave to drop them off, and set a notification before the end to go pick them up.

I think it's annoying to have to create a second event to remind me to pick them up. and with multiple children and events the calendar gets cluttered with duplicates.

Suggestions?

I became aware that YouTube is creating inaccurate AI descriptions on seemingly random videos after watching a recent video from Gamers Nexus. Do these descriptions appear if I use NewPipe or even FreeTube?

En mi proceso de #degoogle de mi Android he sustituido el teclado de Google (gBoard, que mide todo lo que escribes) por uno de código abierto que se llama Heliboard que es 100% offline.

Es muy personalizable aunque a mi me gusta por defecto.

Tiene incluso la pusibilidad de función Swipe. También disponible en @fdroid

I set an alarm for 8:55am and it never went off. At 8:58 it was saying that its 38mins until its due to go off.

Ice also had one time alarms just never set, and some issue with the stopwatch.

Alarms are important to me.

What app do you use?

TIL that the official @wikipedia app (available on @fdroid) contains a nice #history #game where each day you get to play five rounds in each of which you have to guess which of two historical events that happened on the same date as the current day happened before the other. (I was quite lucky in this round, especially this last round you see on the screenshot was just a random guess.)

I don't use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don't trust them.

I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.

I don't want to reveal a real phone number because I don't want ads from nobody.

I don't need to see my parent's faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.

Does such an app exist?

On my old android, I used AccuBattery but now I'd prefer an open source alternative. I've seen Battery Bot and another called Plus Plus Battery. The former is really old, last updated like 3 years ago and the latter seems like it is in early stage and built for a few brands in particular. What apps do you use to keep track of battery health?

What I'm looking for is keeping track of battery health like AccuBattery does, monitoring charging and discharging cycles, time remaining etc. Basically everything that AccuBattery does. Any ideas?

I just realised that already for a while I seem to have lost the option to set the notification bar color in KISS launcher. It is just not there anymore. Did it get removed or is it a bug?

I can only set the icons to either black or white.

Running KISS 3.23.0 but I am pretty sure the option was gone since a few releases.

Just got a new pixel 10 and the widget at the top is killing me so I am searching for a launcher.

What do you use?

If you try to find a similar app on the google play store you get apps that do this, but riddle you with data collection prompts. "Free Trial Subscriptions" and "19$ Lifetime purchase ads"
