Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative? (programming.dev)

I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

No, I don't have markup installed (it is there in apps but not installed from the mirror).

I think in my case the screenshot functionality is built into AOSP and the editor you get when tapping the resulting preview overlay in the lower left corner of the screen is part of the "gallery" app since using the "edit" feature from gallery launches the same editor. Maybe GrapheneOS just sets that as the default editor, I'm not sure.

Which gallery are you using? fossify?

[–] mranderson17@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

AOSP gallery that comes with GrapheneOS. The app info says it's called com.android.gallery3d. There's some info here in the docs about the relationship between camera, edit functions, and the gallery app.

Thx.

It currently opens an external editor activity for the edit action.

I don't have a dedicated gallery app or editor installed. I can't find anything in apps either besides markup. Maybe my installation is too old.
