  2. Android 16 contains a VPN bypass bug letting apps leak QUIC traffic outside Always-On tunnels, exposing real IP addresses to tracking.
    Google reportedly closed the report as infeasible, while GrapheneOS patched the flaw and Mullvad shared adb mitigations for privacy-focused users. 🔒

  7. Update: I'm not sure what happened, but Messages just tossed a bunch of my recent SMS messages. People were telling me they were texting me, and I wasn't getting anything. I went back to QUIK, and I can see that I received a bunch of messages, but they're all blank. YEOUCH. Bad. D:

    Just a quick FYI to my #FOSS #Android / #AOSP / #Lineage friends,

    There's a new fork of #QKSMS / #QUIK called Messages:

    Seems really nice.

  10. Ayer salió la versión 23.2 de LineageOS para mi smartphone, que corresponde a la versión Android 16 QPR2, y he de decir que estoy impresionada. Ya estaba un poco cansada de la misma interfaz de usuario que teníamos desde LOS 19, y el cambio me gustó bastante, incluso diría que está preciosa la nueva UI.

  11. Here's another cool find while looking around for FOSS Android projects: ChromeXt!

    It's an Xposed framework module that injects userscript and and DevTools support to Chromium-based and WebView-based browsers

    The module is primarily meant to be used with LSPosed, but it can also work with LSPatch for non-root environments

    ChromeXt is made by JingMatrix (you may have already heard of them if you've messed around with Android root tools!) and can be found either on IzzyOnDroid or its official GitHub repo: github.com/JingMatrix/ChromeXt

  13. Ok so. Been using #RSS readers for a long time. Mostly #Thunderbird and some #FOSS Android apps.

    Annoying to me has always been that the two don't talk to each other, and some QoL features missing. So now I am exploring #NewsBlur and #InoReader after reading that Pluralistic article. So far so good.

    WHICH IS YOUR RSS READER OF CHOICE? Must work on Android & sync to an interface I can access through a browser.

    Update, thank you all for the slew of responses and suggestions!! 🙏🏼

    2. Streetcomplete and #Openstreetmaps

    On the topic of #geolocation , there's another FOSS project that relies on community submissions to build a privacy preserving map

    let's face it, Google Maps is the most solid, polished and convenient maps app out there, it offers detailed business listings, phone numbers, open hours, photos and reviews, Streetview (which OSM lacks), live traffic, routing algorithms with turn by turn navigation.. Etc.

    But as it's the case with proprietary software, convenience comes at a cost, a cost that no one can afford, loss of privacy.

    Most people fail to recognize how sensitive location data is, how it's used against them and how it can be abused in the future.

    if I ask.. where were you on February 9, 2012, at 3 o'clock? you have no clue, you can't even remember what you had for dinner last night! me too :-) our brains can't recall events with time and location with such great precision, if you can.. you must be Charles Xavier from X-Men :-P

    But you know who can remember? Google. the Ad company profiles individuals by tracking queries, routes, and interactions, it records your movements by a feature called location history which is turned on by default, even when you don't use the app, your movements are still logged, heck.. even if you turn off location history altogether, Google keeps on tracking you.. this should tell you how much valuable location data is for E-Corp, where you work or study, what you're planning to buy, where you go for entrainment.. etc. all used to create a profile so that the surveillance machine can target you with ads..

    The brightside is that we don't have to use a surveillance tool like Google Maps, OrganicMaps is a free and open source software that respects your privacy, does not collect or transmit your location, search history, or usage data and it encourages you to use it offline by letting you know that you have to download maps for your area.

    Organic Maps uses OpenStreeMaps which is also free software, but as I mentioned it's not as rich as Google Maps in terms of data. :-(

    Which brings us to Streetcomplete, a FOSS android app designed to make contributing to OpenStreetMap easy. It's really like a real life game and I find it fun, It uses a simple question and answer interface to gather missing OpenStreeMaps details like: surface types of paths, opening hours of shops, speed limits.. etc

    Submitted data will appear on OpenStreeMaps, so all users of apps like @organicmaps and @CoMaps can benefit from :-)

  20. Motorola Edge 20

    I sourced this 'phone last year in my frantic search for a device which could run #LineageOS and handle VoLTE on Three. Subsequently, I moved to EE, and got an Xperia to run #Sailfish. This 'phone has been sitting on a shelf ever since.

    As the photo shows it is now running LOS. More about that later.

    This is the first 'phone I've used that doesn't have a MicroSD slot. Half the 128GB has gone already. :blobsad: No notification LED, either. :blobsad:

  22. Buenos días!
    Hoy me he enterado de la existencia de grapheneOS, y cual ha sido mi decepción al ver que solo soporta teléfonos Pixel.

    Conocéis alguna alternativa similar para el resto de dispositivos?

    Do you know a privacy-focused alternative to grapheneOS which can be installed on modern non Pixel devices?

  23. Help request - any FOSS Android app compatible with Misfit Phase smartwatch

    Hi, I've just received a mail from #Fossil they are discontinuing the support of their #Misfit app on the #GStore and shutdown their server from April 2023.

    My #Misfit #Phase hybrid smartwatch is still working and my daily gear.

    Is there any alternative Android app from alternative stores I can check? I tried #gadgetbridge from #F-Droid but unfortunately it does not support my device.

    Thanks in advance for any hint!
