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

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.

YTDLnis has more functionality and seems to be more stable.

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.

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.

Murcielago It's a community maintained version of Firefox send with firefox branding removed

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.

UndercoverBozo That is an excellent recommendation, thank you!

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?

hemlockiv

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!

Roger

Murcielago you're a real one for this, solving so many of my problems right now

Murcielago file size (5GB vs 2GB)

Wormhole does up to 10GB.
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).

MarsTrue

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.

There is a new speech recognition service and keyboard which does local voice input using Whisper: https://github.com/soupslurpr/Transcribro
Available on the app store Accrescent.

MarsTrue

fid02 Futo works much better. it also integrates well in the vanadium search widget and open board
https://voiceinput.futo.org

they also make Grayjay, arguably the best YouTube/Odysse/Rumble/twitch/SoundCloud app
https://grayjay.app/

I would also like to mention two sites that offer hundreds of thousands of free, high resolution images for your home/lock screen.

MarsTrue Futo works much better.

In what way does it work "much better"?

MarsTrue

fid02 more accurate speech recognition, be sure to select the high quality settings. better integration as well. try them both and see for yourself.

MarsTrue Hi, I'm the creator of Tranacribro. Version 0.2.0 comes with a bigger model (74M) than 0.1.0 which significantly improved quality, but note that FUTO Voice Input allows you to choose an even bigger model (244M). Transcribro doesn't yet have the option to use a different model, but it is planned and it might be implemented in 0.3.0 in the form of being able to import a downloaded model file which can be one that the app links you to or a custom one. It would mean you can make your own decision on the amount of quality vs speed you want to tradeoff instead of being limited to a few models!

Can you elaborate on "better integration"? It could help with improving Transcribro so feedback would be appreciated!

AppVerifier is a tool I can use to check the signing certificate hash of an app against the signing certificate hash I get from a trusted source and/or its internal database so I don't have to trust GitHub (or other sites) as much not to tamper with APKs I download from them. If I recall correctly, it's made by a GrapheneOS dev too, so I'm surprised it doesn't get more attention.

Community member, not a dev (the user above in fact). It also has gotten a decent amount of attention (at least, recently) so not sure about that comment.
