Ayyy

If I’m alone I tend to walk in circles inside for like 0.5-1 hour or more thinking about stuff (with or without music). It’s soothing😌

I also pace when waiting bus etc.

(Even when I sit I pace some times.🫣 Leg goes up and down.)

Insular (the degoogled open source version of Island) has a page comparing Island, Shelter and Insular

https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/faq.html

I don’t know if its updated, but you can pick the ones that fits your needs.

I picked Island because I thought I may have issues with my notifications if I had chosen Insular. (Plus, there was this bug I was talking about and thought that it would fix it. Installing Island wasnt the solution, but I had already spent a lot of time/days setting up my phone multiple times and didnt want to try it again, with the possibility of problematic notifications.)

Those “root checks” are a joke. ~Nobody raises a brow if you are an admin user with root privilages on windows, (desktop) linux or macos. But it’s such a huuuge deal when you manage to actually own and use your own mobile device the way you want by breaking free from what they impose on you, ugh…

Any app that doesnt work when you have root access ~shouldn’t be used at first place…

Lsposed is a magisk/ksu module that has its own modules too. Like a manager insude a manager giving you even more options.

I would like to help you with various stuff and customizations but I just don’t have enough time to explain them all.😅

I’m just gonna list stuff you may find useful:

Apatch (root and magisk/kernel modules manager)

Mrepo (magisk modules manager)

Shizuku

Color blender (to tweak metarial you colors)

Droidify (fdroid alternative)

Aurora store (play store alterantive)

Total commander (closed source root file manager)

Canta (used to uninstall system apps, I just use it to see the descriptions of various apps and disable them)

Florisboard beta (I have made a very good copy of gboard with that, I can send you the files if you want)

Smartpack manager (info about the phone and more)

Appmanager (various detailed info about apps)

Hidden settings (settings your rom may not show, closed source)

Island (for dual apps)

Neobackup (root backups, has issues with work profile)

Databackup (root backups, I use it to backup work profile apps)

Sai (installer)

Roundsync (uses rsync or rclone I think)

PrimitiveFTP (to send/recieve files with ftp connections)

DroidFS (to encrypt files)

DiskUsage (to visalise storage usage)

Db viewer (to view databases of apps, closed source)

Termux (temrinal for android, too advanced for me)

UsageDirect (logs app usage)

Motionamate (logs steps)

Neutrinote ce (notes)

Fossify apps (gallery, sms, calendar etc.)

Librera (pdf, epub etc viewer)

Moneywallet (expense/income tracker)

Magisk modules:

• Adb and fastboot for android ndk

• Advanced charging controller

• Busybox for android ndk

• Lsposed-mod (maintained version of lsposed manager, after the original went archived)

• Zygisk mod

Lsposed modules/apps:

• Lucky patcher (hacking apps if you want to)

• Free notificiations to manage notifications

• Matrix rain (fancy effect with matrix background in notification shade)

• messengerEX (to disable adds in messenger app, in case you use it)

And many many more stuff

I was setting up my phone for about two weeks some months ago (the was a bug with xiaomi and work profile)😅

Oh oke oke. I had issues with magisk a few months before I switch. I think there were incompatibility issues between magisk and lsposed manager, so I did a full reset, I upgraded the rom (from a beta version from November 2021 of the rom xiaomi.eu miui 12.6/android 11, I went to xiaomi.eu hyperOS/android13) and installed apatch so that I dont have incompatibikity issues (plus, it hides root much better).

I think the new “safetynet” is “Play integrity”. I think you need playstore installed and activated to pass the test though.

At least, it seems like many apps are ok with passing only safetynet though, so probably not a big issue yet.

I think it may be based on ksu, but also uses superkeys with passwords or something. I don’t know much about its security, you may want to check the issues tab on github or generally the project itself.

Have you tried apatch as an alternative to magisk?

It ~combines rhe advantages of magisk and kernelsu

Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I’ve seen in all the countries the last years)??

Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico

Congratulations Mexico!

Edit: Well, hmm:

Just wanna jump in here and recommend Quodlibet. It handles tags very well.

Hahaha, I ~just came after a search using g**gle due to ddgo being down, I noticed the “web” search is no longer the default (as it was discussed some days ago here).

Google seems to have a huge grip on people and they don’t seem to notice (or act against) the terrible services of google search…

Well, can’t argue much with that. It’s a shame it crashes often… I might check kdenlive some time though.

video editing: davinci

Btw, there’s olive editor 0.2. It’s kinda unstable, but much better interface than davinci. Plus, it’s open source.

Palaye Royale

Yayy thats cool. Check out

• NF (rapper) - Clouds/Search/Hope

• Jhariah - Pressure Bomb 3???/Bad luck!/Knvives are dangerous, so kid cut the theatrics

I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.

Have fun exploring!

If you set it up properly (like using apps to sync folders) a big enough sd is like local “cloud” service.

I was thinking about it recently, after my phone data were very close to being deleted (I managed to prevent it eventually), I was angry at how not having an sd slot caused me so many issues. If I had a 1tb sd I would just autosync app backups and files to my card and not worry ~at all about losing data from bootloops etc.

Ah, rip, that may be an issue😆

Haven’t tried Alovoa, but think of it differently; if someone is on Alovoa, they maybe are more similar-minded to you, because they too probably like open source stuff.

There was a post recently about people’s favourite open source games and it’s been a nice repository of games for me :)

I dont know, but if you also use it to plug in earphones you may double the use.

Im using my type c port phone for about 3.5years so far (I rarely plug headphones in it though) and the port seems ok.

But either way, this extra wear down is simply another negative aspect of this move and I think so far the disanvantages outweigh the advantages (also I think it’s just so that they can sell their wireless earphones and on a lower degree support planned obsolesence).

As Louis Rossmann also said, using a single port for both charging/moving data and listening music increases the wear on the port. They’re just made to wear down faster with the absence of the audio jack port.

Plus it’s impractical, as it occupies the type c port.

I spent about 2-3hours today tinkering with mp3tag and trying music players like quod libet…
