No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
 

I'm sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven't hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it's a productivity tool that's boosted your efficiency, a unique game that's kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that's catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.

What are some Android hidden gem apps that you've used a bunch or think it's really cool/interesting/useful?

Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.

Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

KISS launcher, I can't imagine using a phone without it.

[–] CCatMan@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

Need this for my Google TV

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Interesting concept, but I just can't stand the animations that are not from the stock launcher.

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kiss is exactly what I want in a launcher. I use it but it seems to crash a lot and/or fail to run the search properly or render my icons.

Have you noticed that at all? It's happened across 2 phones for me but I may be unlucky or doing something wrong.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm using it for years on 2 phones and it works well. It crashed here and ther, but I'd say it's about as stable as original one overall. I used to have problem with arcticons, butanual restart helped it. It's sad you encounter problems.

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Funny you mentioned articons. I have actually had a lot fewer stability problems when I switched away from articons.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But they look good and are very minimalistic. Do you know something similar to replace them?

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I switched to Delta Icons, also open source also on F-Droid. They aren't as minimalist but they're neat and flat and pastel.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'll give it a try. Although I must admit I'm pretty used to my monochrome setup right now. Will se how it goes.

//EDIT: I tried them and I quite like the pastel idea, but I don't like how inconsistent the theme is as a whole. One icon is round, other one is square and third one is just symbol with no background whatsoever.
