They sort of have this wallpaper already except it uses your battery % instead of the weather. There is a live earth with clouds in the Google wallpaper app. Last week they even had a hurricane on it.

I used Tapet for ages, until I realised I essentially only like 2-3 patterns and 2-3 colour palettes. These days I have a folder of wallpapers I like, and have Muzei randomly rotate through them every day.

Yeah, one fault I have with Tapet is that while very configurable, it's difficult to get it setup so that it creates stuff with a certain stylistic preference in mind. Also, all to identify it comes up with a color/pattern color that makes anything on your home screens unintelligible.

The only wallpaper you need is the Google Earth wallpaper on the pixel

I use tapet and I think it looks good, but I haven't bothered setting it up on my new phone because I look at my home screen for like 30 seconds a day.

I just upgraded from a Note 3 to a Note 8. Does the latest Note no longer come with SketchBook (or any other prosumer-type drawing app)? You'd think for $900 Samsung would include one.

I would pay real money for an Android emulator that worked as a standalone desktop application on my machine and wasn't tied up in a bunch of bullshit bloat (Bluestacks), paid app auto-installs (Nox), and was up to date (both are 5.1.1, I think).

I wonder if it would be possible to set up a raspberry pi emulator and install RTAndroid on it.

Is there a reason that the emulator built into Android Studio couldn't be used the way you guys want? I realize that it's probably a hassle installing AS just for an emulator but it would be up-to-date and unbloated.

I just use plain old virtualbox for android and other OS emulation. It's open source and free for personal use, no bullshit packaged with it either. You'll need an x86 build of android though and that might not fit your testing needs hot date tonight! fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Sep 14, 2017 |

At the end of the day, you are probably better off getting a Chromebook with Android app support if you really want Android apps in a desktop environment.

Does anybody know of an app that lets you choose ringtone and notification sounds with a file browser or something instead of dumping you into this useless massive unsortable unsearchable list of every goddamn audio file on your device?

Iirc if you have a file manager installed and you go to select the default notification sound in settings it will ask you if you want to use the file manager or the media selector

I thought Ringtones go in the Ringtone folder and Notifications go in the Notifications folder and that's what it shows you when you select one. I don't think I've ever been shown anything outside of those folders and the system sounds.

This Samsung is the first phone I've had that's done this, all my previous phones (Sonys) have just let me pick whatever but now I have to put stuff into the appropriate folder to use it.

NonzeroCircle posted:This Samsung is the first phone I've had that's done this, all my previous phones (Sonys) have just let me pick whatever but now I have to put stuff into the appropriate folder to use it. Vykk.Draygo is correct in that stock Android has always only shown what's in those folders. If there was ever a time when it didn't it was back in the Gingerbread era. Sounds like Sony has made some changes to standard behavior. Edit: In fact I know it always used to do that because Dianne Hackborn (one of the original Android framework people) wrote an app that would apply ringtones because the media scanner would often not run when you added stuff to the folders so you couldn't apply newly added files.

I had the same problem years ago and found an app called Ringtone Maker. It's ugly as hell, but it works as advertised and I've used it on my last two phones. I just use a youtube or soundcloud downloader to grab a song and open it in there. It lets you set start/end times for whatever song you want, and (I can only assume) saves it to the appropriate folder so your phone recognizes it as a valid ringtone. It also works for notification sounds which was useful when I was looking for a longer one than the stock ones had available.

I'm fairly sure you've just had red long enough it's not been an issue for you actually Once upon a time adblockers worked on the YouTube app, but it was a long time ago

I've never seen one anywhere but I'll admit I don't use the app much. Maybe twice a year? I have no use for video on a phone. Before this year I was always rooted with AdAway but I doubt I opened the app at all on my Pixel and now I guess I've got Red so it doesn't matter.

Well we happen to be in the android app thread Blocking on the desktop is simple, on the app its essentially impossible* *you can install a modified version made by a 13 year old on xda, or apparently adguard will block but only if you are constantly clearing data on the YouTube app
