As for applications, if Antifeature AI appears, I will be able to create applications using artificial intelligence. Many small projects will be easily transferable to Android.
I even did a test with a simple song recognition app. I asked AI to rewrite the Mousai app for Android – unfortunately, it did so as a browser interface, but it works perfectly.
If the applications are not too complicated, I think they could easily be made on F-Droid, and in addition, many simple games could be created.
And of course, you could take old programs and games and update them to work on new Androids (I’ve done a few such projects).
That might just be the ticket to make Pixel Studio Pro usable for free, then boost it up so it can handle much more. We could bust that 4096x4096 limit, and probably even add a feature to correct images that were damaged by FurAffinity’s compression system when you uploaded huge images to that site.
That also means other notable applications I brought up could be fixable to work fully disconnected from Google entirely!
That AI could destroy Google’s ecosystem idea outright!
WireGurd application is no longer available in fdroid repository.
There were dfiferent apps but at the moment there is no good app for using wuregurd config files. Rethink is no good for this purpose. It gets leaks because android kill-switch doesn’t work with it.
Does the Wireguard app work with the kill switch? I am struggling to see why the Rethink app wouldn’t have this as well or why Rethink doesn’t but Wireguard does? I use Rethink as an always on VPN.
problem is that WireGuard in Rethink is a VPN-inside-a-VPN: WireGuard acts as an internal proxy function. Android’s kill-switch applies to Rethink itself, not to the internal WireGuard instance.
When using Rethink on Android you can enable “block traffic outside the VPN,” but that only affects certain features — for example DNS filtering and blocking. If you allowed apps to access the network and the VPN provider drops, WireGuard can stop and traffic may continue outside the WireGuard tunnel. The kill-switch operates on Rethink’s firewall, which functions as a VPN to block apps. But Android’s kill-switch does not cover the internal proxy function.
You can check for leaks on VPN failure with an app like “Find My IP,” or run a Termux script that periodically checks your IP (while true; do curl -s https://api.ipify.org; echo “”; sleep 8; done).
True, but if this “Anti-feature AI” appears as indicated by another user. Then this will be heavily trivialized, plus every Android application that ever existed, even ones that are currently completely incompatible with modern devices, like ROM Patcher (Doesn’t work with Android 15), would become compatible forever, and even microG would reach a point where it could bypass everything Google throws at us, and Google would ultimately lose all control over Android, then the very applications that allow for Client-Side Scanning would finally be destroyed as well, making Android better than Linux at last. That, is the assumption at least.
I’m looking for an image viewer app, when it displays an image it slowly moves it slightly to the right, to the left, up or down, zooms in and out slightly. I thought for sure somebody makes this but I can’t find it anywhere.
This gives the image the appearance of movement. I’d like to use this for a tablet I’m using as a picture viewer.
Still hoping for an app which monitors the wifi connection and, preferably, tries to sort it out when a saved connection is available but the phone has not connected to it. Just happened again, sitting a few feet from my router yet find wifi turned on but not connecting to any of the networks just flitting back and forth between them trying to connect. So again was using mobile data when no need to. Turned off wifi and connected OK.
So best would be an app to monitor and check connected but if not that then maybe one which would just turn wifi off and back on every so often though can see that could also be annoying.
