[PSA] Stop Samsung Keyboard from reading your clipboard (no root, just ADB)

So for those that are not aware. Samsung Keyboard will always read from the clipboard regardless if it's enabled or set as the default keyboard. This poses a major security risk and data privacy issue as all data is now being ported to samsung


Temporary solution. Go install ADB by downloading android studio. Run these commands to disable the samsung android apps that cause this problem. This will require you to have a different keyboard like GBoard or Microsoft SwiftKey.

Chrome for Android will let you set the color of its UI independent of the OS's dynamic colors. The Toolbar, menus, Settings, etc., will adopt the solid color you choose or the main color of the image you set as the background of the New Tab Page. The solid color option is already working in Canary.

PSA: Recompiling ODEX caches after updates can improve the performance by a lot

Long story short, my Galaxy S21+ went through 4 major system updates from Android 11 to Android 15. The system itself runs some basic cache rebuilding tasks after updates, during the "optimizing apps" screen, however, this doesn't apply to all of the installed apps. This can result in old ODEX caches being used even after major version upgrades. More info on what ODEX is available here:

Android voice typing users — what drives you crazy the most?

I’ve been trying to use Google’s voice typing on Android (mainly through Gboard), and it feels like a mixed bag. Sometimes it nails it, sometimes it totally derails.

– Biggest dealbreaker: accuracy, punctuation, switching languages, or something else?
– Do you find it works better on higher-end phones vs cheaper ones?
