Are there any smaller Android tablets around the size of the Ipad Mini (8.3” screen size) that have stylus support? I know about the Lenovo Legion Pro Tab but it seems to be only available in China right now and is going to be very expensive when released in the U.S.

Irony?
These non-unlockable bootloader verizon phones that I've been saving from the trash. They make ok wireless camera and keypads and stuff. But not being able to enable adb in tcpip mode at boot without taking them to my computer has been preventing me from relying on them for anything.
“OnePlus has announced a new system that limits who can unlock the bootloader on their phones. Stating reasons such as “data security” and an enhanced “system stability” […]. OnePlus has introduced a new procedure where anyone wanting to unlock the bootloader on their devices must first fill out an online request form for “Deep Testing””.
Google released a new version of its design system, a kind of extension kit, in alpha version: Material 3 Expressive, more energetic, positive and expressive.
ArcaneChat 2.6.0 is on its way to Google Play and f-droid and should be available in the upcoming days, can't wait? for other download options check https://arcanechat.me/
Is it possible to Spoof Android User Agents without rooting? I have found https://github.com/ray-lothian/UserAgent-Switcher but it requires rooting. Since I'm using GOS I don't think rooting my device is a good idea.
I am trying out the "Modes" on my Galaxy Tab S8+ and curious if default browser can be changed depending on the "Mode"? I know that I can have apps be allowed to run, and that the wallpaper can be set to different images for each "Mode". Just not sure if it can switch to a different set of defaults. Thanks in advance to any information.
I have >350 albums automatically generated. Nearly all of albums comes from a folder managed by Obsidian. I'm having trouble to understand why the system create an album for every folder on my device.
Google is quietly rolling out its Gemini AI tool as the default assistant on Android, even on devices where users never explicitly enabled it. In many cases, Gemini replaces Google Assistant by default, making it increasingly challenging to disable fully.
I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:
Currently using htop on termux but would ideally like something similar to the system monitor on KDE, that can show a graph of individual core usage as well as memory usage. Does anything like that exist that's open source?
I use basic Google Pixel Camera app that forces me to have Google Photos installed so I can view my photos. My workaround is just going to the gallery directly. I don't use GrapheneOS's camera as I've seen worse quality when comparing two. I heard of modded Google Camera's for specific devices. Any suggestions?
The storage and processing power of modern smartphones are touted to rival those of a typical laptop. Yet, my trash-picked testing system from over a decade ago with a bottom-of-the-barrel SATA SSD can still boot to the Linux desktop faster than all but one of my Android devices.
Android requires I have a dozen beta testers before I'm allowed to push my app, Blorp, out to the store. My app is FOSS, has matching web, iOS, and MacOS versions with more to launch (e.g. Linux). My goal is to ship one unified Lemmy experience for all Platforms.
Yes you can monitor which app eats what, and probably circumvent this with a vpn layer, but sometimes I just wish I would be able to pause an app's access to the net
My phone screen is shattered, totally un-usable. When I plug it into my computer (Linux Mint) it is recognized but I can not enter pin to unlock the screen and also USB debugging is not enabled :(
So, like it says on the tin: I want to try GrapheneOS on my next new-to-me phone, which practically limits me to the Pixel series. And my price point will likely limit me further.
There are lots of apps that can export messages to HTML and other formats, but after doing some searching I didn’t find any for markdown. I know SMS are mostly text but markdown is a plain text file format which support text formats like bullets, headings, and media (usually by referencing image, video, or audio files in the same folder or in a sub-folder). That would be nice for reading and searching through in apps like Obsidian.
Really only interested in something like Graphene, Lineage, or a Linux mobile tablet that can work with a typical Linux distro and display over USB-C. It is just a casual conversational ask. Maybe one of y'all has tried or knows the answer. I won't use anything that runs google stuff or is a pain to load a custom ROM.
I don't use Google account on most of my devices. I have an older phone on LineageOS 22.1 that I use mainly to test apps. It has GApps installed but I never sign in.
I have faced a couple apps that on startup are launching the PlayStore app and ask me to sign in, I guess for "security". Is there a way to bypass that ? I don't want to link my Google profile and would love to use this app offline like I should.
Because, we have here something called "Swiss Qr Bill" (standardized e-bill with Qr code) and some shops send you the bill via email. Would be nice, if i could just tap the qr-image and open with app.
Was doing multiple things at the time, so not sure about this—I think I restarted it but then it wouldn't start up again. Holding down the power button didn't help, nor did holding down the power button along with either the up or down volume for a few seconds. Plugging it in, it does make the "started charging" noise or whatever.
I use rsync normally but I want something similar for my Android (GrapheneOS) smartphone. I want to just click and backup everything that I set up earlier. For now I manually copy folders to one and then upload it to external drive. What are your recommendations?
Is there any solution to configure termux to use system default theme instead of what i setup using termux styling app?
Even a basic option to set different themes for different modes will help l, so that i can configure it to switch to zenburn when system is in Dark mode and Google light when in light mode.
Hackers Keyboard has that via ctrl+z, but only in horizontal mode. For this only i had my Galaxy S3 in horizontal per default. But can't do that with modern phones' aspect ratio and i'm missing undo since then.
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.
