Adding on some more notes/suggestions

  • Open Camera is also a great camera alternative. You still can use all the fancy features like "night" mode, the UI is just a bit less straightforward.

  • Heliboard is also an excellent keyboard choice, if you don't like FUTO's open but not FOSS model

  • Another part of the battery issue might be the "new toy effect", its been a few weeks so may not be the case anymore, but when we get a new phone we spend hours and hours setting it up skewing our perception of the battery life. (I typically get 3 full days on Graphine on P9, with light to moderate use)

  • If you don't like Vanadium, you can try Firefox(or a fork), it has extension support, which includes UBlock Origin. There are some good privacy reasons Graphine ships with a chromium browser that you can read on the website.

  • For syncing data, Syncthing is an excellent choice. There is an IOS app fork, called Mobius Sync. Due to Apple restriction is doesn't run in the background, but just opening the app and letting it sync is a lot easier than manually doing stuff (I set a Shortcut script to open the app everyday when I'm typically using my ipad). Your also limited by Apple's "user" file system. On Android you can sync anything except the root folder, great for music, photos, docs, any exported app settings files, and keypass files if you go that route for passwords.

  • F-Droid is a great source for open-source apps. I have hesitations on the Auroa store, read it can't verifiy apps like play store does so something could be inserted mid-tranaction. Likely hood is probably 0, but something to consider.

  • You can replace the home screen launcher, the one Graphine ships with is pretty basic. Lawnchair is a very popular one. I use one called Neo Launcher (from F-droid, not the play store one with same name). There are a ton of different takes on what a launcher can be, from a super minimalist text list of your apps and some with some insane customization options.

  • Widgets are definitely app-based for what you get. Apple has a more cohesive design across them that app devs tend to (have to?) follow, while android is just a free for all.

Please look here for a reminder to never post your children's pictures online. If they're too young to have a social media account, they're too young to be on social media.

Looks like an adult gave her an oversized scarf, kid doesn't look happy to be there, probably cold too.

Most of these are great, but I disagree with the Yenife

Museums or historical sites? They tend to have all kinds of educational programs plus you get to hang out with the cool artifacts instead of just looking at them in the school textbook.

There probably are, but a lot of the big ones pulled the plug due to some very unwanted side effects.

Safest bet is to be a child in Skyrim.

Not sure if there's any mods left on the main sites to make them killable.

Edit, realized this was already answered half a day ago. Should have checked the comments more first....

Do you have the bottom nav bar on?

Should have a home, inbox, search and profile shortcuts.

It can be enabled in settings General -> Bottom Navigation

There's an option to hide it on scroll, so that might be throwing you off a bit.

The only major feature missing I'm aware of, is spoiler support.

Filters or buy water by the gallon. You'll have to actually talk to your neighbors, no one here can know for sure (unless your neighbor is here too).

They're doing one 1 of four things:

  • Enjoying lead free water because its a problem in your house
  • Enjoying leaded water ignorant of the lead.
  • Buying lots of bottled of water.
  • Installed a filter system.

Gintama.

Took me a while to realize the whole post-war samurai living in an era of peace premise was just Kenshin but with aliens.

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks [email protected]


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

 

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (self.android)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by helpImTrappedOnline to c/android
 

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
