Just to be clear: Android is NOT becoming closed source! Google remains committed to releasing Android source code (during monthly/quarterly releases, etc.) , BUT you won’t be able to scour the AOSP Gerrit for source code changes like you could before.

Why? Lol

What are talking about? They’re top notch in terms of security, privacy and don’t spy on you, like at all! I trust this struggling company, they try to keep their apps bug free

It’s /s if that wasn’t obvious

I know but I kinda love grayjay and how I can locally sync my watch history, subs, etc between PC and android. I know there’s a feature request for this though

Grayjay ($10 or unlimited free trial, source-available with OSS plugins)

I wish it had DeArrow inside the YouTube plugin like sponsorblock! I know there’s someone who made a plugin or you can use a third party app but I was hoping something official. $10 is fair, recently paid for the keyboard after they added multi-language support (was planning to pay and finally did it after this addition)

Cool projects

You’re welcome! Sadly, it closes when you reload the tab but it’s the best solution Ive found so far, sorry

Firefox + MobiDevTools extension?

They have their own repo https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo I wish it had customizable symbols (it does but it’s not as easy as Heliboard)

Edited, thank you! Weird, shared the link from droid-ify

Was set to “aggressive”. Another reason why I switched was for the clipboard, for some reason if I set to “unlimited” retention time, it sometimes clean all non pinned elements. Both are great but I like Futo more

Last time I used it (3 weeks ago?),before switching to futo, it had a bad dictionary and never corrected me, futo does and it’s very aggressive (good since I make a lot of mistakes)

Try futo!

Unless spectrum pushes some kind of update that reinstall it, you’re okay! The first OS update check if it’s there, if not you’re safe

No worries! Note that it doesn’t really uninstall it, I mean it does but the app is still there, available for you to be reinstalled in case it’s an essential app, in that case do:

adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>

So save the app package name somewhere. It uninstalls the app for the current user but it’s still available in the system (it doesn’t run if you uninstall it, no worries)

You can. ADB is your friend.

pm list packages | grep '<OEM/Carrier/App Name>' you can try to see with spectrum

Fuck google! Thank GOS for improving my security without some weird apps like this lmao

Sure! Pay me 5000$/month to do that

Ads? I’ve never seen one in the past 6 years

Uh I didn’t know that

Android studio has it’s own way to install, just enable wireless debug in devs settings (tap 7 times the build number in software info) and connect it to android studio. That’s how I do it and just click the “play” button and studio does everything automatically
