even after renaming MangoHud.conf to MangoHud.conf.old in ~/.config/MangoHud/ And launch a game with MangoHud, it does work. However, where would the config be if it doesn’t show up in ~/.config/MangoHud/
That’s what I am trying to figure out, the Readme and Archwiki don’t have the paths I am looking for.
It would be cool if there was a website, or an app that would act as just an F-Droid repo browser to show package details, and other pertinent information.
I don’t mind Obtainum’s UI, but I apparently have missed features it has. I don’t have F-Droid installed at all currently. I am sure there has got to be a way to find package names without having the F-Droid client installed.
Thank you! I didn’t know that was an option with Obtanium, but sure appreciate you sharing!
The problem is that I don’t use an fdroid client whatsoever. I use Obtanium. So as far as my search has taken me, the fdroid link is the only one with APKs built that Obtanium can use.
I still use Nova, however, I use AFWall+ to deny internet access to it. As well, as give it as little permissions as necessary.
I have tried many of launchers over the years, and I can only find myself using one: Nova.
However, I don’t exactly love that Nova was bought out by Branch, an analytics company. So I still use Nova, but when using LineageOS or stock Android I use AFWall+ to block internet access to Nova.
If privacy isn’t a concern of yours, then Nova without a way to deny internet connection to it would do.
Nova has the google feed feature you are looking for. It works quite well.
Nova has 1 feature that I cannot find in another launcher (at least not an open source one…) that for me is the ability to swipe up and down on an app icon and have it launch another app or shortcut. It’s powerful and allows me to keep my homescreen empty, and I have 12 app icons on my taskbar. That being said with swiping, I can launch 36 apps from my taskbar alone. Allows me to keep it clean. And that mixed with separate tabs for app categories created by me.
The closest to Nova I have found, and is an excellent launcher is NeoLauncher
This launcher has quite the selection of features and I do implore you to check this launcher out.
I did end up getting Android Auto to work luckily. However, other things just went sort of south from there. My use case for GrapheneOS wasn’t quite fit.
The built in firewall did work well enough for my usecase. However, I didn’t want a DNS based adblocking solution as that took away from my ability to connect to my home VPN. I should reach out to see if they can help. However, I did end up switching back to LineageOS since I could use a custom kernel which significantly lowered the running temps of my phone.
I wanted to try DivestOS, but there isn’t a Pixel 8 Pro build yet.
Huge fan of what GrapheneOS and the team/community have done to make it better. I am sure going to keep my eye on it going forward.
There didn’t appear to be a DivestOS image for my Pixel 8 Pro, so I went back to LineageOS since I couldnt have AdAway and AfWall+ among other things on GrapheneOS.
I ended up trying out LSPosed mod and Pixel Expert and Iconify, and decided not to use it. This k you for taking the time to respond and share!
That sounds quite frustrating, wish I had any advice to help but sadly I don’t.
I ended up trying GrapheneOS on my P8P, but it didn’t quite fit my use case.
I ended up back on LineageOS again, so I could have AdAway, AFWall+, and as of today I installed a custom kernel (Sultan Kernel) and I am pretty happy with the outcome.
I still love GrapheneOS but I was having issues with notifications among other things.
Never been an iOS user outside the days of the iPod touch, specifically gen 2 and 4. Though, I jailbroke them as soon as it was possible. Are you playing local music? I may have some suggestions for it.
Graphene is a nice degoogled option, when there aren’t issues. Unfortunately with my Pixel 8 Pro, I have had a lot of issues that just don’t seem solvable without dev changes.
Can’t say I have ever gone down the rabbit hole of using /e/OS Though I have heard of it. What bugs are you experiencing?
I would have given DivestOS a shot if I was on a Pixel 7 Pro, because that’s what I wanted instead of the 8 Pro, but necessity dictated I bought one because I can’t be without one for very long.
I will keep an eye on Diveset, but it is looking like I may go back to what I had setup on my 7: LineageOS, rooted, with my necessary tweaks. At least I like tweaking things, so there is that.
On my 7 Pro, Android Auto worked great. Since flashing GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 I have had no such luck.
I know it’s overkill, I was running AdAway as root, with a Wireguard connection to my home VPN, which was running behind a PiHole instance, along with uBlock Origin, and a few other measures of blocking like AFWall+. But I may just go the route of using PiHole as my adblocking solution (along with my own unbound DNS server.)
Though, you have piqued my interest with Blocky, as I have had some issues with PiHole that I am not wanting to troubleshoot at the moment.
I may have to fine tune my uBlock in order to block advertisements from video (and luckily with Mull I have been able to use SponsorBlock successfully.)
The video advertisements that haven’t been blocked are on other video hosts that I have found for various purposes, but maybe with fine tuning my uBlock, and having blocky, or PiHole, or AdGuard home (although if I am being honest, I am avoiding anything that isn’t open source as much as possible.)
I know my preferences and use cases are niche, but I really do appreciate the conversation around this! Thank you so much!
Mull is my current browser of choice, so I like that idea. I will have to give DivestOS a shot. Thank you! It doesn’t look like the Pixel 8 Pro is supported by DivestOS, at least not from a quick glance. I will have to look into potentially what it would take to build it for it though.
Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you don’t have anything to say.
