Can we finally make the Android apps wiki worth looking at by adding as many /g/ approved apps as possible?

Holy fuck, thank you. Especially since you're not just dropping them here, but also writing a small description for each and every one. Mind you, do you know how much of those are available on F-Droid?

Also, this one is not an app itself, but you should probably add Raccoon somewhere in there. It allows you to download apks from the Play Store from your own account to your own computer. A godsend for people who avoid GAPPS, but want to continue using modern apps that are not on F-Droid. Aptoide and APKPure are simply not that trustworthy in my opinion (although they do make downloading apps on the fly possible).

LeafPic has quite a ways to go. I'm not sure if this is a problem because I'm running CM, but try zooming in on a picture (using a double tap). Then, tap once to bring up the banner thing - the picture is no longer zoomed! This does not happen with the stock gallery or other gallery apps I've tried. Not to mention that rotation isn't implemented yet.
It's nice, but it feels "heavy" for some reason. I wonder how the QuickPic guy did it - his app ran great even on older phones.

>>57235554
Jesus, I knew F-Droid had a lot of apps, but not that many, and especially not that many "everyday" ones. I'd thought they had mostly technological stuff.

Lets you link applications to a secondary ext2/ext4 partition on your SD card, to free up space. Also let's you mount folders, and has a ton of other features. (Even a screen recorder)

I had to modify my boot.img to set selinux to permissive on boot to get the mount script to work. The dev helped me with that and he's very responsive.

>>57243446

>>57243459
Only reason I ask is because I can't seem to get any music app I download to work on the lockscreen. I think it has something to do with EMUI 4.0.

I can't figure it out at all. The music app that came with it works fine as well as google play music. But I can't get anything else to show up on my lockscreen.

Did your manufacturer fuck something up in the ROM or something?
>https://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

>>57251827
Whoa there, slow down kid. There's nothing wrong with running KitKat.
Besides, Google artificially bumped up the version number - there were four 4.x releases, three of them that were named (ICS, Jelly Bean, Kitkat). Starting with Lollipop, they quickly ran through version numbers (5.0 and 5.1), Marshmallow (6.0), and now Nougat has (7.0 and 7.1). Marshmallow could've been a 5.2, and Nougat 5.3 and 5.4. Every new large Android iteration had a major UI change - something which didn't happen with MM and Nougat.
They're doing this to attract the iPhone crowd, and you look like you probably just switched.
>he's running 4.4!!?
>wtfffff
>>
>>57251960
>Did your manufacturer fuck something up in the ROM or something?

It's AC3 and ADTS android does not support, people commonly mistake that for AAC.
>>
>>57251960
android 3 has the same holo shit
in N, the UI changed a lot. It may look the same to your autistic eyes but it actually negates some of earlier iteration`s choices.
Also still, running version 4.4.4 is NOT ok in current year.
>>
>>57251960
>Did your manufacturer fuck something up in the ROM or something?
Probably yes, it's a cheap Samsung from Galaxy J series. That shit doesn't even play webms on default player, when you try to play it the screen goes "rainbow" and crashes the phone for like 10sec. Thanks god it's just a throw away phone.
>>
>>57251995
I think he is right, you just switched from an iphone didn't you.
Literally nothing wrong with 4.4.4
>>
>>57251946
>what is holo light
>>
>>57252040
almost no apps used it :(
>>57252037
I actually switched to iPhone recently. Android fucking blows. 4.4 is ancient, dalvik sucks and so does the old design; with Lollipop and N they kinda got on the level to compete with iPhone.
>>
>>57251995
Android 3 was pretty much a beta test, a playground for Duarte to play in. It was a tablet-only version, as well.

Also, I haven't experienced Nougat for myself, but it more or less looks like MM. Yes, it's a tad more content-dense, there is more flatness, and it generally looks more "elaborate", but it's still the same Material.

Also, there's nothing wrong with running older versions (besides potential security issues). Why is it not "OK"?.

>>57252040
The most beautiful thing to come out of Android.
>>
>>57252101
So; 7 is a beta test too it seems. Or 5-6.
And while it still uses Material design, it`s very different. Even the feel is different.
And there IS something wrong:
1. outdated software is bad
2. if android users were less poor almost no app would still support a 4 year old OS version
3. new features are cool
>>
>>57252100
>almost no apps used it :(

Because it's a system wide setting and most apps respect it. And those who don't (ie link to holo dark explicitly, instead of default), could be forced to - by swapping the system holo.dark theme for light one.

