*(cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/20476024)* After more than two years FlorisBoard (an open-source keyboard which respects your privacy) 0.4.0 is finally released with many new features including MDY support, addons store, incognito mode, major smartbar rework and many other bugfixes and improvements. Regarding the spell checking (from GitHub release notes): > Word suggestions/spell checking are not included in the current releases and are a major goal for the v0.5 milestone.
I have an older Samsung Galaxy A3 with an already unlocked bootloader (it comes pre-unlocked) that I want to clean & root. I have a few apps like firefox, some games, DraStic, notesnook, etc. as well as my music. I want to keep all of this of course bug remove all the other bloat i dont need. I dont want a custom ROM or anything. The samsung ROM is good enough (android 6.0.1) I am very unaure on the process though & I dont want my old phone to get bricked so I'd appreciage it if somebody helped me out here, thanks.
I'm looking for a way to dump raw data from an entire phone or at least the `sda` block to a PC, using a method other than `adb pull`. When I run `adb pull /dev/block/sda sdaDump.img`, it creates a dump file. To find what I need, I have to search through this raw data using a `Hex Editor`. If the dump comes from a fully functioning phone, I can usually find what I’m looking for because all the data is still intact. However, I accidentally wiped the `metadata` partition on my phone, so the decryption keys/files are gone. Now, because of that, some folders appear empty when checked with TWRP's File Manager, even though the actual files are still there. If I create a dump now, the raw data in the file won't be the same as when the `metadata` was present, and those folders weren't showing as empty. Running `adb pull /dev/block/sda sdaDump.img` now results in a dump where the `Hex Editor` shows zeroes (no data) where these files should be. Is there any alternative method to create a raw data dump of the `sda` block or entire phone storage, that will capture that data as it is (not empty folders, but the data in them), even if it's encrypted? I don't want to create the raw data dump onto the phone storage and then transfer it to a PC, but something that works like `adb pull`, in the sense that it pulls the data from the phone directly onto a PC. Thanks a lot in advance to everyone!
I need to ask a small favor from the good people of Lemmy.ml Community. In short, I accidentally wiped the `metadata` partition on my `Poco F3` and now I can't boot into the OS and access my data. I have a lot of pictures, videos and other stuff that I would hate to lose, because of a mistake. But all that is still on the phone, I just can't boot the phone to access it. Thankfully, there is a way to fix this by creating a full backup of the phone with `adb`, then using a **HEX Editor** to manually look through that gigantic file and try to find the files that were in that metadata partition. A huge thanks to [bluet33th](https://xdaforums.com/m/bluet33th.12929753/), a user from [XDA Forums](https://xdaforums.com/m/bluet33th.12929753/), without whom I would be helpless and couldn't do any of this. It might be a bit complicated and manual process, but it is possible. He explained everything in great detail here, so check it out, especially if you are facing the same problem, this will help you tremendously: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-recover-data-if-metadata-partition-was-deleted.4686789/ In order to find these files and put them back where they belong, I need your help, because I have to know their names, exact sizes and at least part of their content, so that I can search for it. Because I'm searching for a specific text in a text file that is 128 GB in size. I have already tried this on another Xiaomi phone, to make sure this procedure works on Xiaomi phones and it does, but that phone had `HyperOS` with `Android 14` and since every phone and android version is probably different, in order to be sure, I need this information specifically for `Poco F3` with `Android 13`. It doesn't take long, but if you don't have the time to look inside your `metadata` partition and tell me which files are inside of that partition and their sizes in bytes, you can just make a backup of the `metadata` partition and sent it to me, and I'll do the rest of the work. Here are the steps on how to create a backup: 1) Turn on your phone and boot into `TWRP`, then connect your phone to a PC, type `cmd` inside Windows search and run cmd, then position cmd into your `platform-tools` folder (if you flashed your ROM, you should already have the necessary drivers installed for the next steps to work). For example, if your `platform-tools` folder on Windows is inside `C:\platform-tools`, all you need to type into cmd is: `cd C:\platform-tools` You can also just go inside your `platform-tools` folder and type `cmd` in the address bar and the cmd will start already positioned inside that folder. 2) Then type `adb devices` and you should see your device, if you do, that means that all the drivers are successfully installed and your phone is detected.  3) Type `adb pull /dev/block/by-name/metadata`  4) After that, you should see a file named `metadata` inside `C:\platform-tools`. That is the file that I'm looking for and as you can see, it takes just a few minutes to get it. You can skip the next steps (5 and 6), but I'll explain them, just in case someone wants to extract these files for themselves, so that you have them in case something like this happens to you. Of course, you can also proceed to extract the files and tell me their names and sizes. Here is what you need to do: 5) Extract the content of the `metadata` file, you can use a software like `7-Zip`. Go inside that extracted folder, then into `vold > metadata_encryption > key` 6) Inside of that `key` folder, you should see a few files. These are the important files and save them somewhere safe in case you ever need them. Since I don't have them anymore, in order to recreate them, I need to know their exact names and sizes in bytes. You can check the size of every individual file by right clicking on the file and choosing `Properties`. Then look under `Size`, **not** `Size on disk`, and in parenthesis, you should see the size in bytes.  Please, if you could check the size of every file and write down which file has what size. I would really appreciate it. I'm specifically looking for someone who has a `Poco F3` with `Android 13` and `MIUI`, because I'm not sure if `HyperOS` changed something, so maybe the number of files or their size is different. But feel free to post the information even if you have `HyperOS`, but please mention that, so that I am aware of it. Thanks a lot for your help, it really means a great deal.
*(cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/19917523)* Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?
Hello, I bought my first used phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro) and was wondering what are the best practices taken before using it. I've read the reviews of the merchant selling the phone, looked into ratings and asked some questions about the condition of the phone, so I'm sure of my purchase on that end. What about after receiving the phone? I know I would run a factory reset, aside from that, is there anything else to do?
Across the world, the biggest smartphone manufacturers are Apple (28%), Samsung (24%), Xiaomi (12%), Oppo (6%) and Vivo (5%). However, there are geographic patterns in popularity, with Apple dominating North America and East Asia, while Samsung leads in South America, Europe, Africa and West Asia in addition to its home turf of South Korea. Xiaomi is the most popular phone brand across South Asia, Spain, Venezuela, Ukraine, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Palestine, while Tecno is popular in West and Central Africa. Oppo, Vivo and Huawei lead in Indonesia, Bhutan and Togo respectively.
Context: I have a Chromecast with Google TV today that I'm quite happy with, after having heavily customized the thing. However, it's only 1080, and I recently got a 4k TV and would like to be able to get the full mileage out of it. Now that Google are sunsetting the Chromecast series, is it a bad idea to pick up a 4k Chromecast, or should I just wait for the new device to drop? It seems a bit pricier and I'm not sure if there are any features I should necessarily wait for. My use-case is basically watching YouTube/Nebula/Netflix/Jellyfin.
How to move Search bar to top in KISS Launcher. [@android](https://lemmy.ml/c/android) In kiss launcher Search bar is at bottom and I want it to be at top of screen. It is not a option by default but I remember a fork implemented it. Can anyone tell me that fork if they remember?
Today I opened the App Store on my GrapheneOS to see, that Accrescent is now mirrored in it. I know, that GrapheneOS devs have addressed F-droid very negatively it the past ([and they still do that](https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14452-how-to-explain-why-accrescent-over-f-droid/19)), but imo, including Accrescent as a part of official GOS App Store is very harmful for FLOSS movement, as Accrescent [does not support any third-party repos](https://accrescent.app/faq#other-repos), claiming that they are "breaking the Android security model", and also [allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo](https://accrescent.app/faq#open-source). This unlikely to be the reason for me to change OS, as GrapheneOS is still amazing, but devs rhetoric and actions become more and more concerning for me.

Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this: - Network (1976) - Lone Star (1996) - Devils (1971) - The Seventh Seal (1957) - ... _Many more films_ But how do you rank these? You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists. A much easier method is to use [pairwise comparisons](https://www.opinionx.co/blog/pairwise-comparison), which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best.

Android 15 Beta 4 is available today as the preview cycle nears its end.
Hey all, so I used Blokada (5, I think) for a long time but then when they forced an upgrade I moved on to AdAway. AdAway is great, it's not perfect, but it gets the job done. I decided to give ProtonVPN a try, due to recent state legislative website laws. I like it, it's cool but it doesn't block ads in the free version and AdAway can't run at the same time, afaik. I've heard lots of people talking about how great FF with ublock is and I only recently switched back to Firefox so I'm considering giving that a try but I'm getting overwhelmed. What is the right combination to block most ads as well pretending to be from another state?

I have a Pixel 6 Pro (fully stock) who's wallpaper was migrated from an old S series Samsung. The wallpaper is a photo I took many years ago that I can't seem to find, so the wallpaper is the last remaining copy that I have. Where can I find the photo and/or how can I extract it so that I cam back it up?

Basically I want to hide that all info next to that pencil icon. That info is shown only after I enable developers options in settings. Any ADB command or Setting in Android?
I want to start learning android dev and I understand that I’ll need the android sdk and cli tools. I want to try it in a kvm because even though it is open source, I would like to keep it separate from my main system. Which distro and vm settings do you suggest I use? Any other tips or your experience with android development on linux would be helpful as well.

# 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](https://github.com/Psyhackological/AAA/blob/main/README.md#f-droid) and source code repository releases) - Free as in Freedom - Ad-free - Installed and tested by me or by contributor - [Privacy-friendly aware](https://github.com/Psyhackological/AAA/blob/main/PRIVACY_MANUAL.md) - 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](https://github.com/Psyhackological/AAA/blob/main/README.md#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](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Psyhackological/AAA/main/README.md) repo, and I would love some help with it. [🏔️ Codeberg version](https://codeberg.org/Psyhackological/AAA) I hope you will find it useful! 🤩
I really love solitaire, and I'm looking for a good looking FOSS app. Ideally it should have Klondlike and Napoleon's Tomb. I currently am using the Simple Solitaire Collection( [link found here](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.tobiasbielefeld.solitaire/) ), which is good but doesn't look very modern.
