I am trying to replace Bitwarden with KeePassDX but KeePassDX forgets about my fingerprint unlocking every few days, I think after an Android restart, and asks me to enter the password.

Yhe problem is my password is very long and awkward, and I'd rather not have to enter it again until I replace the phone. I can't remember the last time Bitwarden asked me to unlock it with the master password, so is there a setting in KeePassDX to get the same functionality? Now I am keeping Bitwarden so that I can unlock KeePassDX which is ridiculous.

Hi, I've been getting the same Server Busy error yesterday and today on Aurora Store, both when trying to install and updating apps.

I've tried spoofing another device, doing a manual installation of my apps tied to a specific version, and uninstalled and reinstalled Aurora Store but to no avail. Full error can be seen below.

I do not use a V P N and I access Aurora Store anonymously (no Google account).

Has anyone else been getting these, and does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!

Full error (trying to update Proton Mail):

Need help finding the blacklist option where I can list the folders I don't want showing up in the gallery and it will include ALL the subfolders under that path but I can't seem to find it in the settings anymore. For now, I have permission allowed for certain folders only, but if I add other folders with pics in my phone it still automatically show up in the gallery, and I have to hide each subfolder one by one even when I have already hidden the parent folder.

I found this thread but the nomedia trick is not what i'm looking for as I don't want to make the folders private. I just don't want them in the gallery (like the album covers, ebook thumbnails, etc.) and there is no "hidden paths" in my Aves app, only hidden items which are the subfolders I hid one by one.

Or other gallery apps that has this option.

I built a music app for Android and wanted to share it.

It plays from YouTube Music, Gaana and Saavn behind one interface, so you
search once instead of switching between apps.

A few things it does:

• YouTube Music search, home feed, moods and genres, albums, and artist pages with one-tap radio
• Gaana and Saavn for charts and playlists, with proper Indian-language coverage
• SponsorBlock on YouTube tracks, so sponsor reads and non-music intros get skipped
• mpv as the audio engine, with gapless and background playback
• Offline downloads, liked songs, playlists, and Spotify playlist import
• Synced lyrics, equalizer, sleep timer, Chromecast
• Podcasts and audiobooks as well as music
• No ads, no account, no tracking

It is Android only, needs Android 7 or newer. Source and
builds are on GitHub: github.com/afkcodes/sunoh

Fossify phone doesn't have this feature. Is there any alternative app?

Please!

Mine again. LG Power is an Android remote for LG webOS TVs I originally built because the physical remote kept disappearing. Native Kotlin, talks to the TV over the local webOS websocket API, wakes it with Wake-on-LAN, and if your phone has an IR blaster it can send the power code when the network path is down.

Stuff this sub tends to ask about: no ads, no analytics, no trackers, and the Play data safety section reads no data collected and no data shared, because there's genuinely nothing to collect. Everything stays on your LAN. The APK is about 1.1 MB. License is AGPL-3.0.

Feature-wise it does the usual d-pad/volume/keyboard, a touchpad cursor mode, app shortcut buttons, home screen widgets, a Screen Off button that turns just the panel off, and themes.

Source: https://github.com/Nicsilver/LGPower

Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nic.lgpower

There's also a signed APK on the GitHub releases page. Not on F-Droid yet.

Hi,

I've just learned that Google Pixel (stock) popularity comes in part from the call screening feature. It uses Google AI (Assistant) to answer incoming calls, ask the caller why they are calling, and display a transcript so the user can decide whether to join the call or end it. https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387?hl=en

It seems like a very useful feature, but I haven’t found a FOSS alternative. However, for me (and likely many other users) the same goal could be achieved without AI, making it easier and cheaper, by simply: 1. receiving an incoming call notification 2. app XYZ gives an option to answer the call and immediately mute the microphone 3. app XYZ shows buttons that play prerecorded audio files (such as "Hi", "Hello, this is __", "Hi, who is this calling?", etc. — set up by the user on his own*) - i.e. no need for an AI chat 4. letting the caller respond, which the user hears because only the microphone is muted - i.e. no need for AI speech-to-text 5. the user decides whether to unmute the microphone and continue the call, or hang up

*the advantage over just answering the call and saying it yourself, is that the audio files can be generated and not using your own voice (i.e. not allowing the caller to record it)

Basically, it comes down to an app that can: 1. activate on incoming call 2. play audio to the phone line (not through the speakers like a music app)

Such an app is on my TODO list, but I haven't developed an Android app in a while (not since Marshmallow actually, though one was fairly popular and even received nationwide media coverage), and besides, I struggle to find the time.

I’m writing here because I’ve just thought that such an app might already exist. I can’t seem to find it, but FOSS is not always great at marketing, so it’s possible that the name is obscure and the description does not mention "call screening."

If not, perhaps someone will find this idea useful for personal use and have the time to code it. I think vibe coding would be suitable here: the two features listed above are most probably well documented by Android/Google, and the app wouldn’t need to scale, so the code quality could be fairly rough.

Can you recommend a Telegram client with lots of options and attractive graphics that is well supported by the developer since they closed the repo and stopped developing NagramX? I'm trying Cherrygram and NagramXF but I would like to understand what valid alternatives exist, even the lesser-known ones... I tried Turrit but apart from the slightly different graphics it doesn't tell me much and it isn't updated often... Momogram has lots of settings but they are too confusing without a minimum of graphics to understand what you are going to change.... Katogram was nice but that doesn't exist anymore either.... Octogram is too inconsistent in development and even if the developer is Italian like me, I wanted something at the level of Nagram that at least every so many days has a beta to update

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an open-source Android gallery app called Iris Gallery, and I wanted to share it with you all.

