I can click the dropdown for what a field is, select "custom", and then name the field whatever I want, such as favorite pie. I don't know if there's a limit to how many custom labels you can have.

So, is there a top choice for an app to manage screen brightness? I've used Lux for years, but it's a crashy mess on Android O. Obviously, O is still beta software, but Lux hasn't been updated in over a year, so I don't foresee it getting fixed. The stock Android auto-brightness is way too bright. I also like that you can create different profiles in Lux for things like day/night, so it would be cool to retain that ability.

I'm fine with that. But Lux seems to no longer be in development, so I was wondering what my alternate options are.

Any way to get the alarm sounds from Timely in another app? I find them to be much more pleasant than what amdroid comes with.

I just went to a ringtone site and found a nice soft one for the pre-alarm and use one of the Pixel's stock tones for the actual alarm. I always hated how Timely's tones never looped properly.

Back when everyone I talked to used Hangouts, it was super convenient. I would have conversations synced across my phone, PC, or even random computers I logged onto at work thanks to Gmail chat. Is there any way to replicate this with all text messages, even from people not using Hangouts? Ideally, I'd like to be able to pick up phone based SMS conversations I've been having on my PC when I get home.

Then create a new, one-time alarm for the next day. Then, set a reminder for any time after the normal alarm time tomorrow to re-enable the recurring alarm for the following day. IT'S ABOUT KEEPING IT SIMPLE.

I like a lot of things about my iPhone but iOS itself and all of the stock apps are infuriating to use when you're used to Android. Android got notifications right years ago and Apple still can't figure it out to this day. Also would it really kill them to add some kind of onscreen indicator when the phone is on silent? I'm sick of turning my phone around to look at the physical switch.

The simplest alarm is having your mom call you. Or installing Aire Freshener on an Android Windows emulator.
