One useful thing that I'd like to see ported out of Allo is the suggested follow up commands for a Google search. I think pretty much everything you can do in Google assistant can already be done via Google now searches right?

CLAM DOWN posted:I'm sorry if this has been answered, I've skimmed the last bit and can't figure this out. If I use Allo to send a message to a contact with a phone number, without them already having Allo, what actually happens? What would they see/receive? They would recieve a text from a number they wouldn't recognize as google relays your text through their own texting network. also if you send another text a day later there's a decent chance it will come from a completely different number that time.

LastInLine posted:Anyone mentioning data caps as a way to hang on to SMS is just wrong, messaging uses so little data as to be completely negligible. The only time I could see SMS being preferable in any way to a real messaging service is in the case of spotty data coverage (but even then maybe you should consider getting yourself a carrier that works for your use case). Why is it trash? It works across platforms, regardless of what phone or network you are on. I bet you love Apple's lightning cables over USB type C too.

If your work doesn't support work profiles maybe this will work? It looks like it can setup a local work profile. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.typeblog.shelter&hl=en https://www.xda-developers.com/shelter-open-source-sandboxing-app/ I haven't tested this myself so it may not play nice with a work app trying to administer the device. The way work profile works is it's setup alongside your personal profile. you don't have to reboot the phone or anything. It just prevents your work apps from talking to your personal apps. From your end it would be a more or less seamless experience, except you might have two email apps, one with JUST your work email and another with all your personal emails.

Anyone have any experience using Amazon photos to back up and sync their photos that they take on their phone? It looks like that I have unlimited space for photos on there as a prime member so I'm considering using that in place of Google photos with their limitations coming up.

Nitrousoxide posted:Anyone have any experience using Amazon photos to back up and sync their photos that they take on their phone? It looks like that I have unlimited space for photos on there as a prime member so I'm considering using that in place of Google photos with their limitations coming up. I guess I'll follow up on this since I've had a couple of days to experiment. Obviously yesterday was not a great experience what with Amazon servers being down across the US. But once that cleared up it started automatically backing everything up. You can set it up so that it will only back up while on Wi-Fi and charging which I find to be the best experience so that you don't blow through your battery or data cap. Amazon's identification AI is not as good as Google. It thought that some rocks that I took pictures of were vegetables. but it did correctly identify me as a person and was able to group all the pictures that I was in even if it didn't know who I was. You can set identifications for people it sees so it will later group them correctly together. It does try to group pictures together by day, location taken, and what it thinks is in them just like Google. Aside from the latter being not as good it seems perfectly acceptable and makes it's pretty easy to find photos later on I think. If you want to share with other people who have Amazon accounts then it's a relatively straightforward thing and there's even a built-in mini chat app so they can respond to a share in there. Of course you can always share outside of the app as well. I actually have an easier time pulling the pictures out of the Amazon universe than I do with Google as all you have to do is navigate to your prime drive, or was it Amazon drive, and just select download and it'll start downloading. no need for a separate takeout system like Google has with their data availability. I don't have a good eye to be able to tell if it is doing any compression on the images, but as far as I can tell it doesn't look like it. Edit: it also has the ability to set photos as hidden and it squirrels them away separately. I assume this is for your naughty photos if you like taking those.

Inceltown posted:I've actually just swapped to KISS Launcher now as the lack of shortcuts was annoying me as I use them a bit. FOSS - something I'm trying to move to more as I de-corporatise my life - so on f-droid + play store and doesn't need an internet connection at all so no one is getting your info. Still mostly a text search rather than scrolling based UI but a nicer middle ground. I gave this a shot. It's definitely a different ux from standard Android. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it or not. If you try it spend some time giving apps tags. It dramatically improves their searchability and you can use tags like a folder by pinned a shortcut to that tag to the favorites or enabling certain tags in the "customize tags" menu under "user experience"

Lemniscate Blue posted:Two questions related to messaging apps on Android: DeltaChat is an option too. It's an E2E encrypted chat that uses your email to send the encrypted messages. Not the quickest thing in the world since the backbone is email and IMAP and SMTP, but it has no central server and works with any email that supports IMAP and SMTP (which should be the vast majority). And E2E encryption should work on any email that supports Autocrypt and CounterMITM protocols.

You can also grab rss feeds for specifically the media or tweets & replies feed by first selecting those before you hit the rss feed icon in the top right. I use this to limit to media feed only for the fanartists I follow.

This is a good chart of pretty much all the launchers. I'm personally trying out the open source Kvaesitso lately and it seems cool. Lots of search integrations so you can search your online drive (google drive or nextcloud) local files, or a bunch of other services if you want. Up to you if you grant the permissions.
