  • What feature/app do you use that the majority never talk about?

Poweramp has completely swamped all other music apps with its versatility, flexibility and power-sipping. I am new to it yet it is teaching me things about music I didn't know. Runs on GOS with no issues found so far.

    N1b is there an alternative?

      UndercoverBozo Not sure if this fits the topic, but I really like the GOS built in DND. I've got my family and good friends tagged as favorites so their calls and messages come right through. I no longer have to deal with my phone ringing from rouge callers.

      CIFS Document Provider allows mounting SMB, FTP, etc. (no NFS though, I dont think there is an option for NFS on Android) via Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF). This allows viewing network shares in the AOSP file manager which comes with GrapheneOS rather than another crappier file manager. The AOSP file manager is also used as the file picker for most apps, so it is also infinitely more useful than an alternate file manager in that respect. Ive had great luck with it so far, it really is far superior to any other method of accessing network shares.

      Also Localsend for quickly transferring files to/from android and other devices over the network is really useful. Its a flutter app so the interface is very consistent and clean on all versions, and works a lot better than warpinator or other similar tools that ive tried.

      Not really an android app, but better-adb-sync is also very useful on occasion for transferring large files quickly to a computer over a cable. As the name implies it uses adb for file transfer rather than mtp or any network protocol. It is very fast!

      FlipSid not to my knowledge, but feel free to open a new thread about it and let the experts guide you.

      Back to OP: I just realized InnerTune is missing on this list, I feel like nobody talks about this free and private Spotify replacement.

      Also this Audio Recorder does exactly what I need and gets out of my way quickly.

        App Manager.

        Does so many wonderful things! Doesn't need root for most things, will back up and restore APKs, and external data. Will allow you to freeze apps, play with app ops for very fine grained permission control, and much more!

        Murcielago What advantages does this have over sendvisee? As far as i could tell its basically the same thing except that sendvisee is open source and wormhole isnt.

          Never heard of sendvisee, so I can't compare them. Thanks for the tip; I'll definitely give it a try.

          except that sendvisee is open source and wormhole is not.

          The Sorce code for the streaming encryption implementation, based on Encrypted Content-Encoding for HTTP (RFC 8188) is open source.

          According to the FAQ, the complete client and server code may be made available as open source in the future.

            I tried it but I like Musicolet better as it has a more intuitive layout and just as many options.

            I prefer local music so Seeker is a great option.

            I find Fossify Voice Recorder more easy to use. It also has an inconspicuous widget for quick start.
            https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Voice-Recorder

              Macrodroid for device automation. Like Tasker but free and (imo) much more intuitive.

              Shizuku for safer root-ish privileges, like silent app updates and on-device ADB shell.

              Lockscreen Widgets for, well, lockscreen widgets!

              I briefly tested Sendvisee. The most relevant advantages of the respective systems (for me) are

              Wormhole

              • file size (5GB vs 2GB)
              • online viewer (you can play images, audio, and videos without downloading)
              • Possibility to delete files before the timer expires

              Sendvisee

              • completely open source
              • Possibility to create password-protected download links

              Thanks for the tip, I will definitely use Sendvisee more often in the future.

                Catima is used, for example, to store barcodes from bonus cards, which you can then present at the checkout and have scanned. I also use Keepass and try to use as few apps as possible, too. Hence my question: How do you do this with the presentable barcodes in KeepassDX?

                  Murcielago file size (5GB vs 2GB)

                  1. Wormhole does up to 10GB.
                  2. The 2GB for Send only applies to the official vis.ee instance. Other instances can go up to 30GB. There's also the option of running your own instance and having whatever size limit you want.

                  Also, Wormhole seems to just be a fork of Send, or am I crazy? The UI for them are the exact same (the only difference is "Wormhole lets you share" vs "Send lets you share" in the description paragraph).

                    Murcielago you can add one or more photos to a keepass entry and tap on them to go fullscreen. I have one entry on the main screen for all my barcodes.

                    OK, I didn't know that. Thanks for the correction.
