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

AlanZ

Dumdum including your own if public instances don't have large enough file sizes

Too much work : )

https://github.com/anonfaded/FadCam An open-source ad-free Android cam recorder that allows seamless background video recording, even when the screen is off.

Amazing and useful app for journalists.

horde Can't edit the post, but it is useful for anyone and not specifically journalists only:

Personal Security: Record footage for personal safety or to capture important moments.
Research and Documentation: Use for documenting events, research, or activities where recording is necessary.

horde Thanks for promoting my app! :)
An update that now FadCam is fully changed with whole new UI and options, full changelog is available at GitHub,

Anti2030

faded I've been using this app for a while now, but I'm noticing that when I record it always stops recording at minute 22, why is this happening? Couldn't it last 1 hour recording? Thanks

Everyone probably knows of Izzy -
His Neo Store is pretty awesome as an fdroid replacement for diff repo's etc (a lot even included, just enable or disable what you want/dont)

ffshare is my goto for quickly reducing image sizes when you just want to send a photo quickly.

Cams is a brilliant actively developed rtsp viewer (spare tablet + cams = light weight at a glace monitoring etc)

Saw Markor above, it is fantastic - Quilpad is my 2nd choice for markdown..

Vivaldi is a decent cross platform browser - I do have it installed on my phones though Vanadium is the best by far - Vivaldi can be useful though when you want to sync browser sessions to your laptop etc (*nix in my case)

Bitwarden is nice too - on *nix can try Goldwarden (made by one of the main devs of Bitwarden - he very good at crypto as well)

Do you mean Izzyondroid? Neo Store isn't his. It belongs to machiav3lli.

Ahh - Didn't know that - My apologies :)

N1b liked to use exodus as well (and still do within neo store) but it's very imperfect as it uses badness enumeration.

Try https://beta.pithus.org/ (by same engs who built Exodus) which simply does an extensive static analysis on the APK (it does "badness enum" in that it highlights things it finds concerning, which isn't a bad thing).

Any trick to add Mullvad Leta as default search engine on Vanadium ?
Not just Menu > Add to Home Screen !

Thanks!

UndercoverBozo

proclaim https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/12459-mullvad-leta/2

After a search or two it should appear can even choose the starting engine.

Google: https://leta.mullvad.net/?q=%s&engine=google
Brave: https://leta.mullvad.net/?q=%s&engine=brave

JsonList nice app for previewing JSON files in a user-friendly list format https://github.com/SlaVcE14/JsonList

Sometime I use the app to preview my backups *.json files from Bitwarden .

Btw Any trick to search images only?

matchboxbananasynergy I used to use ReadYou but it gave me a few issues

Oh don't get me started, it's a shame because Feeder is really inconvenient to use a lot of the time and apps on my device have issues running in the background. I'm planning on trying Cappy Reader in addition to Twine

AlphaElwedritsch

ticklemyIP with Cappy reader I cannot get all my RSS feeds working.
For example:

Maybe somebody knows why...

mythodical Seal (F-Droid) - an open source audio/video downloader, based on yt-dlp

How do you think it compares to ytdlnis?

I found Openreads, an open source app for keeping track of book collections and reading progress, all locally. I have rarely seen it mentioned here, but I think it's pretty great for its purpose. I miss the ability to add custom fields such as series info, but it's a planned feature. The latest release was 4 months ago, but development will be picked up again soon according to the developer. (4 months is not a very long time anyway).

If anyone know of any alternatives (preferably also open source) to Openreads, would be happy to hear about it.

Termux for a Linux shell on Android, it can be used for SSH, running python programs on Android files etc. It can be customized as well. Has some weird hickups but I have yet to find a proper alternative.
Auxio is a very polished and comfortable music player for local music. Does everything it needs.
Lichess and Libresudoku for easy games.
Organic Maps is really awesome but I still use OsmAnd for some functions, since it's still modern and has much more functions (which makes it a bit bloated but still).
Material Files is a great alternative for bloated native file managers, it supports SFTP, FTP, SMB and WebDav mounts. Shame it doesn't have some kind of recycle bin function.

Some people like https://github.com/markbirss/vmConsole

Many people await vm support in android and on Pixels to mature further and ithe eventual arrival of vms to GrapheneOS. Its something we'd like to add to make tablets and desktop mode (once Googles work on that is also more complete) more useful.

Google developers have been recently working getting ChromiumOS and Debian vms running under android
https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/main:packages/modules/Virtualization/docs/custom_vm.md

The GrapheneOS dev team is watching and testing this work. We are still some way away from being ready to focus on getting any of this work polished and production ready for inclusion in GrapheneOS.

Barcode Scanner

My favorite barcode scanner, because of the UI, an optional history feature that makes sense, a good barcode generator, extra info about barcode types and the option to (automatically or manually) fetch product info via Open Food/Beauty/Pet Facts and MusicBrainz. F-Droid, GitLab

MixPlorer

Still the most feature rich and customizable file manager available, especially when it comes to networking and cloud support. Unfortunately not open source. Free via XDA (direct download via official Google Drive), or support the author via MiXplorer Silver (Play Store).

Smart Task Launcher

I'll probably never find a proper open source quick launcher like this: appoint actions to gestures in a hotspot region of the screen and open a launcher over other apps to quickly reach other apps, shortcuts or actions. Play Store

Tranquil Stopwatch

A new and reliable stopwatch for timing very long sessions. Doesn't use any service and has a nice OLED-friendly always on display. Really simple and just customizable enough. F-Droid, GitHub

I just recently replaced it by Material Files that even has proper WebDAV- and multi-window-support.
Unfortunately no direct cloud support. But I've read there are third party solutions to bridge Drive to WebDAV 🤷

Speaking of Clouds: If that counts as "feature", when not relying on my own server I'm a user of Infomaniak's Kdrive that I can connect to via WebDAV and therefore mount it to my phone directly.
