What types of apps are you missing from the FOSS ecosystem?

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.

Which app has that fixed?

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.

@GotOnion

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).

wireguard #Rethink #FindMyIP vpn termux

I’d like to see some app in fdroid for this purpose. There was WG Tunnel app but not now.

#wgtunnel

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.

Maybe Simple Frame | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository ?

Your need is so specific. Have you tried Xscreensaver?

I DMd 0droid a few days ago and they were able to figure why the “leaks” happened. Thought I’d share it here.


Wow, this one is neat.

Where does the “Non-free Net” Anti-Feature come from though? The readme notes Dicio uses Aplhacep’s Vosk on-device model?

in client you can see the reason

AntiFeatures:
  NonFreeNet:
    en-US: Accesses APIs of Genius, OpenWeatherMap and DuckDuckGo

No, thank you, but that only animates during image changes.

Are you trolling?

We already have those apps or you can use the proprietary service in the browser.

You didn’t bother searching?

Becoming a financial institution is very expensive.

If they are not good then help them with code or money.

I expect you to edit that post and strike the apps that are already available in f-droid.org

Thanks Sir, your expectations have been met.

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.

Thanks,

sounds more like a device/Android issue

no more OEM updates? no custom ROM?

Might well be a device/Android issue but I just want a solution. Phone is Honor View 20 with Android 10 so not new. Whatever the cause I would like an app to stop this issue and can’t believe that this is only an issue for me.

Also would have thought, but I am not a programmer :wink: , that this was not a complicated app.

Thanks,

Your app includes the nekobox program, but it lacks, for example, v2rayng. Why?
