Somebody suggested Wallabag which can also be self-hosted and is available on Kobo.

You could use alternatives if you specifically want some videos. Grayjay can play videos from multiple platforms.

Seek help. Its not too late.

I too would be all for it. Unfortunately, I bought a phone from an OEM with short support cycle. Android 15 will be its last rodeo.

You can cope all you want. It doesn’t change the nature or the fact Sync is broken and has stopped working in major areas where it impedes function. It would’ve been fine if it was cheap like the old sync reddit app.

But, we weren’t the ones asking for high ad-free purchase, or Sync Ultra price.

I too use droidify and unobtainium and have never received such pop-ups. I guess if it warns you there’s the possibility the app is malicious or requests sensitive permissions.

They removed sdcard slot support in A36 and A56 series phone.

Its beyond bleak – dead.

Samsung A series were the last hope. Now, that they are dead – and stuck on 256gb. Your only options are portable SSD/micosdcard with type C support, buying a phone with 512gb/1TB storage.

Honestly, the A56 makes literally no sense. You could just get the S24fe since it lost the one defining feature which would’ve made it worth Samsung’s asking price.

That’s the one I know. There’s also XMPP if you can use something less feature rich.

Removal and high capacity Silicon carbon battery?

Choose one. Fairphone does the former and is expensive for a reason.

It works if you say Ok Google. But, if you need a custom keyword. You would need to use an automation app like Tasker, Automate, Macrodroid and invoke Gemini.

As for bluetooth I don’t have an always on bluetooth speaker so cannot comment on that.

No.

Basically long pressing a post, or feed opens it as its own seperate windowed app. So, there would be two or more syncs in recents menu.

Does it have multi window support like Sync?

I use Adguard for this purpose. You need a license to access some features. But, it can block ads even on sites which directly serve ads

If its a convenience thing. PI with shizuku can do background(in the notification) installs. So, you can tap install on multiple apks at the same time.

It also supports RCS which would work by default for most people. The rest of the world may use something like WhatsApp or Telegram.

You can bypass the limitation assuming its not a hardware compatibility issue. Download shizuku and PI(package installer). Setup shizuku with wireless adb and you use PI to install the apk file.

I use this method to install old apks which are blocked by the OS because they use an older SDK and target older android versions.

Try SayIt. Maybe, that can work for you?
