I read somewhere that the devs of Nova Launcher sold it to a shady company, that will now probably spy and use the privileges this kind of app have to mine our data, so I want to get rid of it, without losing the comfort it has.

Please could you recommend alternatives to Nova but safe to use (respect our privacy)?

- Fast

- Nice customizations (grid sizes, icon size, folder appearances, theme icon support)

- Private / Hidden folders. If possible (but is not a must) password-protected folders.

- If possible, FOSS so I can download from F-Droid and be sure it has no anti-features

Hey, I am looking for an app that can remove bg from my video footage that isn't shot in green screen.

If there is please help me with it

I love the app and All the customization abilities, but it keeps deleting my custom home screens , so I'm wondering if theres any similar launchers like it with All the customization stuff, all I can find is those minimalist ugly launchers

Hi guys, I'm looking for an app that can automatically block or silence notifications from my WhatsApp and messages between 6 PM and 9 AM every day. I prefer to not bring work to my home.

Ideally, it should let me customize which apps' notifications are blocked, rather than applying a blanket DND mode. FOSS or open-source apps are preferred, and I'm fine with apps that require Shizuku or ADB permissions.

I've tried a few notification-filtering apps, but haven't found one that reliably does this. Any recommendations?

I'm searching a browser to use on my tablet that makes browsing feel like I'm doing it on desktop. I'm talking features like: multiple tabs, being able to split the screen and have two different tabs open on it, default desktop webpage formatting, and etc..

It wuold be great if it was Mozilla based because I have all my passwords and bookmarks there but I'm happy to compromise if necessary :)

Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong sub to post in, I wasn't sure where else to ask.

I have mp3s I own and would like to play them with lyrics going, like Spotify or Apple Music do. Is there any app I can do this in that doesn't have a monthly subscription?

(I know I can create a YouTube list, but it's thousands of songs and I'd like this accessible without taking gigs of space on my phone if I need it to be available offline.)

Thank you very much for any help or advice!

I've used a few keyboards, but they all suck when typing. If they are good at dictation, Wispr Flow works perfectly fine, but I hate the limit and I don't want to pay for it. I know there are some open-source options and free options out there. Do you recommend anything that lets me use the default keyboard while being able to also have it hover on top of it so I can use both?

Hey everyone, I need urgent help. Something weird and malicious has taken control of my Android phone.

What happened:

A VPN called “Jiya” connected itself.

Status shows “Jiya Connected”.

Notification says:

“This device is connected to the Internet through Jiya. Your network activity, including emails and browsing data, is visible to the VPN provider.”

The actual Jiya app is completely hidden — it does not appear in the app drawer or All Apps list.

Whenever I try to open Settings, Apps, VPN settings, or almost anything related, the phone immediately goes back to the home screen. I can’t stay in any menu long enough to disable it.

I also found a System Sync account called “SyncAccount” with the exact same logo as the Jiya VPN (blue/red heart/cloud icon). There is a “Remove account” button, but I’m not sure if removing it will fix everything.

A friend of mine had the exact same issue on his phone. He said this came from some APK related to System Sync.

I have recorded videos showing the “back” behavior every time I try to open settings or app list.

What I’ve already tried:

Looking for the Jiya app in All Apps (not found)

Trying to open VPN settings from the notification

Searching “VPN” in Settings

Everything just forces me back to home

Phone details:

Android phone (looks like a recent Samsung or similar with One UI / stock-like interface)

Currently connected via mobile data + this VPN

What I need help with:

Please suggest every possible way to remove this:

How to properly delete the “Jiya” VPN profile when the app is hidden and Settings keeps closing.

Whether I should remove the “SyncAccount” under System Sync.

How to force-remove a hidden VPN / Always-on VPN.

Any ADB commands if needed.

Whether this looks like malware and if I should do a network reset or factory reset.

Any other method to regain control.

I’m attaching the screenshot of the System Sync / SyncAccount page (same logo as the Jiya VPN).

Any help would be really appreciated. This is urgent.

Thanks in advance!

I was wondering are there Music Players out there that have Big Grid and Big Album Artwork Type Layouts? I'm currently using The Musicolet Music Player App For Android but The Album Artwork Isn't big enough for me. The Musicolet Album Artwork/Grid Layout Limit is only 5. So I'd prefer to find an app that offers a lot more. If I could some suggestions I would really appreciate it. I like my Album Artwork to be as Big and as Huge as possible. I have a total of 1,821 Audio Files/Songs on my Fold 7 and I'm going to be upgrading to The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 on Halloween🎃👻
