I found this very promising app that looks like it can be an alternative to Ferdium, Rambox, Franz, Hamsket.

WebSpace is an app that brings websites and web apps together in one organized, streamlined interface. Any web app you can think off can be used in WebSpace in its own web instance instead of your main web browser. Basically it is a web browser but for web apps you use often and may want running in the background.

For use degoogled users who use website, web apps, PWAs over native apps, this makes using these services much easer.

WebSpace also adds many privacy features such as ad blocking and filtering, cookie isolation, and more.

Also it is written in Flutter! Meaning this could become available on desktop in the future! One app, one codebase for all major OSes!

Check it out and contribute!

BayLibre is proud to announce a successful collaboration with SpacemiT to enable initial functionalities of Android 16 on the SpacemiT K1 (RISC-V RVA22 + RVV 1.0) System-on-Chip (SOC). This achievement marks a significant step toward validating and accelerating Android enablement on high-end RISC-V platforms.

The main objective of this project was to validate the feasibility of porting modern Android to recent, high-performance RISC-V platforms. Furthermore, this work serves as crucial preparation for Android enablement on upcoming RISC-V profile RVA23 SOCs, as much of the effort and code will be directly reusable.

1. No Root
2. No Bootlocker unlock
3. No Custom ROM
4. Needs Google Play Service
5. Needs to be installed via Google PLay Store
6. Needs my phone number
7. Needs that SIM in that phone
8. Needs that SIM in that slot
9. Needs location
10. Works only via Mobile Data
11. Developer options disabled
12. Needs someother app to be uninstalled
13. Disable VPN (Firewall apps use that)

So for bank stuff to need a seperate phone, other for whatsapp (and other spyware) and then your main thing. And when you go out people ask questions.

I don't understand my apps are developed with their security dependent of the OS, why can't they make secure apps

Are there any smaller Android tablets around the size of the Ipad Mini (8.3" screen size) that have stylus support? I know about the Lenovo Legion Pro Tab but it seems to be only available in China right now and is going to be very expensive when released in the U.S.

Looks like Fastmail doesn't have any Android widgets, unfortunately.

Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. Youtube is blocked in Russia. Moscow court fines Google in $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Google allows MAX, a Russian state surveillance app, on the Play Store. Irony?

Hello, world! Is it possible to somehow remove an unlocked bootloader warning on newer Motorola phones?

I've tried to flash custom logo.bin via fastboot flash logo command. Boot logo has changed but the warning hasn't been removed. Instead it just became plain text (as well as whole fastboot menu).

Would be grateful for any of you suggesting something ;)

It's amazing to me how all these years later AndStatus really still is the best Android app for the fediverse.

Sometimes simple is just better. @AndStatus had to remove support for #twitter a while back for obvious reasons. I would appreciate it if they would add support for a couple other SNS like Bluesky or NOSTR. But I'm a happy camper without it even if they never reach the cross platform function of OpenVibe or SonaSNS for iPhone. The snappiness and off-line first nature of it is just something clients with a "modern" UI can't achieve.

Finally enabled the fingerprint sensor on my phone. The fingerprint unlock icon doesn't show up when the screen is off which means it takes one tap and one push to wake up the phohe. "Screen-off fingerprint unlock" shows up in the search results in settings, but there is no actual setting (that I can find) that will allow me to turn this on. Just a minor annoyance, but it would be nice if it worked. Any ideas?
