May I recommend OSS Document Scanner + Syncthing? Both apps are FOSS and it looks to me like that they might be able to replace what Microsoft Lens does for you with the advantage that you are free of Microsoft software.

Open Tracks allows exporting in either KMZ (default), KML or GPX format. Go to Settings, tap on “Import and Export” and there look, towards the end, for the entry “Export/sharing file format”.

Hey there, I’m sorry about this craziness. My comment was not really directed at you, but I was just quoting part of the original post that mentioned you.

I was trying to suggest that OP is confusing criticism of the GrapheneOS community with criticism of the OS. You make a good point and, as I pointed out, you were not criticising the OS, but the community. Not the same thing.

Even @[email protected] gives it backlash despite being a moderator of Lemmy’s biggest privacy community. A quote here: “grapheneOS trolls are downvoting every single post and comment of mine, and committing vote manipulation on Lemmy. They are using 5-6 accounts.” That was in response to downvotes on a comment posted in the c/WorldNews community, which is entirely unrelated to technology.

It seems to me that you might be confusing things: You say that people hate the OS but share a comment complaining about the community of users/fans, not about the OS.

I have never used GrapheneOS and cannot comment on the OS, but I have seen some users in different communities commenting that GrapheneOS is the only valid alternative OS and discrediting any other OS. It becomes tiring pretty fast.

Wanted to say the same: the typo made the comment better. There has to be a community for this.

MP3Tag sounds cool, but there’s no Linux version it seems :(

Also, is there any reason to switch to newpipe if ReVanced is serving me well?

I guess for most people not, but there can be some:

• privacy: NewPipe doesn’t require you to log on to a Google account (but it so connects to Google servers if you watch YouTube videos). You can, however still follow channels (only locally, obviously)
• ability to download videos or just audio. An extra is that on ReVanced you can have the download function through a 3rd party app, you can choose from several and NewPipe is one of them.
• NewPipe can also play content from other sources, like Bandcamp or SoundCloud.

A reason to not switch would be… the interface is not very ptetty

Thanks for the tip! There was also NewPipe with SponsorBlock but I can’t find it anymore. Do you know if they’re related?

But also on the main F-Droid repository. I can see both results when I search (see screenshot in my other reply).

I can. Have you tried updating the repository information in your app?

There’s tons to choose from, some that are also found in the Play Store (often with Google proprietary libraries or tracking removed). I would recommend:

• Aegis authenticator: for 2FA.
• Antenna Pod: for all your podcasts needs
• Aves Libre: beautiful gallery app which I personally prefer over the Fossify app that others recommended here (try both and decide for yourself).
• Binary Eye: QR code scanner.
• Gauguin: a Sudoku-like game, very entertaining.
• Heliboard: a great keyboard with support for multilingual typing and glide typing. Completely offline and private.
• KDE Connect: to wirelessly connect your phone with your computer, transfer files, share the clipboard, control your computer from your phone…
• KeePassDX (or Bitwarden): password manager. I personally prefer KeePassDX and dealing myself with syncing the database (via synching or KDE Connect), but some people prefer Bitwarden which offers online syncing.
• KISS (or Kvaesitso): simple search-based launchers. Kvaesitso has more options but also feels a bit heavier.
• Metro: music player for local files
• Moshidon: Mastodon client.
• Mull: web browser based on Firefox with hardened privacy (+uBlock Origin extension)
• NewPipe: to watch YouTube videos without ads.
• Organic Maps (or OsmAnd~): offline Maps based on OpenStreetMap. Break free from Google.
• Syncthing: to synchronise files between devices (Android, computer).
• Tasks.org: to-do’s.
• Transistor: listen to the radio. Many stations built-in, and you can add more if you have the streaming URL.
• Voyager: client for Lemmy.

There is already a paste button, although not directly shown. I can access it in 3 different ways (but I have made some changes to the default settings, so it might not be exactly the same for you):

• on the toolbar on top of the keyboard (you need to extend it by tapping the > button on the top left). You can customise the buttons that show up here in “Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys”
• by long pressing the comma key (my favourite way), a pop up shows with several keys, among them the paste key.
• by long pressing the enter key

I think so too. You need a non-free library for glide typing, but with it it works like charm.

It’s a pity it doesn’t work for you right now, but I’d recommend to keep an eye on it since it’s under active development and you might see Japanese input added soon. You could also check open issues on GitHub or open a new one and give feedback about this need.

It should be available in the main F-Droid repo. It has been only on IzzyOnDroid for a while, but I can already see version 1.2 on the official F-Droid repo too.

I followed the recommendation of the developer and installed the file from GApps packages (“swypelibs”). They provide a link in Heliboard’s README, scroll down to the FAQ section and look for “How to enable glide typing”

Not necessarily: you can choose to have several languages separated as different input methods (you can switch between them very quickly by sliding vertically from the space bar) OR you can go to “Settings / Languages” and select one of your active languages and inside its submenu add languages for multilingual typing. This way when you select that original language as input method it will use and recognise all the languages you added at once. I must say this can be tricky with glide typing, but still works pretty well.

I have Heliboard set to English (UK) and it suggests British spellings (highlighting the American ones as typos), so I think you should be good. However, I’m not sure if the spellings come from my phone’s system or from the keyboard…

I would nevertheless recommend trying it: it has some very nice improvements over OpenBoard and is under active development, so you could request new features or report bugs and expect them to be taken care of.

Heliboard can do multilingual typing, and I believe there is some kind of haptic feedback… I don’t use that function, but it was mentioned in the latest release notes
