Help Can I install an app without a carrier?

I posted a link for NewPipe, which is to be used for Youtube.

Once you download F-Droid, you must find the downloaded file and tap on it.

There will be a "scary warning" pop-up, which is Google's last attempt at keeping you on their plantation.

Install the app, then open it.
There is a set-up time when the app is new.
Literally thousands of apps are available on F-Droid.

After the initial set-up, it works like many other app stores in that you type in info and apps that 'match' come up.
Searching manually by category is also available.

Lightning is an excellent browser, but NewPipe is the way to go for Youtube.
Use Lightning for your other browsing needs.

Themes Splash screen not working on Android 5

Hi all!

I'm developing an App.
Since the App should load many data at start, I decided to add a splash screen.
I followed the instruction on https://medium.com/android-news/the-complete-android-splash-screen-guide-c7db82bce565 (first choice).
The splash screen works perfect on my mobile phone (Android 7) and a test phone (Android 6), but not on my Tablet (Android 5).
In that case it just will display a black screen until the App finished the initialisation.
No errors are logged.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
Luca

Help How to open Memos files (.smm) on PC or on Mac?

Seems the samsung memo is tremendous problem, that effects many users of samsung.
I have been searching for very long time.
I spend over 3 hours with samsung support without any solution.
They suggested to use samsung flow. (BTW: the agent was not capable of using it).
The way they suggestede is to copy a memo on phone then paste into flow and from pc pick it up and save it. quite silly.
the problem with it is that it will not copy pictures nor the tile.
Then try to do that for over 2000 memos.

If you try to share momo from phone to some messanger, and the memo has a photo, it will only share the photo.
Ichoose way of selecting all then copy and paste to messenger like line which is more flexible, but I am not going to do that for all. I am still in search of solution.

The smart switch saves in the memo.nmmm which can be opened by 7zip, but then trying renaming the bk file to sbak so the notes for windows to open it fails,
The samsung becomes too bing , profit oriented like apple.

I have been using samsung products for over 20 years,. That is enough for me, my next phone wont be samsung .
If i find a solution i will post here

MUSICVIDEO HELP

I sometimes do things like that when putting together short lesson videos for my classes, which includes song videos with lyrics. But I'm using iMovie on a MacBook Air to do it. As for Windows, I know a couple of teachers who are using Filmora for their videos, which is a pretty competent video creation and editing suite.

This is not something I would even consider doing on a phone, mainly because the screen is too small.

Thank you so much for your input. I shall take a look on FILMORA on Windows. Well I guess it's not perfect on small devices as phone and pads

Help Accessibility Icon stuck on in Android 12

Upgraded my PIXEL 4XL to Android 12 last evening. On startup it automatically created the new Accessibility Switch Icon on my screen. Weird, as I do not/have not used any of the accessibility features. Even more strange it choose to use the icon associated to my ROBOFORM app.

So the ROBOFORM icon is on every screen. If I click on it is does nothing. I can move it about, I can fade it when not in use. However it will not go away. I've Googled the problem, it tells me how to turn off this switch. It is off. I'm guessing its an Android 12 bug. Anyone else have this problem? TIA
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Menu, turn off the Accessibility Menu shortcut.
On the Accessibility menu look for your Roboform, tap it to enter it, turn off the shortcut.
