And how will this scientifically work? You're saying this will work the same way as to how hydroelectricity is generated? We already have power banks for the purpose you said.

Yes, those are definitely ads, and they are caused by adware (malware which displays unwanted pop-up ads) like @B.Diddy said. Adware usually can't be detected by antivirus, except for some famous adware like Mobidash. If you have any "Cleaner" app(s) installed, remove them to get rid of these...

What kind of pop-ups? Are those ads? Do you have a screenshot?

It's because you updated to Android 11. It no longer allows you to view Android/data directory without root/shizuku access. If it doesn't work with shizuku then try to cd into the directory with ADB. adb shell cd /sdcard/Android/data ls

Does this mean that the sideloading block won't affect me if I'm using vanilla AOSP or microG? I haven't been using GApps for over 2 years now, and whenever I get a new phone I remove GP services first. I use microG though. Google play services is literally is a trojan horse virus. It spies on...

Just wanted to say that this is exclusively a windows thing. Linux doesn't need "drivers". It detects all drivers automatically, as all the drivers are in the kernel itself. So you don't need to install them manually. Same goes for macOS.

I'm not sure what you mean by "constant maintenence". I have been using Linux Mint for 4 years now, and I barely pay any attention to the system itself. I mostly do web browsing, programming on android studio, using some CLI tools and gaming in DOSBox. I install the updates only once in a week...

Is your phone itself in dark mode? The menu is provided by "android.ext.services" package, which is a part of AOSP. So you can't send "feedback" to anybody about this. It's a bug in AOSP.

I hate google, but I have this much trust in them that they would never do this. And they actually CAN'T do this since android itself is FOSS. They even confirmed that AOSP is NOT going away. But if they do it, I will do one of these 2 things: 1. Don't update to the then-latest android version...

You're welcome. Hope it helps.

Here you go. Quik SMS https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.octoshrimpy.quik/ Fossify messages https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fossify.messages&hl=en_US https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.messages/ (I recommend Quik, it has more features)

Use a free and open source app like Fossify Messages or QUIK SMS. FOSS apps never have ads/trackers. Do NOT use Textra, it has 7 trackers, including dangerous ones like InMobi, Smaato, etc.

So I saw many threads on AC from 2010-2019, and it seems like this forum was very technically advanced in the past, maybe even more than XDA at that time! People talked about rooting, custom roms and modding their devices in almost impossible ways, and still got answers! But now? I see people on...

What you were talking about is AOSP's settings intelligence app, and not Google's "Android system intelligence" spyware. Everyone misunderstood. This app actually provides the "search" function in Settings. If you disable it, the search bar will be gone. And to those who said that it's...

OP was not talking about the app Signal, he meant cell tower.