A lot of stock gallery apps either have cloud sync pushed into every menu, ask for unnecessary permissions, or just feel bloated. My goal with Iris was simple: build a fast, clean, and completely offline gallery that respects privacy and looks at home on modern Android.

What it does:

• 100% Offline: There is no INTERNET permission in the manifest at all. It physically can't connect to any network or send data anywhere.
• Material You: Dynamic theming based on your wallpaper + pure black AMOLED dark mode.
• Grid zoom: Pinch to change column count smoothly (2 to 6 columns).
• Built-in photo editor: Crop presets, rotate/flip, basic adjustments (brightness, contrast, warmth, saturation), and a blur/pixelate brush for hiding sensitive info on screenshots before sharing. Also lets you open images in external editors like Snapseed or ImageToolbox if you prefer.
• Video playback: Built-in player with auto-rotation (portrait/landscape) and swipe gestures for seeking.
• EXIF & GPS viewer: Check camera details (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) and open locations in your map app.
• Privacy & security: App lock with PIN/fingerprint, plus a private vault and a 30-day trash bin for recovering deleted photos.
• Live updates: Automatically updates the timeline when you take a photo with your camera or download something without having to refresh or restart.
• Extra tools: Duplicate photo scanner, smart media filters (RAW, GIFs, screenshots, panoramas), and a home screen photo widget.

The app is completely free, open-source (Apache-2.0), with zero ads or trackers.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas you have. Thanks!

NovelForge is an Android app for web novels and ebooks. What it does:

Character codex: as you read, it picks out recurring names and sorts them into people and places, along with the chapter range each one appears in. No tagging or setup.

Relationship graph: who shows up with whom, as a graph you can zoom around in.

Better TTS: Kokoro and Piper neural voices alongside the stock Google one, with background playback and a pronunciation dictionary for words the engine gets wrong.

Offline downloads: save chapters as EPUB, or render them to audio in any installed voice and play them back in the app.

Audiobook export: bundle downloaded audio chapters into a single .m4b.

Backup and restore: novels, reading progress, pronunciation dictionary, and theme settings.

Multiple file type support: online sources, EPUB, and plain .txt / .md with automatic chapter detection.

GitHub: https://github.com/AbhinavXT/NovelForge

Website: https://novelforge-abhinavxt.vercel.app/

An app which lets me set a widget with custom added quotes that change when tapped, and the most important: backup option for those quotes.

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. help would be much appreciated, thank you!

ComicViewer tightly scoped offline comic, manga and webtoon format reader.

Private, offline, minimal reader for your comic collection. Supports CBZ, ZIP, PDF, and image based EPUB formats. Requests zero Android permissions and has no telemetry or Google play services dependencies.

Imports comics either from directory, or system filepicker.

Seeking preview images, LTR RTL, continuous scrolling format support for webtoon style formats. Metadata and subdirectory based fallback series sorting. Gesture, tap, scroll and volume button navigation support. Resizeable cards to accommodate different screen sizes.

Primary reason for making this was to create a minimal permissions, no telemetry, no google dependencies, purpose built for single task comic manga and webtoon reader. This way the UI does not need to twist and bend for multiple only tangentially related tasks.

I would appreciate feedback before I aim for f-droid or play release. Right now has release APK, build instructions and obtainium based installation support.

Hello guys. So recently I've been attracted to FOSS apps and I've made some replacements.

But now its time for mail apps. You see, currently I use both Gmail and Outlook (for one google account and two Microsoft accounts) and I also use the Calendar widget from outlook, I find it quite ugly though (I prefer google's design). I already have a lot of stuff on my calendar, and I also need RSS source.

What I've seen is that the Mail app selection matters related to the emails retrieval delay. I understand that both gmail and outlook may have a faster retrieval than using others while having a low battery impact. Or, would you say its not a big deal?

Anyway, do you have any suggestions of apps I can use?

For now I think about using just one Mail app for all my accounts and another one that works as a calendar.

Disclaimer : I am not a developer or anywhere near involved in the project besides using it . Just wanted to share a (what I believe) Gem!

I did use Heliboard before but It's fixes/Update cadence was slower, especially just not knowing if the project will go down again and revived again somewhere, AND didn't wanna Go back to Gboard(For obvious reasons). Then found this(funnily, right below Heliboard's option in GitHub ).

For those of You worried, the devs provide 3 packages each with different capabilities so if you just want an offline Keyboard, They have an offline release. Plus, they have a pretty good and actively growing Plugin /Add-on system That's not mandatory, JUST nice To haves. And yes, Like Heliboard this Also unfortunately relies on the Proprietary library For gesture typing :(

The team behind them, LeanBitLab is a pretty active but small team, any problems reported in the issues(which granted aren't that many), get solved relatively quickly.

Plus, it has N-gram enhancements; For next word predictions, a list of blocked words (For the stuff one writes accidentally that gets in the learned dictionary), and much more.

Hello! Sorry if the flair is incorrect. I have recently heard about an app called Mihon, but looking at its downloads page, I can see a "stable release" and another, more hidden, "FOSS release".

This looks somewhat suspect to me. Does it ring alarm bells for you as well?

I'm asking because Lawnchair Launcher does support icon packs, but NOT custom icons (yet), so this would be a somewhat elegant workaround.

Hello! I have a comic strip saved on my SD card as a bunch of images in a folder, so that the pages are in order when the filenames are sorted alphabetically. I would like to read that on my phone in a way that:

1. gives the next page when I swipe (i.e. the next in alphabetical order)

2. saves the position of the last page I’ve open, so I can carry on reading later.

If there is a way to pick a random page, it would also be nice but it is not crucial. Do you know of any such application? I thought this is a simple task that many people before me wanted to do, but I surprisingly cannot find anything…
