Many "library" apps have a brightness setting.
I have my brightness controlled with macrodroid.
As Mark said, though, if you haven't enabled a third party app to control it, you may have issues.

And please take the time to read and fully understand what the EFF has to say - it's vital, especially to people in repressive regimes and those with less than honest intentions (Now I wonder who in the USA I might be thinking of?)

Hey there, is there a decent golf game that you can player solo? (against yourself)

Would also like it to be in portrait mode.

Thanks in advance

I created a channel for your app. Good luck!!

That's nowhere near a record. My Chemistry teacher could poput a couple of longish sentences between the infinitive and its associated verb.

Thank you for replying. Sending a predefined text to most recent caller is a small component of the app I am developing; therefore, I would like to avoid using another application to satisfy this feature. Is it possible to prompt the user to send a predefined text to most recent caller using an Intent or something like it. Is there a library in Java that may allow for this type of functionality? The closest desired feature I have been able to find is the use of Intents (https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common.html#Messaging). The only problem is that using an Intent to send text opens the users default texting application with the contacts most recently texted displayed. I am trying to allow the user to send a text to the contact that has most recently called.

also keep in mind that not all apps can be moved to the sd card. and moving apps to the sd card does not do what you think it does. it only moves the part of the app that needs to store data. the actual app will still be stored internally.....so only portions of the app will be on the sd card and not the whole thing.

the 2nd article that @MrJavi suggested will show you how to format the sd card as internal storage. this will basically mean that any kind of storage will now be saved on to the sd card. there is no more external storage even though you have the sd card. it will not be a separate thing anymore.....so keep that in mind.

Thank you for further details.

I also found out that Android 10 now can be like Widows. You can open multiple apps at the same time in what they call "Pop-ups"

This is Chrome and my calendar on my home screen. Both work.

Hey guys, I already posted about this game but I need your help so I'm posting again.

*I have 39 downloads right now, please make it reach 50* It will be really appreciated.

Link :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SoloDevStudio.FlipperBird

Special features :-
3 difficulty modes.
Easy :- just like the normal flappy bird.
Medium :- pipes(obstacles) will be rotated Randomly.
Hard :- pipes will be rotated and some will move up and down.

Ps. Please review if you can, and let me know if there's anything I should add or fix.

Screenshots :-

I dumped Chrome almost immediately.

Right from the start, I found it annoying in many ways, and that was before I even knew what being annoyed with aspects of Android really was.

So, I went with FireFox at first, becuse that is what everyone does, right?

But the thing is so slow. Like molassass in Alaska slow. Did I mention how slow it was? I swore I saw an old lady with a walker lap the block while I was checking the weather.

Then there was Brave. I adore cats, so the icon looked awesome on my pathetic device.
It seemed ok. But that was right at their beginnings. The app was very new.

After a while and some more learning on my part, I discovered some things I did not like about Brave.
The size of the app. The ads. Yes, they can be turned off- they still exist. The other offers, and things I don't remember (it has been a few years).
Then I scanned Brave with Add-Ons Detector. This app tells you what things are lurking inside each of your apps (ever wonder why I despise Google so much?).

Turns out that Brave has one of the most dangerous permissions allowed on Android: ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD FILES WITHOUT PERMISSION.

This is just as nefarious as it seems upon first reading- the app can literally download files from the internet without your permission, or even telling you about it.

When I asked them why this is a part of their app, the answer was basically a word salad that was not very satisfying.

Yeah, so I dropped that b**** off at the curb.
I threw that cat's litterbox right out with it.

The answer to my prayers for a better browser were soon answered upon my discovery of Lightning.
Yes, I go on and on about this browser, but I really have made some converts- all they have to do is try it and see.

The UI is eye pleasing (in dark or amoled mode), unlike any of the other listed apps (without ad-ons, which slow browsers down) and mentally ergonomic. Swipe right for your tabs, and swipe right for your bookmarks.

The privacy that is built in is pretty hard to beat (you just need to USE it).

The speed is phenominal. Second to none.
Lightning uses the Android System Webview that is built into every Android device. Browsers that are bloated in size are often using their own webview. Why do I want two?

There is a built in ad-blocker.

The cookies, cache, and web storagecan all be set to clear upon the closing of the app.

Unlimited tabs, unlimited bookmarks.

And then there is the way that you can have any homepage that you want, and the choice of any search engine.

Sure, it looks pretty plain and unexciting when you first start it up, but remember that it is designed to be customized by the user.

I could call them, I'm sure this is all they do though. It's the low income government program, they just give you like 500 minutes a month. I don't think they have a good network. Samsung S8 would be good it's just expensive as hell used which doesn't seem worth it. I don't know I'm going to call them tomorrow.

The thing is that there's nothing on that list more recent than 2017(*), and the Nexus 5 is a 2013 handset. That's what makes me suspicious that they've just not updated their list.

I don't understand why they'd restrict phone selection anyway. OK, if they are selling the phone then they sell what they want, but if it's BYOD, which from what you say sounds like the case, why do they care? It all seems very strange to me.

