Is there anything around that'll allow me to permanently expose a folder on my phone as a (login-protected) network share over local wifi? Not rooted, and preferably not something that'll chew my battery, obviously.

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

fishmech posted:That'd just stick you with an even more limited version of Android than BlueStacks et al. Eh, but it's maintained. Gives you a basic AOSP7.1 and installing gapps is easy enough. Kang has a lineage port for pi too, although it's less vetted. Vykk.Draygo posted: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. Ridiculously slow. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Sep 15, 2017 |

anakha posted:I'm looking for a stopwatch or timer app that will buzz or send some sort of sound every 15 or 30 minutes to notify me of time elapsed but the sound will stop on its own without me having to access the phone. This is for helping me track my pace during my runs. Don't know if it's applicable, but for other things I use an app called Tell Me The Time that lets you set an interval and it'll ding and state the current time out loud every <interval>. It might not be useful to you, though, because it uses base times to count from - if you do every 5 minutes and start at 9:23 it'll announce at 9:25, 9:30, etc. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Jan 2, 2018 |

The fact that you can't make Google Assistant use a British Male voice without setting your entire phone and account to british language settings is just another example of how out of touch google is.

Yeah. I have a master music collection on my computer in MusicBee, I just want to be able to sync it to my phone, plugging in my phone is slow and unreliable and really annoying, and it seems like this should be an easy task. And it would be nice if it was two-way enough for me to update ratings in their ID3. GPM has a really annoying browser and I'd just prefer to use shuttle.

Anyone know if there are any decent cloud storage providers whose apps will sync arbitrary folders on Android without needing a crappy third-party tool. No being able to play my music through your embedded app music player is not a valid substitute, pCloud, give me actual offline files in the file system.

What's a good basic IMAP email app that doesn't do something dodgy with security. outlook is breaking because of the inability to customise starttls and authentication fully. Gmail app is apparently not preferred.

Jeez, trying to find a simple app for something that the phone should do built in but doesn't on android is a nightmare of wading through 'recommendation' pages for adware-filled-data-harvesting microtransaction-blocked-basic-features crap. Anyone got a recommendation for a simple recorder/uploader? Google's one is pixel-only and this person doesn't have that. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Oct 18, 2021 |

Just audio recording. Google keep can take short notes but assistant decides 'oh you're done talking' and wraps up and then transcribes it, we just want to record ten minutes of audio to a file.

If Android apps do well on it you'll probably find better under that category. If it doesn't have internal app casting then just casting the whole screen should do you fine, right? Microsoft Whiteboard's Android app, maybe? (E: oh there's a webapp for it too, that should do you fine)

Well Swype's owned by Microsoft as of a few months ago thanks to them buying Nuance, maybe they'll create Microsoft Keyboard sometime. Their Android launcher's pro-tier great, after all. Wait, MS already had SwiftKey, didn't they. Well, maybe they'll merge them. What happened to SwiftKey?

Probably not though, way too hard to merge technologies like that

Does anyone know of a reminder notification app that puts tasks into your notifications on a schedule like the usual, but you can't accidentally swipe away the notification, you have to hit the done button, and if your phone reboots, uncompleted reminders restore. I've genuinely missed taking pills a few times by the notifications vanishing.

Honestly, for an older person with their first smartphone I might think about iOS; it forces you to do things its own way more than Android, but on the other hand it can be less confusing for a beginner for the same reason. Although that opinion was formed a while ago, I don't know if it's kept that lately. Flipperwaldt posted:It's probably no help but I was reminded of the Baldphone launcher that turns your phone into something like this: There's a company called Emporia that makes phones for elderly with android skinned like this. No idea if it's any good though.   Funso Banjo posted:I'm looking for an email client that is super simple, because when I let her play with spark it blew her mind and she got very stuck. My go-to for email is just outlook and then turn off all the swipe actions and focused inbox and smart things. That might not be simple enough though.

Yeah, there's pages about hooking your icloud up to android like this no idea if it's a decent guide or not but yeah it looks like you can hook icloud up to gmail, you've gotta create a third-party-app password for it.

I use Microsoft Launcher. I have way too many apps and the alphabet scrollbar app list mode is too handy and for some reason nothing else has it done well. And even that aside it's surprisingly good considering.
