Can someone recommend a good QR-Reader, that can read codes from pictures that are in the gallery? I am currently using "Barcode Scanner" because it has a builtin QR-generator. But I recently installed a separate generator, because Barcode Scanner can't create those combined wifi tags. I am using QR Code Generator now, but if there is a better rec for a generator, I would also be interested.

Does anybody know how to gain more control over the audio of two media apps. I generally have music running through gpm. Sometimes when a webpage plays a sound in firefox, the music in gpm is paused or muted to make room for the sound. I want to turn that off, the only workaround I found is fully muting firefox. I also want to turn that on for my workout timer app, or at least increase the volume. My workout timers (I use "Tabata Timer" and "Mi Fit") are a bit to silent for my taste, I would like to increase their volume relative to gpm or mute gpm while they play messages, like it happens for firefox. Are there some settings hidden somewhere? Or some apps I can install for that? I haven an Android One phone, on stock version 8.1.

FunOne posted:It's New year's, so that means resolutions. Does anyone recommend a chess app? I'd like to improve my basic game. When I am offline : The Magnus Trainer app (Freemium). I also used to use the official Stockfish app (FLOS), but setting difficulty levels is notoriously unreliably with the fish.

LastInLine posted:Thanks for this question, my wife just asked me about this yesterday and, not having played in years, I didn't have any suggestions. Are any of the above suggestions suitable for beginners? I looked at them and I feel like if you're great, you need something totally different from when you're first learning. If you both play, you can use the over the board mode in the Lichess app to turn your tablet into a chessboard. And even get computer analysis and mistake tips, which most freemium apps charge money for.

What is the best timer app? I was still using timely for that, but I recently needed to run several timers at once. The stock timer can technically do that but the interface is just annoying.

I recently switched to local files, too. I ended up using Musicolet as my Android player. And I used beet for the sorting of the files. And samba and foldersync to get them on my phone.

I used to use an encfs app for android, but I stopped some years ago and I think the project died. found it again: https://github.com/neurodroid/cryptonite it actually did truecrypt compatible drive encryption if you are rooted, but I have never tested that.

Does anybody know a animal identification helper app that actually work? Googling only gives me "seek" and that app sucks. It hates focusing my camera and gives me very questionable output even if it does work. And it seems impossible to extract a link to the animal's wikipedia page or something like that.

eSporks posted:This picture is terrible and not good for much. The iNaturalist/seek app took that picture automatically, because it decided it was great. Which is one of the reasons why I am looking for a different app. The straight iNaturalist app seems to be for when I already know what I am looking at and want to make a log. Basically the opposite of what I am looking for.

eSporks posted:I don't know what seek is, but iNaturalist will give you suggestions, which is really nice because photo recognition is never going to be perfect. You can click through a few of the suggestions, compare pictures, read about habitat and narrow it down that way. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inaturalist.seek I am going to try the other inaturalist app next time, I think I have finally found the suggestion thing.

eSporks posted:Yea, I looked into seek afterwards. I don't know what niche its trying to serve that iNaturalist doesn't. The reviews are pretty bad too, so definitely check out the actual iNaturalist app. The interface takes some getting used to, but functionally it's really good at identifying most things. Even when it can't, it gets you close enough that you can research on your own. Well, when I started using it I was convinced that the iNaturalist app doesn't offer help with identifying things. Not sure if that is because they added it later, or bad interface discoverability.

Well if the normal file usage apps can't find your problem, it is probably in some directory that you can't see on an unrooted phone.

butt dickus posted:i don't know how to check the price now but it was two bucks when i bought it. if you've been using it for years then throw them a few bucks. if you really want to be cheap you can earn that through the surveys pretty quickly I had expected them to be more expensive. Looking it up it costs 6€ which is several years worth of surveys in my location. Anyways, I tried Total Commander and it looks good.

Does anybody know a way to have whatsapp (and possibly other apps) use a different notification sound while my phone is connected to my bluetooth headphones? I have it is vibrate a bit with no sound normally, but don't notice that if I have my headphones in. I want to play a ding or something through the speakers if it is connected. But, no sound if I don't wear headphones. It is a MiA2 on stock Anroid 10.

Single payment is fine but I'm not looking for a subscription. It should also support outlook as I have an address there as well. I use k9 mail for my tablet, but for the opposite use case. I manually check my dozen of email accounts at once without getting notifications.

Looking it up I guess that's yet another recommendation from me that's an app not available on the play store, just on f-droid. Sorry if you're a normal person and that's not your bag. Huh, I have geometric weather installed from the playstore. Do you know why it is no longer on there?

hark posted:does it have the ability to auto sync on a schedule? I've heard of it before (and synctrezor or whatever the other thing is) but I never really dug in to check it out No. I have mine set to sync while charging and connceted to my home wifi, which is possible. Before switching to Syncthing I was using Foldersync, which does have the ability to sync on a schedule. I was syncing with an smb server, but it has options for most common file hosting systems.

I used Adobe scan the last time. Free, but needs an account. It also applies some kind of really ugly post processing by default, but it gives you much more control then drive. At least att.

Signal just shows your contacts that are also on signal on your signal contacts list. If you are afraid that they start compulsively spamming her on any platform as soon as they notice her there, get her better friends. More productively, I had people recommending simplex as privacy fanatic chat option, though I haven't gotten around to trying it myself. Wechat and Telegram are the other popular chat systems, each with their own problems.

I use kdeconnect, it works surprisingly well on windows. But I don't think it allows you to use computer audio for voice calls even on kde. I also use droidcamx to use phone video and audio like a webcam.
