What's doubly ironic (and evil, for that matter) is that FDroid apps are so much safer than Google Play apps. Open Source apps verified and compiled from source by a trusted repository is the gold standard.

Meanwhile, malware stealing all your personal info, apps lists, and contacts are rife on the Google Play store. I avoid it as much as I can.

I dunno why they didn't just ban unverified developers outright. This is effectively the same thing.

Wow. Talk about stupid. The verification flow is made in such a barbone manner and crude manner it will a pain in the ass. Custom Roms are the only way to sidestep this stupidity.

Since you did not link the keepandroidopen site. It's here: http://keepandroidopen.org/

A useful vibration is one you can feel, not hear from across the room.

That's what I said

If during that 24-hour wait period you don't set an alarm and remember to come back and turn it on, it eventually resets and you have to start the process over again.

they discontinued the privileged extension (root install) btw

my battery is not so good, not sure its Shizuku or age

Out of curiosity, have you noticed any effect on battery life to have shizuku running all the time?

I'm only using it for canta right now and I enable debugging and shizuku when needed.

Oh cheers, I was waiting for the roll out but just grabbed it. Very nice. A huge upgrade.

I really hated the outdated design. This is much nicer.

Updating from within F-droid still wants to install version 1.23.2 because they're rolling the new version out slowly, but you can select 2.0.0 manually.

Yeah. Shizuku enables the use of the Android Debugging Bridge internally to selectively enable root-like features, including one click installation outside of Google approved appstores

Yes it is. It uses the Debugging over TCP functionality to use adb. The adb shell is more powerful than the normal API and can install promptless.

You can have shizuku working without even plugging it into a PC

Is that even possible on a device with a locked bootloader? Its always gonna ask for confirmation when installing a new app.

Oh damn, Fdroid 2.0 does look pretty nice - even if I'll miss the iconically out-dated aesthetic. That said:

The official client is not the only way to access F-Droid apps, but now you’ll have less reason to seek out an alternative.

For me that reason is Shizuku. Droidify supports that and gives me what Fdroid cannot, one click frictionless app installation. Until the day Fdroid can do that, I have no reason to go back.

Cool but I've been using Droidify and before that FoxyDroid. Always good to have choices.

Use a music player that has a setting for it. I'm a poweramp fanboy

I just discovered it and it has been great!

Thanks for the tip of using a family group, that's very convenient and now I won't have to invite my wife to every single event I create. 🫶

You had the right idea - I was able to deselect the "family" calendar under each member. I was looking at the widget and account settings.

Thanks.

Use the menu in Google Calendar and deselect the kids’ calendars

I miss having a phone where vibrate was useful. I'd really prefer that over sounds.

My OG Droid would wake the dead.

😕

I shall do.

Surely this is a common side effect of the new family calendar feature!
