[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.

Curious about your experience:
– Do you actually rely on voice typing, or is it just a backup when your hands are busy?
– Biggest dealbreaker: accuracy, punctuation, switching languages, or something else?
– Do you find it works better on higher-end phones vs cheaper ones?

I’m wondering if the pain points are universal or de...

Made my dad's year thanks to Android screen mirroring

I have an old, tech illiterate immigrant dad. He has an Amazon Fire TV, which he only uses for Youtube, and now I just got him an Android tablet.

The reason I got him this tablet is because the only way to watch old TV shows from his native country is to use Firefox (with adblocker) on a certain site. Yeah, not everything has an app yet, especially stuff for old foreigners.

Yesterday I made his day by playing him an episode of a 1980s show on the TV, mirrored from the tablet, with subtitles fr...

What's your plan if/when Google starts blocking unsigned Apps?

I've been using Android almost since the beginning, and the main reason for me to use it was the freedom we had compared to Apple, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone back then.

Now Google and the manufacturers slowly took our freedom away one by one... Built in batteries, locked bootloaders, no SD card slot, limiting access to certain files and now this.

Not being able to use modded or many other useful apps from F-Droid would be devastating for me. I already got notifications from apps that they'r...
