  • I switched to DroidFS from EDS lite (a kinda dead open source alternative) few months ago. It’s soooo nice.

    I think it’s the first app that can open a big video without allocating that space in internal storage. Previously, if I had a 1gb encrypted video, apps would decrypt it in internal storage and play it, temporarily taking up an extra gigabyte (this was an issue if I didn’t have enough space).

    I’m using gocryptfs because I actually kinda like seeing the file structured, in case I need to delete a folder or file without decrypting the storage, and I can decrypt those files on pc too (I think both windows and linux have an app for this).



  • Lol, who wants these anyways. One more reason not to use google play services. (Though I have google play services on this phone.)

    Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched.

    Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

    One good thing you could try is use this app:

    Find My Device




  • If you set it up properly (like using apps to sync folders) a big enough sd is like local “cloud” service.

    I was thinking about it recently, after my phone data were very close to being deleted (I managed to prevent it eventually), I was angry at how not having an sd slot caused me so many issues. If I had a 1tb sd I would just autosync app backups and files to my card and not worry ~at all about losing data from bootloops etc.
