May I recommend OSS Document Scanner + Syncthing? Both apps are FOSS and it looks to me like that they might be able to replace what Microsoft Lens does for you with the advantage that you are free of Microsoft software.

Open Tracks allows exporting in either KMZ (default), KML or GPX format. Go to Settings, tap on “Import and Export” and there look, towards the end, for the entry “Export/sharing file format”.

Hey there, I’m sorry about this craziness. My comment was not really directed at you, but I was just quoting part of the original post that mentioned you.

I was trying to suggest that OP is confusing criticism of the GrapheneOS community with criticism of the OS. You make a good point and, as I pointed out, you were not criticising the OS, but the community. Not the same thing.

Even @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml gives it backlash despite being a moderator of Lemmy’s biggest privacy community. A quote here: “grapheneOS trolls are downvoting every single post and comment of mine, and committing vote manipulation on Lemmy. They are using 5-6 accounts.” That was in response to downvotes on a comment posted in the c/WorldNews community, which is entirely unrelated to technology.

It seems to me that you might be confusing things: You say that people hate the OS but share a comment complaining about the community of users/fans, not about the OS.

I have never used GrapheneOS and cannot comment on the OS, but I have seen some users in different communities commenting that GrapheneOS is the only valid alternative OS and discrediting any other OS. It becomes tiring pretty fast.

I know about Obtainium, thanks, but I prefer to avoid having several different sources for apps. Besides, F-Droid builds apps from source and checks for anti-features, so it’s a nice to have check that the app is not doing anything sketchy.

Proton Mail used to be available on IzzyOnDroid’s F-Droid repository but I can’t find it there anymore.

Will it come back? or even better, will it come to the official F-Droid repository?

MP3Tag sounds cool, but there’s no Linux version it seems :(

Also, is there any reason to switch to newpipe if ReVanced is serving me well?

I guess for most people not, but there can be some:

• privacy: NewPipe doesn’t require you to log on to a Google account (but it so connects to Google servers if you watch YouTube videos). You can, however still follow channels (only locally, obviously)
• ability to download videos or just audio. An extra is that on ReVanced you can have the download function through a 3rd party app, you can choose from several and NewPipe is one of them.
• NewPipe can also play content from other sources, like Bandcamp or SoundCloud.

A reason to not switch would be… the interface is not very ptetty

Thanks for the tip! There was also NewPipe with SponsorBlock but I can’t find it anymore. Do you know if they’re related?

But also on the main F-Droid repository. I can see both results when I search (see screenshot in my other reply).

I can. Have you tried updating the repository information in your app?

There’s tons to choose from, some that are also found in the Play Store (often with Google proprietary libraries or tracking removed). I would recommend:

• Aegis authenticator: for 2FA.
• Antenna Pod: for all your podcasts needs
• Aves Libre: beautiful gallery app which I personally prefer over the Fossify app that others recommended here (try both and decide for yourself).
• Binary Eye: QR code scanner.
• Gauguin: a Sudoku-like game, very entertaining.
• Heliboard: a great keyboard with support for multilingual typing and glide typing. Completely offline and private.
• KDE Connect: to wirelessly connect your phone with your computer, transfer files, share the clipboard, control your computer from your phone…
• KeePassDX (or Bitwarden): password manager. I personally prefer KeePassDX and dealing myself with syncing the database (via synching or KDE Connect), but some people prefer Bitwarden which offers online syncing.
• KISS (or Kvaesitso): simple search-based launchers. Kvaesitso has more options but also feels a bit heavier.
• Metro: music player for local files
• Moshidon: Mastodon client.
• Mull: web browser based on Firefox with hardened privacy (+uBlock Origin extension)
• NewPipe: to watch YouTube videos without ads.
• Organic Maps (or OsmAnd~): offline Maps based on OpenStreetMap. Break free from Google.
• Syncthing: to synchronise files between devices (Android, computer).
• Tasks.org: to-do’s.
• Transistor: listen to the radio. Many stations built-in, and you can add more if you have the streaming URL.
• Voyager: client for Lemmy.

I’m not sure, it might be possible. I am not the developer, just someone who wanted to guess why there is no option to disable those. You could open an issue in GitHub and ask for that option, the developers are quite active and responsive.

Heliboard does have a single hand layout, you can access it from the top toolbar (you might need to add this button in “Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys”) or by long pressing the comma. Then tap the hand icon.

Heliboard is now also on the official F-Droid repository, people can choose any source!

Wish you could see a preview when customizing the keyboard. Hard to do it blind

That’s a pretty good idea. You could check if there’s any issue about it in GitHub or open one, the app is under active development and I think this is something the developers would consider implementing.

I don’t think you can remove those buttons, because both of them give you access to more options:

• the numbers button changes they keyboard layout to give access not only to numbers but also to many symbols
• the comma button shows a pop up when long pressing for options like ”voice input, undo, redo, one handed mode, access settings…". These can be customised on the keyboard’s settings.

There is already a paste button, although not directly shown. I can access it in 3 different ways (but I have made some changes to the default settings, so it might not be exactly the same for you):

• on the toolbar on top of the keyboard (you need to extend it by tapping the > button on the top left). You can customise the buttons that show up here in “Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys”
• by long pressing the comma key (my favourite way), a pop up shows with several keys, among them the paste key.
• by long pressing the enter key

I think so too. You need a non-free library for glide typing, but with it it works like charm.

It’s a pity it doesn’t work for you right now, but I’d recommend to keep an eye on it since it’s under active development and you might see Japanese input added soon. You could also check open issues on GitHub or open a new one and give feedback about this need.
