Health Connect syncing across multiple devices

I have multiple devices that track activity and send data to Health Connect.

1. Pixel phone tracking via Fit

2. Pixel watch (Fitbit)

3. Casio watches app

4. Fossil watch app

If I use different watches at different times of day, can I reliably get a consolidated step count somewhere(even when I'm not carrying my phone) ? Google Fit always shows Pixel phone as the source for steps, so I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right place.

Anyone save links and never open them?

You know that feeling when you save something to watch later… and never watch it?

I’ve done it with YouTube videos, Instagram reels, and articles. They just pile up and get forgotten.

So I built RemindLink — an Android app that reminds you to go back to the things you saved.

→ Share a link directly to RemindLink from any app

→ Set a reminder for when you have time

→ Get notified and open it right from the notification

No sign-up. No account. No cloud. Just install and use it.

Your bookmarks stay on your device.

It auto-detects the platform (YouTube, Instagram, Medium, and more) and categorizes everything automatically.

Tried a Moto G Stylus 2025..

And I don't think I'll be switching back. I have an S24+ but wanted to use my 1TB micro SD card for all my lossless music. We happened to have a moto g stylus 2025 sitting around so I tried it. I'm blown away. Performance is flawless, camera is accessible (which is great for a moto), battle life is amazing. Also, the "chop motion" to turn on the flashlight.... I don't know if I can go without it now. Not to mention, "twist to turn on camera". All phones should have something like this. This is the best midrange phone I've used in years and years. I mean come on, it has a headphone jack and a micro SD card slot. Motorola, if you keep this up you will keep me. Nobody else is doing these things. I'm buying my dad one to replace his 2022 Moto G Power.

Which sub $300 phones are the best/easiest for custom ROMs?

I want a cheap phone with no AI and no restrictions on side-loading. I see Motorola phones on a lot of "supported devices" lists, but allegedly they're a giant pain in the ass to actually root/flash.

I made a clean, ad-free media downloader; here's the code and installer.

Hi everyone. I was tired of websites full of misleading ads for downloading music or videos, so I decided to create my own native, open-source app.

It's called ImaLoader. It's built using the yt-dlp engine, but with a clean and straightforward interface for Android.

Key features:

Pure M4A (High-Fidelity Audio) and MP4 (Video) downloads.

Zero ads, zero trackers, and completely free.

Modern and fluid interface.

100% open source code under the GPLv3 license for complete transparency.

If you'd like to try it out, audit the code, or help improve it, here are the links:

Source Code: https://github.com/JH3RSON/ImaLoader-Android

APK Download (v2.0): https://github.com/JH3RSON/ImaLoader-Android/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Any constructive criticism or suggestions for improving the code are welcome. Thank you!

Better SIM management for US Samsung phones

My US Android S21 does not not have the same options as other phones (like iPhone) or other Samsung phones in other countries.

A post about 3 years ago offered a couple of workaround solutions. Unfortunately by the end of the thread someone said that an Android update had stopped these from working. I tried one of them and this appears to be the case.

Does anyone have any updates on this? Other posts suggest that the same is true even for the latest US Samsung phones, which would certainly prevent me from buying another one.

LibrePods is now on Play store

For those of you who don't know, LibrePods is an app that brings the full Apple experience with AirPods on Android.

- It shows accurate battery status (unlike all other apps that use BLE broadcasts which only show the nearest 10%)
- It has immediate ear-detection (other apps can only detect if you remove one specific bud)
- Change Listening Mode from the app, widget, Quick Settings
- Use Conversational Awareness
- And many more customizations

This project has been out for ~2 years but due to a bug in the Android Bluetooth stack/Apple not following Bluetooth standards whatever you want to call it, the app needed root for changing how certain parts of Bluetooth worked. However, Google recently fixed this issue with Android 16 QPR3 (March update) on Pixel devices, and it will be available for all devices on Android 17. And this issue was fixed by Oppo/OnePlus in their Android 16 release too!

Compatible devices without root:
- Google Pixel - Android 16 March update later with the latest Play system update
- Google Pixel - Android 17 Beta 3 and above
- OnePlus devices - OxygenOS 16
- Oppo devices - ColorOS 16
