Bloatware removal on Android without Root and without a PC

Published on in 📱 appydroid

In this blog post, I want to share an alternative method for removing bloatware from your Android phone without the need for a PC. I discovered most of the apps during my recent adventure of migrating to a new phone. With the help of a few tools and some basic knowledge, you can debloat your phone and easily revert any changes if necessary.

Ditching Pocket Premium: Streamline link saving with Telegram

Published on in 👨‍💻 Dev
Updated on

For the past two years, I’ve been using Pocket to save links that I want to revisit later. However, as my yearly subscription is about to expire, I’ve started thinking about finding a free alternative that offers the features I actually use, without paying for unnecessary extras.

Yes, I still keep some old domains to redirect to sections of this blog: appydroid.eu to redirect to the app and smartphone related section and ein-geek.de to redirect to the German part of my blog. Even though I merged them about four years ago. 😄

By the way, the oldest post still live on this site is approaching its seventh birthday. Time flies! 😱

Overcoming challenges for a better phone: My frustrating upgrade experience

Published on in 📱 appydroid

Although my old smartphone is still in perfect condition, I have made the decision to upgrade to a new model: from a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite to a Samsung Galaxy A54. Despite its current functionality, I opted to make the switch now, with the hope that the trade-in value will remain higher compared to what it would likely be in a year when it will likely decrease. And the A54 was on sale.

Two years ago, for the first time in my life, I experienced the basement filling up after a heavy rain. And now, not even two years later, the same thing is happening again. (I and we are fine and there was not too much damage).

Although I have lived in Braunschweig full time for more than 23 years (and now still part time), I only recently saw this portal from 1584 for the first time.

While reddit is trying to kill itself – the CEO doesn’t seem to care much about the community (but I don’t really care about the topic enough to know for sure) – I think Lemmy is a nice alternative. Quite minimalist, but fast, has an app that isn’t cluttered with ads, and relies on ActivityPub to federate with the Fediverse. Even though reddit could reverse decisions, some people (including me) now know of better alternatives.