Some chink phones actually do that, for example lenovo tablets.

is there anything like Activation Lock for android to keep Tyrones from ever using my sheeeit? I know that after 10 bad password inputs the phone wipes itself, but that isn't very good if a thief still gets use out of my phone.
>>
>>57252312
Fuck that. Install remotedroid fuck with tyrone instead. Don't forget to rename it to something innoncent looking, so tyrone has no idea.
>>
>>57252343
yea but doesn't remotedroid go out the window when they factory reset? Apple activation lock bricks the phone, no wipes allowed
>>
>>57252143
You're taking my words out of context. 3 was frankly, unpolished garbage. Google was too shy to even release the source code. the majority of Android users haven't ever played around with it, or hell, they aren't even aware of its' existence. It truly was a beta product, destined to be used by few.
That was not the case with Lollipop. Yes, it had tons of bugs, but it was aimed for the whole mobile market instead of a ridiculously tiny part of the market (tablets at the time). It was a lot more polished.

Also, involving the design leap - one could say LP and MM were like 2.0, 2.2, and Nougat was like 2.3. A lot more stylish, and headed in the right direction. Damn, I loved Gingerbread.


Anyway, addressing your points
1. For security, that is. I (speaking for myself only) have no problem with missing out on modern "features" if the OS I'm running runs just fine
2. "if android users were less poor almost no app would still support a 4 year old OS version". Failing to upgrade argument?
3. Awfully shallow of you. I agree, things like Doze are pretty nice, but Now On Tap? I could (and I do) live without that.

Just FYI, I'm running the official CM 13 (nightlies), with no GAPPS. I get frequent security updates, and without proprietary google bits in my system partition with control over my whole phone, it's even more secure of a phone. I do run a couple of select proprietary applications, though - if I cared enough about F(L)OSS I would be running Replicant, or not using a smartphone at all.

Have a good one, I gotta go now.

The built in API supports Opus how fucking retarded are Blackplayer devs
>>57252396
You can flash cerberus in the system partition, so it won't go with factory resets
There's other stuff like Samsung's Odin but seriously fuck that
>>
>>57256382
Please make an app that uses the libopus. I want to see how easy it is.
>>
>>57257024
You don't need libopus senpai, it's much simplier than that
The built in API in Android supports Opus since 5.1 iirc, it's up to devs enabling support for it in their apps
>>
There's no such thing as enabling support for opus. You have it or you don't. Conditionally trying to play opus media based on the device's Android version is not something that any developer wants to maintain.

Also opus is only supported in the mkv container as far as I can tell.
>>
>>57257476
>Conditionally trying to play opus media based on the device's Android version is not something that any developer wants to maintain
Every dev maintains app features tied to the Android SDK that they target, and the minimum they target
Unless you're pajeet and can't even use the simple SDK and only support a fixed level of it
>>
>>57257502
Holy fuck you're retarded. Target SDK is much different from checking the device's SDK version. Unless you think the minsdk should be 5.0 in which case you're even more retarded than I previously thought.

Please stop commenting on things you don't know about. I'm glad you built a hello world app but that doesn't make you an expert.
>>
>>57257595
Then you're pajeet, got it senpai
Must be nice to just use gingerbread API's and have no problems with anything at all, your fizzbuzz app must be pretty sick bro
>>
>>57257620
Show me an app with minsdk of 21 and I'll show you an app less users than it could have. The industry standard is minsdk of 16. But you got to call someone a pajeet so that's pretty cool. You're still fucking retarded but your goals don't have to be as high as mine.
>>
>>57257654
You can easily use sdk 21 API's while maintaining minsdk 16 Pajeet
>>
>>57257675
As soon as I think you can't get more retarded you go and outdo yourself. Setting a target API of 21 doesn't magically make opus support work. Google has support libraries but they don't give you access to more codecs.
>>
>>57257740
>Setting a target API of 21 doesn't magically make opus support work
Yeah, it doesn't, but it's not hard to make it work
>Google has support libraries but they don't give you access to more codecs.
They literally do senpai
>>
>>57257819
Using opus requires implementing your own jni for libopus. You don't know that because you're another pseudotechfag on /g/.

You could have used Google to look up what the support libraries can and can't do but you failed at that too.

Surprised that the F-Droid apps guy didn't mention Open Camera. It's a fucking lifesaver if your CM builds ship with that extremely simple camera app that can't take photos for shit (it didn't even have an opinion to change the white balance settings and the ISO, damn)

Do yourself a favour and get it. Your photos' quality won't become as good as the ones on the stock ROM, but it will get pretty close.
