I actually found Cinnamon to be more resource intensive than Gnome on most computers.

When excalidraw was mentioned in another comment I think it would also be worth to mention tldraw even though I don’t kniw whether it can be counted as an replacement since I never used draw.io.

they never worked very reliably in my experience.

It works perfectly on my phone (Poco X3 NFC). It is probably different from phone to phone.

On Android, from FDroid you can install an app called Seal

I like ytdlnis more.

Lawnchair 2 is no longer under development. The development team always starts to develop a new launcher based on the latest stock launcher every time a new Android version is released (so basically every year). This way the app usually never gets past the alpha or beta builds till they already move on to start from scratch. I don’t understand their strategy.

I use Google Lens and I also have to keep Google app installed. I agree it’s annoying that they just can’t make the apps work standalone. There already is a package that nearly all Google apps dependend on. The package is Google Play Services. Why can’t they implement this into Google Play Services as they do with all the other stuff (quick share, find my phone, location services etc…)?

https://labs.perplexity.ai also works.

To anyone with a TV running Android I recommend SmartTubeNext: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube

I am not aware of any.

Well the messages app that comes with samsung does support Google’s RCS as far as I know.

Google implementation of RCS (Jibe I think it’s called) is proprietary. A third party client has to be explicitly allowed and supported by Google.

Did you flash a custom ROM? Maybe it will work with a custom ROM.

EDIT: Your phone uses Mediatek processor, so it’s not going to be well supported. I recommend you to stick to locked bootloader and just live with the phone as it is.

Did you unlock your bootloader? Some apps just scan for Google Play SafetyNet or in some other way to check whether you unlocked your bootloader or rooted and if they think you do they will vaguely state you are rooted.

Other’s concern about your phone being infected are justified and I recommend you to try whether a dedicated root checking app thinks your phone is rooted. These usually don’t lie.

Regarding your rooting situation I always rooted the lazy way. Renamed magisk.apk to magisk.zip, flashed it and it always worked for me. But I rooted only 2 phones in my life really and this is not the recommended method by magisk developer.

LibreTube

It is not only ironic but pathetic. They promote it as the new open standard and people who just don’t look further into the details believe it.

AOSP source code

He is asking about Android studio not Android Open Source Project?
