I'm looking for:
For a launcher, I've been using Neo Launcher (which is on IzzyOnDroid). It's not as feature full as Nova but it's pretty similar in spirit and style
Neo Launcher looks like exactly what I want! Thank you!
I had seen this referenced a few times in the past couple of weeks but finally got off my butt to check it out. I always install F-Droid but never bothered with extra repos. I guess I'll need to add that to my setup playbook because I'm gonna need Neo on everything now :).
It'd be kind of nice if I could run Ansible on an Android device. Full root backups aren't quite the same thing since I really want to apply the settings to multiple devices, not just splat a disk image on top of things.
I use fdroid app on my phone. Can you please explain what is izzyondroid?
Its an additional repository (source) for apps. You can add extra repositories in F-Droid settings.
...or rather than waiting for apps to become available on F-Droid, download from Github etc & use Obtainium to let you know when app updates become available
Thanks. Learnt something new today.
Here is the address for the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo
Here is a short video explaining Obtainium
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/JiN37bn0OE8
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I tried Neo Launcher a couple of rimes in the last week specifically for the Neo Feed add on (like Google feed but user defined RSS instead of Google). Neo Feed is excellent but unfortunately Neo Launcher doesn't allow a scrolling dock, which ive used for years with Nova Launcher.
Anyone know of an open source launcher with an option to have a scrolling dock? Bonus points if its compatible with Neo Feed!
Regarding mail: Have a look at "not much". It's main selling point is a searchable inbox. Mutt is also popular, albeit somewhat archaic looking.
I've been using FairEmail (Android only) and everything just works, including search.
