Android has "Rules" (Settings > System > Rules, on a Google Pixel), but the options are very limited, and I think that Google should expand it to give Android users something akin to Apple's Shortcuts app.

"Create My" could be used to create and trigger a mode, e.g., "create a mode that silences notifications whenever I open [media player] and turn off mode once I leave the app".

I just watched a demo of Create my Widget and in the video the person even described the widget's color, which Create my Widget quickly generated.

I think there's a lot of potential there.

Quote from Grapheneos:

"Android 17 QPR1 was released for Pixels on September 15. It has a regression in the Pixel kernel driver tree causing stuttering, lag and outright freezes under memory pressure."

Questions and discussion welcomed in the comments.

Anecdotally, I have 3 phones in my circle of people that previously had the setting Require Device Unlock on.

After the latest update this setting was set to off.

For the life of me I can´t figure out whey they would change this setting. it is a huge security risk. Someone with a tap to pay scanner can just walk right by you and you´ll have a charge go through.

EDIT So it looks like it is a Pixel thing from reading the comments. Also, it seems that even though this setting was setting to off it was still requiring the phone to be unlocked to access NFC. So now my question becomes if the phone is always required to be unlocked to access NFC regardless of this setting, what function does this setting perform?

This is an app that allows anyone to make their own app discoverable by others.

If you have a GitHub repository with a downloadable Android app, simply add the “arkstore” topic to it. Our app will automatically scan your app and display it in our store.

You can also add your app using only its URL, making it immediately available for others to discover and install.

The only requirements are that the app is public and has a GitHub-approved license.

Hi everyone! I recently ordered a Galaxy tab S11, coming from an iPad Air and iPhone owner. I'm completely new to the ecosystem and want to catch up on the interesting ways to use an Android device. I'm excited for more freedom compared to iPadOS.

So far I'm already planning on using it for Krita and interested to see how I can use Blender and Godot on it. I'm also interested in emulation and sideloading. I just wanted some guidance and a good introduction to the ecosystem as a first-timer!
