Seeing people say "GrapheneOS fixes this!" "It's only on old versions of Android!"

Device Info HW app that can read my applications

Permissions requested (viewed in Google Play, lack of any "read applications" permission)

Permissions granted in settings app, still lacking any "read applications" permission

This is on a Pixel 8 Pro with the latest version of GrapheneOS. This is an issue and has been for a long time. Many apps detect root by looking for the Magisk package using this method, and many collect this information just for advertising (go ahead, export your Snapchat data)

Bitwarden has passkey support! Syncs too!

I've had my eye on this for a while, haven't dropped the dough on a PCB order

https://github.com/justLV/onju-voice

A hackable AI home assistant platform using the Google Nest Mini (2nd gen) form factor, consisting of:

a custom PCB designed to be a drop-in replacement to the original, using the ESP32-S3 for audio processing

a server for handling the transcription, response generation and Text-to-Speech from multiple devices on the same network

Spite mostly. I have small QoL improvements, but mostly because Google says I can't do what I want with my device.

Specific reasons:

  • AdAway - ad blocking, can't live without
  • SnapEnhance - ad blocking & other tweaks to make SC more usable
  • Revanced (w/o microgapps) - YouTube mod w/ sponsorblock & returned dislikes
  • PixelExpert - misc UI tweaks like separate WiFi & mobile data tiles, as well as a 3 wide qs panel
  • SmartSpacer - Custom complications on my at a glance screen. Can do useful things like show me my gas rewards card when in range of a gas stations WiFi, notifications for missed calls, texts, and emails that I might have dismissed from my tray
  • MACsposed - let's me spoof my MAC address. Used it to snag free WiFi on planes
  • Swift Backup - backs my phone up to my server every night
  • GAppsMod - enable call recording & other features on Google dialer & messages
  • DarkTricks - additional misc toggles, some overlap with PixelExpert but occasionally has better implementations (power button flashlight, volume keys to skip tracks, etc)

No longer working:

  • Xposed edge pro - let you bind a bunch of gestures to different actions or fly outs from any screen. Hasn't been functional in Android 14 and it seems like the dev has dipped. I genuinely miss having an app fly out (but not enough to buy a Samsung)

...if we ripped up all the concrete and buildings to replant a forest...

You say this like it's a downside, we'd better get started!

The fact that it even supports vulkan, and BattleEye has a Linux version, they just don't use it

Gamers: We've removed you DRM and gotten better performance, your DRM is obviously causing a hit

Denuvo: Nuh uh

Like seriously we're not gonna find out? The fact that the DRM has been bypassed means it's useless anyway. All it does it hurt paying customers
