Search

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The ones in my scope thus far are:

• Table Habit
• Kudoku
• Loop Habit Tracker
• Habo
• and "Habits"

TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker

Anyone know where the issue is to be notified to? Or where I can learn more about the issue? I did try to read the log file and this message seems noteworthy: > No hash for gradle version 8.9! Exiting.

espeak's apk doesn't seem to have been updated in 2 years and says it isn't compatible with my phone (Pixel 8a). I'm not sure if there are any decent ones. I want TTS for OSMAnd's navigation while driving. They do prerecorded voices too but those can only say prerecorded things obviously, so eg can't say specific road names.

Android can open it as read-only but is there an app on F-Droid that allows me to write to an NTFS drive connectrd over USB-C too?

I started using it last year and I think others would benefit from knowing about it too.

Offline dictionaries(based on data from wikipedia, wiktionary etc.): https://github.com/itkach/slob/wiki/Dictionaries

I use the Wordnet and SimpleWikipedia dictionaries along with the one for the Wiktionary in my native language. ______ Going on a tangent about the dictionaries(you can skip this if you're currently not interested on that):

They had a Malayalam dictionary, which was quite awesome for me, as I'm a Malayali. The dictionary is based on ml.wiktionary.org from 2021. Maybe there were not too many additions for the effort to make a new one.

The code for creating the dictionaries are also available in their github. I tried it out, but I'm on Opensuse Leap currently and installing couchdb seems tricky.

I also saw a python package, Pyglossary, which helps to convert dictionaries between opensource formats.

Wikipedia provides monthly dumps of zim files(used in Kiwix, another dictionary app. Not available in F-droid). https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/kiwix/zim/ I was able to use Pyglossary to convert those into slob files and use them. So might be an easier way to get slob files, if slob files of Wiktionary or Wikipedia in your language are not available. Or if you want to update them. Data scraping is also avoided.

It feels completely different, yet very similar. I like it. Feels like the most modern app on my phone now.

Edit: I don't like the floating action button search but that's just my opinion. Maybe I just have to get used to it.

If you use mobile data only on your phones, and you update your apps by transferring apks through local connection (offline), bad news.

Saving to external storage is gone, and every single phone will need to download updates through Aurora separately, either by using up mobile data or connecting to WiFi.

On version 4.4.3 this feature is already gone.

Dev: > ... both settings were dropped. I am open to patches if someone can implement it again using the documents API which is recommended by Android.

--- If you know any app that can extract split apks, so that it can transferred and installed afterwards on another phone, please let me know. Thanks

I use GeometricWeather and this app is no more present in the repo. How could i know why this app was removed ?

Drop fruit. Do not go too high or game over. Try to get as many points as you can! !

New in F-Droid. Happy to see this. In the past I used Noice but then Noice wanted Internet access and I stopped using it. It comes with Anti-Features warning. Soothing on the other hand requires very little permissions.

For people that read their books digitally, they probably all know of Moon+ Reader the de facto industry standard. However I had a couple issues with Moon Reader, none were show stoppers, but just things that I felt could and should be improved. This led me to looking for alternatives, A LOT! Eventually I stumbled across Legado. It had a user experience that felt sane and modern and it didn't feel like it was bloated by legacy code or design. I've been using it for over a year and though it's not perfect, it's better than M+R for me.

That said, the English translation is sub-par and that's being kind. Subsequently, when I asked the developer to host the translation somewhere it would be easier to translate than on Github, the developer, whom is Chinese and given that their userbase is mostly Chinese and said it wasn't worth the extra work and that is certainly their prerogative.

But… I would honestly like to see this epub reader get the love it deserves from the West. So if anyone would like to contribute to the English translation please make a pull request.

@fdroid Hey. Could you please Update the changelog ti 1.19.1? https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md

I need a FOSS alternative for AccuBattery / Battery Guru, which can measure the actual capacity of battery on Android

Best #Chess Clock? Currently using Simple Chess Clock /via https://github.com/simenheg/simple-chess-clock #android @fdroid

I have recently stopped drinking alcohol and I am looking for an app to keep track of my progress. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If possible, a widget with days since last drink would be nice!

Edit: Thank you so much for all the suggestions! I found Sobriety to work best for my particular use case.

New #Acer #ChromeBook. Can't seem to install @fdroid to get personalDNSFilter installed.

Is there a chrome-book equivlent for easily managing a DNS block list, on device?

Yes, I can run something on my home netwok, but what I'm looking for is an easy, on-device solution, like installing a "local vpn" like #personalDNSFilter does on my phone, into which I can put my own block list, and easily add and remove entries.

Browser extensions not enough, want to intercept all IP.

If you turn on the use tor setting and 127.0.0.1:9050 is open fdroid works fine, but if only [::1]:9050 is open fdroid fails.
