Awesome Android Apps
AAA
Hi all,
for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:
Rules
- Open Sourced
- Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
- Free as in Freedom
- Ad-free
- Installed and tested by me or by contributor
- Privacy-friendly aware
- Easy to use
- Still in development or polished experience
- Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
- Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
- Has dark theme
...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.
I hope you will find it useful! š¤©

It's funny, this stuff was normal before smart phones. If you forgot to charge your phone (because you only had to do it every week or so, so you didn't have a routine) then the alarm would still go off even if the battery died in the night.
We have some awesome new things that smart phones give us, but it's not without compromise.
True. I still miss, and I don't know how to display passing seconds on my clock. It was present in Android 11 and now in Android 14 I cannot find anything to have it. Moreover, I loved on OxygenOS "triple fingers" from top to bottom - doing screenshot. I hate doing it through buttons. Same when I have a turned off-screen I could just "draw" with my finger letter V, and it would turn on the Flashlight and the same way turning it off.
Oh I remember those gestures when I had a Oneplus, I think it was a 3T.
For the clock, if I open my clock app and go to the clock screen it shows me the time with seconds. Or are you meaning in the notifications bar or lock screen?
Yeah, don't know why the only thing that remains from the gestures is navigation...
I mean the top-left corner of my smartphone when unlocked. I have hours and minutes and I want seconds too.
Holy shit it works, thank you! Even after uninstalling it after I did everything I wanted.
Why are they hidding it in built-in settings? Isn't that a developer options or hidden features tab in Android for?
Glad it worked! Yeah it's weird they make you install a third party app to let you launch something built in, especially since they already have an established path for accessing hidden settings.
Exactly... But thanks to you I have it now. š
