When i login to innertune it still says please login

So, for quite some time, I was searching for an application that can convert Google Maps links to other maps. Many times I had people share links that were Google Maps links, and I wanted to visit those places using navigation with other apps like Mappls or Osmand. However, Google Maps links are not supported in those applications, and there was no apparent tool to convert Google Map locations to locations that were supported in those applications. Then, a few days ago I found the application Geo Share on Android. Very conveniently, it just sits in your share tab, and if you share a Google Map location, then it will convert it into a Geo location, which can be accessed by any map application. The only thing missing is that it can convert only Google Maps locations to Geo Share links. So if you want to convert location links from other map applications to Google Maps or to some else, it won't be able to do so. I just hope the developers will add that functionality in it as well in the future.

I got my first pair of bluetooth headphones, and they work well-ish as is.

I'm wondering instead of downloaidng their app through the aurora store or apk mirror, is there a foss app I can use to get more functionality out of them?

Thanks

Hello reddit,

I’m on the hunt for a music client that could do the following:

1. Integrate with local music files
   • You create a playlist, and the player checks a specified folder for local MP3s or other high-quality files. If it finds them, it uses those instead of streaming (local files could provide better quality, along with offline playing).
2. Smart downloading from a source
   • You link the client to a source. If a playlist includes songs that aren't available locally, you could select your source, and it downloads the missing tracks automatically to your folder.

Basically, it’s like blending the convenience of streaming with the quality and control of local music. Does anything like this exist? Or maybe there’s a combination of tools/apps that can achieve this?

Appreciate any pointers!

Searching the sub is mostly years-old posts asking the same question.

Anybody know of a FOSS app for editing spreadsheets/tables? I don't even care if it's exportable to csv or anything, just something for on the go recording.

I'm actually using NativeAlpha app to my social networks. But I'm having an issue... Can't paste any link on my Facebook because the app crash. Can be a configuration issue or it's something about the app?

I currently use Authenticator pro(Stratum). It has some problem scanning new QR code with inbuilt camera app so I have to add new code by importing picture from gallery but other than that the app works fine.

I recently came across Aegis Authenticator which seems to be quite popular. Has anyone used it? How's this app and should I switch?

I want to experience apple like ecosystem. So what are the apps that I must use? I already use Local Send for file sharing. I would appreciate if someone suggested apps for my android and windows for the ecosystem like experience.

Thanks in advance

I recently switched my contact, phone, and messaging apps to foss versions. Howevet when i go to quiksms, none of my friends' names are being displayed. it shows its phone number. I tried saving contacts from quiksms, but while it created a contact, it never saved in quiksms. I use the fossify contacts and phone app, for reference. Any help is appreciated! Edit: it works on Fossify messages, but id rather use quiksms

I'm looking for any apps to keep track of my subscription such as Spotify or Amazon Prime.

Realized that Sensorz app is no longer available on F-Droid nor Izzyondroid repo

I generally don't trust any third party APK download sites, and downloading to an emulator, extracting the APK, and sideloading is getting a bit inconvinient.

 
Qwanting leads to some suspcious looking sites, eg. aurorastore dot org, or a 404 like this https://github.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore

 
I found the F-Droid link in the menu on the left, thanks, so just lokking for the Aurora Store ditto.

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to f-droid and so far it's been absolutely great browsing through and using some of the open source apps from f-droid.

I was wondering if there's an app on f-droid that I could use to shorten URLs? If not, would appreciate some help as to where I could find an open source version to use on android devices.

Thanks ✌🏼

maybe someone knows messengers via wifi? something other than briar, it would also be cool if it was possible to create a mesh network there.

I've been using App Usage purely for it's timeline view.

It's the only app I've been able to find that structures the data in this way. Chronological with screen lock/unlock, screen on/off, with the duration.

Are there any FOSS apps that display Android App Usage in this way? I've tried a bunch but they all are missing screen and lock monitoring and or duration in-between apps. It's important for me to know exactly when I start and stop apps, along with unlocking and locking my phone.

So for the most part i use Cromite and everything is fine, but every now and then there's going to be some website where something breaks and it's not usable and i would have to juggle around and see what setting is needed, like webgl or webrtc or Javascript JIT, as usual there's a trade off between security/privacy and convenience.

So my question is, how do you guys handle this sort of thing? I already whitelist some of my commonly used websites but last week i had to login to a package tracker and instead of juggling around to find out what i had to allow for it to work i just logged with another browser.

I'm treading lightly here as i'm not asking for proprietary browsers but as i get older maybe i'm thinking that Cromite isn't for me, i care about ad-blocking and some privacy but i don't want to juggle around in-case some website doesn't load, and as i said this is very rare that it happens but when it does it's quite annoying.