(*) Except possibly the Orbic Wonder, which is certainly no newer than 2018 but I can't find a release date for. That would have been a low-spec budget phone even then though.

Done all the proxy settings at gradle file but sync is failing. Is there any clues how to handle this issue or what setting changes to be done at firewall level. We are using ForcePoint.

Hello everyone I'm new here and my name is Maxim,

I will describe my issue and if anyone has ideas of what to do next to fix it, it will be much appreciated.
I have Toyota CH-R 2019 and 9" infotainment system inside, It comes without android auto nor apple carplay.
BUT part of options was to install into that empty old system an android system (5.1.1) which uses the second speaker (not the main speakers but a small one under the wheel) to give navigation sound when using apps like google maps.
I manged to get to the android settings and change the lanucher and install many apps that I like like youtube music, youtube & more.
The issue
When playing music in youtube it plays through the speaker under the wheel and it's baseless and feels old. I need to manage somehow to connect to the car's main speaker system (bluetooth) and then play the music and it should play the music (through bluetooth) the issue is that when I put my main system (not android system) to bluetooth pairing mode and then switiching to the android system it closes the settings and I cannot find the car's bluetooth ID in android bluetooth pairing search. I tried to do this process faster and managed to semi-connect, the next issue is confirming that the password showing is correct (In android). I am stuck here and didn't manage to go past this step, If anyone has any idea of app that can do this connection automatiaclly or something else please tell me, it will make me very happy.

The phone is a LG Aristo 4 +, model LM-X320MA. Android version 9. It has a lot of new bells and whistles.

Is this phone rootable? If so what app will work with it? I have rooted a few phones and tables in the past. I know Windows very well and I am learning Android. I am a hands on type of learner. I have a ZTE Android tablet to experiment on. If that get's messed up, no great lose.

as far as i can tell no...there is no root available yet. a lot of lg phones from what i can see are hard to root mainly because some of the phone's bootloaders are locked.

always do your research first on xda. xda is a developers forum. i only root a phone if there is a community to support the phone.no devs=no fun. if there is a way to root but there is no developers to support the phone, then you do not get the benefit of trying custom roms and kernels. i also will not root a device if there is no custom recovery which is what your phone has....no custom recovery. recovery is the most important tool you will need if you are rooted. if you had a recovery you can make nandroid backups. when you have a backup, you can then start messing around by changing or deleting system apps. if you delete something or something goes wrong, you have a nandroid backup to fall back on. not having a backup and screwing with the os could brick the phone.

Kann mir jemand helfen helfen, ich habe zur Zeit ein alSamsung s4 mini mit Android 4.4.2 und irgendwie läuft keine mein Vodafone app bei mir?

What you need to do, if you really want to use it, is to use a small, fast browser to watch Youtube.

You mentioned light browsing anyway.

Save Youtube as a bookmark, so that it is right at your fingertips.

If you don't want to have to log in each time, don't set it to erase cookies.

The next step is to go into the app settings and disable any bloatware that you can.

This won't increase the useable memory, but it will free up some RAM if those apps run a lot.
Androids of that era didn't manage apps as well as modern OS.

So, if it has Amazon as an app, and it runs constantly, then it is better to disable it.

You can always use the browser to get to Amazon.

This works for Facebook, Gab, and many other apps that also have websites.

The browser that I normally recommend will likely work on that OS. If not, scroll through the different versions available until you find one compatible with your device. The lowest OS that it will run on is listed in the description.

If needed, you can download it with a different device, then transfer it via bluetooth or other method to the old device.

When you try to install it, there will be 'end of the world' warnings.

I have used this browser for years, and my phones have never self destructed, lol, so follow the instructions and install it.

Stay away from Chrome (disable if possible) or any other bloated browser.

You are attempting to use a very limited device by today's standards, and you are trying to use it on today's internet.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/acr.browser.lightning/

If you like it, and want it to be a bit more secure and easy on the eyes, there are many settings available.

The built in ad-blocker is a nice touch.

Also, I am available to answer questions about it.

You could try downloading and installing another Contacts app.

That app could/should discover any contacts and then you can use it to export the contacts into a file.

Then use the original Contacts app to import this contacts file.

This is strange, because I have been using Dingtone for years.

Are you using it while connected to Wi-Fi, or are you using cellular data?

The app requires one of these in order to work.

Guys, any luck with this? I got the same problem!!

Sorry folks didnt mean to offend any one here. I come in peace.
These are difficult times for every one, lets wait it out together.

To fill in a couple of details on what Hadron mentioned, I think for your device you will name the file: 0PM9IMG.zip

The simple version of how to extract the zip from the RUU is to:
Run the RUU
Then browse to the temp folder (start>run>%temp%)
Search for "rom"
Copy/paste rom.zip to your desktop or wherever
Rename to 0PM9IMG.zip
Place on the root of your ad card
Reboot to bootloader

You'll have to confirm the update by hitting a volume button. This is where you might have a problem. Your options are pretty limited when you can't use commands or use physical buttons on the phone.

I created a channel for your game. Best of luck.
