Does anyone know of an app, widget, xposed module or whatever that would let me force the device into sleep/standby (or I guess also turn off and reboot) without using the physical power button?

I have my tablet mounted in the car such that I can't easily access the power button, and sometimes it fails to go into sleep when it loses external power.

Google maps? Waze? Here? These have been good apps for years now.

I have all three installed on the above device, they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I wouldn't say any of them are actually bad in any way.

What the gently caress is AMP?


Is there a legit up to clean up various cached garbage? I just nuked half a gig of cat videos from the Whatsapp cache on my mom's MotoG but it's a pain in the rear end to do regularly and also for viber, IG and other apps. I actually did the "delete data/cache" from the Android options but it didn't do poo poo to the useless videos.

Is there a decent app for calorie tracking that isn't MyFitnessPal? It's been annoying me with ads, pointless "community" poo poo and sending my data to u see armor recently. All it really needs is a half decent nutrition database.

Haha.

I only really watch stuff on my phone when cooking so I've been happy enough with just the adblock in Samsung's browser. If I could get a mobile browser with sponsor block, that would be that.



I have a cheapo Android head unit in my car, it works great, but I have some issues pairing some BT devices. Specifically an OBD2 dongle and a BTLE remote control. I was hoping to use the latter as a hardware remote, as the HU only has capacitive buttons which suck when driving. But it won't pair with these, there's a weird custom UI which detects the devices, but nothing happnes when I tap them.

Is there a way to bypass this and use either the normal Android bluetooth settings or some custom, 3rd party way to try to pair these?
