Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! ๐Ÿคฉ

True. I still miss, and I don't know how to display passing seconds on my clock. It was present in Android 11 and now in Android 14 I cannot find anything to have it. Moreover, I loved on OxygenOS "triple fingers" from top to bottom - doing screenshot. I hate doing it through buttons. Same when I have a turned off-screen I could just "draw" with my finger letter V, and it would turn on the Flashlight and the same way turning it off.

Oh I remember those gestures when I had a Oneplus, I think it was a 3T.

For the clock, if I open my clock app and go to the clock screen it shows me the time with seconds. Or are you meaning in the notifications bar or lock screen?

[โ€“] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, don't know why the only thing that remains from the gestures is navigation...

I mean the top-left corner of my smartphone when unlocked. I have hours and minutes and I want seconds too.

I feel like I need to post a warning before posting these, given the community. These are some google links, but one google support discussion here points to this google play app here that lets you access the hidden system UI tuner to add seconds back. Maybe check it out?

[โ€“] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit it works, thank you! Even after uninstalling it after I did everything I wanted.

Why are they hidding it in built-in settings? Isn't that a developer options or hidden features tab in Android for?

[โ€“] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Glad it worked! Yeah it's weird they make you install a third party app to let you launch something built in, especially since they already have an established path for accessing hidden settings.

[โ€“] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Exactly... But thanks to you I have it now. ๐Ÿ˜„
