My old phone was a redmi note 10 pro with power button sensor and I did find it more accurate than my current pixel 7a under screen sensor. But it hasn’t been a deal breaker for me

Really? I shouldn’t be surprised but that’s depressing. I’m happy to pay for good apps mind

Thing is, there actually are some good basic apps out there. Things like pomodoro timers with no ads or tracking. Super basic but useful, and hard yobfind because they get buried below other ‘slick’ versions stuffed with ads and trackers.

I just went through this trying to transfer 23GB of music samples - tens of thousands of files in nested folders - to an Android phone to use with Koala Sampler. Tried USB, KDE Connect, Onedrive, all failed at some point, couldn’t handle merging, or some other problem. Syncthing was the answer and it was pretty quick too.

On Android, Mull offers more extensions, unless that’s changed recently

You didn’t specify open source so I’ll post a mixture…

GrayJay (YouTube and other streaming video) RiMusic (YT music streamer) Easy Noise (white noise for sleeping) Peristyle (wallpaper changer)

I’m on graphene and I have an ‘adaptive’ option under Display > Colors

American companies have way more power over my life than the Chinese government

Ah yes I remember this guy, they call him the Crystal Methodist

Also Renoise (also not FOSS,. but good)

It’s a shame because I really want to use Firefox. I’m sure this is partly aggressive memory management on Android, and maybe especially on MIUI (do you have a Xiaomi by any chance?) But none of the Chrome derivatives have this issue (Brave, Vivaldi, Privacy Browser all work fine for me)

Yes. If I’m away long enough they might, but I’ve just switched back to Brave after about an hour away, and no refresh. Whereas Firefox would refresh every time I switched app, which made it unusable for me. E.g. enter username on a webpage, switch to password manager to copy password, switch back and Firefox reloads the page. Infuriating

I never found a solution, switch to Brave. Still use Firefox on desktop

This is what I do, no trackball but it’s like an air pointer thingy, w keyboard too… works well
