Can one also recognize Calendar status types other than available?

Well, I can only reiterate that on my system (Samsung Galaxy Note 9 / Android 10) the BusinessCalendar app (v2.37.9) offers the same "Show me as" values that I know from Outlook, i.e. "Available", "Tentative", "Busy" and "Out of Office". And it not only displays those values on entries synced over from my laptop but I can also select these when creating a new appointment on the phone.
And I definitely do NOT sync via Google but directly with an Exchange server. Syncing contacts or calendar data with Google is a no-go for me!

Anyone know of a turn-by-turn navigation SDK that can calculate a route with thousands of waypoints

I need a turn-by-turn navigation SDK for Android that can take thousands of points. I have vehicles that need to go on routes and hit thousands of points because they have to go into many residential areas and reach the end of each road they're meant to reach. The idea is that the route is driven by one driver, then the route that has now been mapped is driven by another driver. I was using HERE Android SDK but there's a "safe upper limit" of 128 waypoints that can be passed in. I've looked up others and the ones I've found are worse. TomTom has a limit of 50, MapBox 25.

One route might have 10,000 waypoints. Initially I tried dividing the routes into 128 waypoint routes but this isn't practical because the waypoint after the 128th is calculated while the route is being driven, which is dangerous depending on where the driver is. What options are out there for this?

Help Note 3, want to try alternate OS, like Lineage

I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-900T that I bought used about 5-7 years ago (I forget exactly when) and I am interested in replacing the Google Android with something else. It currently has Android 4.4.2, kernel version3.4.0-660648, Build Number KOT49H.N900T_4.4.2_0055. The phone is rooted and has a replacement motherboard that I believe is not from the US. That happened because the seller (local) lied to me and suddenly T-Mobile one day shut it down. I sent it to a fellow across the country who replaced the motherboard and rooted it for me. I am currently using it with MetroPCS. (Not because of anger at T-Mobile; I switched just for the lower price - it is, after all part of T-Mobile.)

My motivation is that the phone is a bit messed up because of things that I did to the OS. A couple years ago I started getting Google popups - "Did you know that you can buy ..." I can't stand things like that so I poked around and finally managed to shut down my Google account. That solved the problem, but a few days later the icon for the Play Store disappeared. And I also removed the texting capability because I hate texts and the only texts I ever got were from T-Mobile explaining what a clever fellow I was to be T-Mobile customer. Hey, I'm an old man; I'm entitled to be an out of date curmudgeon. :)

Of course, now I can't install new apps or even update existing ones. Recently my bank came out with a new app and the old one now says that I must upgrade the OS, and then shuts down. Ditto for the app for Kaiser Permanente (Health Maintenance Organization).

I have spent several hours on my real computer searching for OS options for the Note 3, but I'm not coming up with much. Does anyone have any suggestions? Oh, and I've installed Linux many times on computers, but I've never tried installing an OS on a phone. Do I assume correctly that whatever OS I download will come with detailed 'for dummies' instructions?
You Can try the dot os and viper os

Help Standalone messenger app

Just to add to what @Hadron posted, that 'the standalone messenger app' you referenced to is a little too vague and could apply to any one of dozens of text messenger apps.
It might help if you stated just which text messenger app she was using previously, along with which carrier she uses. Both could be very relevant to this matter.
Just offhand, if that 'the standalone messenger app' is referring to the stock messenger app that was on her phone, the odds are not very good to be able to restore old, deleted text messages and history. But again, providing more specific details rather than generic ones can make a difference.

Outgoing call notifcation

Don't know if you have found a solution, and I don't have one, but thought I would add this. My G6 doesn't show this summary screen after an outgoing call. When the call is done it returns to whatever screen generated the call - dial pad, contacts, etc. Of course, that screen still has to be cleared so it would not solve your issue even if I knew why mine was different. Maybe it's carrier related...

How to find and delete clipboard files in Android

This is correct (I presume that the locked file will also get trashed).

I have never reset a device yet, having always been able to figure out some sort of remedy.

There are folks here that do it routinely in a position such as yours.

What I can tell you is to back up everything on the device first.

When you put your apps back onto the device, I believe that the data will be gone.

I am not sure if there is a way to save such items.

Personally, if I ever needed to actually do a total reset, I would ask some of the guys/gals here that do it often enough to know so much more about it than me.

Can you find a clipboard app within the app information page inside app settings?

It would be in the system apps.

If you could find that, and then delete all data from it, that may solve the issue.

WhatsApp problems

Notification badges are a feature of the "launcher", which is the app that produces the desktops and app drawer. Recent Android versions include "notification badge" support that basically shows when you have a notification, and which many manufacturers use in their launchers. With this you cannot do what you want, since if you swipe the notification away (or turn it off) the badge disappears.

You may be able to do it using a different launcher. Nova launcher used to have its own add-on for notification badges, called TeslaUnread. That is no longer available in the Play Store but is still supported if you have it, so if you can find it at apkmirror.com (a safe app download site) you should still be able to use it. For this you need to use Nova launcher, and you need to choose TeslaUnread in Nova's settings as the provider for notification badges/unread counts, but with TeslaUnread the badges remain after notifications are swiped away. I've not tried turning notifications off for an app and seeing whether it still works, but it might.

On the other question, nothing actually downloads into the Gallery. The Gallery is an app that can display images stored in different places on the phone, but doesn't actually store any of the images itself. WhatsApp stores its media in its own directory, so what you are really asking is how you can stop the Gallery from showing these as well. The answer to that will be to look in the Gallery app's settings. If the Gallery app doesn't let you control what folders it will display (it is a Samsung app and I don't have a Samsung, so don't know its settings) your options are to ignore it or use a different gallery app which does what you want.

This is one of my key principles with Android: if the built-in app doesn't do what you want, there will be alternatives. You don't have to put up with an app that doesn't meet your needs just because that is the one the manufacturer included.

Incidentally I assume "inky" was an autocorrect error (mistype "only" as "inly" and the autocorrect algorithm favours the first letter and so changes the third).

Stock Device Care unreliable.

I have to admit that I never have problems that require cache clearing. My current device isn't short of space anyway, but my previous phone and my tablet have much less and yet I still never had to, for example, clear Play Store or Play Services caches to make them function. So I don't know why my experience is so different.

(I can't comment on Chrome as I don't use it on any platform).
