#Android now supports DHCPv6 PD I can't believe it either
About fucking time... Android finally doing proper DHCPv6. When this is live on my phone I can turn off SLAAC, and not have Windows insist on using it (yes, there's meant to be ways to stop Windows from using SLAAC, so it only uses DHCPv6, but I never saw any of them work). *I* don't want 'random' addresses, I want predictable ones for firewalling and ACLs: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/simplifying-advanced-networking-with.html?m=1

Anyone got suggestions for a simple android list app with some kind of automatic sorting based on weights?
The weighting should be granular and preferable one should be able to adjust it straight from the list view.
Atm. I'm using just using a sheet app where col A has name of the item and col B has positive integer that I can change when needed. After that the sheet needs to be rearranged by col B.
Samsung has disclosed a serious vulnerability affecting a core utility within its Android devices, one that has already been exploited in zero-day attacks.

Bad news for custom ROMs: Google changes Android security patch strategy
Monthly security patches for Android will be smaller in future. In addition, the source code will no longer be published regularly.

Did you know monocles chat supports pinned messages? You can pin multiple messages, stacked so the most recent appears on top. In the next release you’ll also be able to jump straight to a pinned message’s location in the conversation and also pin images and files.
- Pinned messages stay visible and are easy to find later.
- You can pin multiple messages at once.
- Pins are useful for action items, decisions, and deadlines to keep conversations focused.
- Save frequently used links, instructions, images or files.

Having bought my second #iOS device in ~4 years, I still miss these excellent #Android apps
1. #Firefox (the one on iOS is not proper Firefox)
2. #AntennaPod
3. #Tubular (#NewPipe fork)
4. #RedReader
5. #FDroid (duh!) where I get the above apps and other #FOSS apps from.
Would've considered switching back to Android, if not for the ever-increasing AI anti-features that I don't want on my phone.
I've been using the Lawnchair launcher nightly release for a few days now and it's pretty solid. Not as feature packed as some others but I'm sure once it's stable more features can be added.

One great thing about TalkBack 16.1 is that I can finally type in landscape mode, instead of reverse landscape mode where I have to turn the phone to where the charge port is facing left. Naturally, on the iPhone, I can easily get it to do BSI in regular landscape mode. But on Android, if I reverse dot positions, it doesn't reverse the commands, so swiping left is Space, instead of Backspace. Since I can remap the commands on the onscreen Braille keyboard, I can fix that. The only difference is that you can't make swiping up or down with 2 fingers change, so for me swiping up is to dismiss the keyboard, and swiping down is submit. Ah well. Such are the compromises one must make as an Android user.
I tried to do the #QuotePosts thing, but so far I've only managed to do this with my own posts - everywhere else I get a "You are not authorized to quote post this message".
This is one of the major reasons why I wanted to move to another instance earlier this year - my old instance hasn't updated their #Mastodon version in ages.
Presumably, a lot of the users where I get this error message are still on an older version of Mastodon - but I am also getting this message from accounts on Mastodon.social, which also uses the latest Nightly build. Perhaps quote posts are disabled by the accounts there by default, and need to be manually permitted by the users?
What are your experiences with quote posts? Have you managed to quote post other users?
Also, what #Android apps for Mastodon permit quote posts? #Tusky doesn't seem to have them yet.
EDIT: Apparently, Tusky can't even show them - the quote on this post is invisible!
Do you think CalyxOS will ever upstream itself back into relevance, or is it effectively abandonware parked at pre-AOSP16?

@avoca @mcc #simplex works on #android #ios #windows and #linux ( #flatpak #appimage ) it doesn't need account syncronisation because there are no accounts just profiles which can be transferred between devices by exporting the chat database or you can kind of "cast" your mobile client to a desktop client as long as theyre both connected to the same LAN you just scan a qr code and then you're controlling your mobile client from your desktop client
I noticed something odd with the latest TalkBack update. In Firefox, TalkBack now reads a link's tooltip before the link's text., instead of the other way around. I thought it may have been a change in Firefox Nightly, but it also happens in regular Firefox... Has anyone else encountered this behaviour?

Material 3 Expressive: Googles neues Design für Pixel angeschaut
Google hat Anfang September das große Design-Update auf seine Pixel-Modelle ab der 6. Generation freigegeben. Was ändert sich mit Material 3 Expressive?
Android will *not* be getting most of the Unicode 17 updates.
Some of its fonts are over a decade out of date - and Google refuses to re-use its own Noto font stack.
I've raised the issue at:

Tor Project Launches "Experimental" Beta VPN App for Android
Tor VPN is built on Arti.
The app allows Android users to route internet traffic from individual apps through the Tor network, with each app receiving its own Tor circuit and exit IP address.
This sounds interesting 🤔

Signal is introducing cloud backups as an opt-in feature: https://signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups/
- opt-in, end-to-end encrypted
- local backup keeps working (on Android)
- max 100 MiB for free tier, premium tier starting at 1.99 USD/month
Not sure how I feel about it. Are there really so many users relying on cloud backups rather than their local storage infrastructure? 🤷♂️
The good news:
Our future plans include letting you save a secure backup archive to the location of your choosing, alongside features that let you transfer your encrypted message history between Android, iOS, and Desktop devices.

there is no reason you shouldn’t have full access to your #computers. there is also no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t install software you’ve developed or is developed by sources you vetted and trust.
this is a post about the (micro)computers in your pockets and purses that are marketed under the moniker of “smart phone”.
don’t matter if it’s an #iOS #iPhone or an #Android #Pixel: they’re #microcomputers.
we should have full access to and use of their hardware & operating systems.
this app looks quite handy. super simple pdf wallet 👌🏽 it can also import PDFs from a cloud.

Anyone using #FUTO keyboard? Adding new words is not very straightforward imo. In #gboard, I think, it would just remember custom typed words, but with FUTO I am supposed to manually add them to a dictionary?
Any way I can just add a word to the dictionary while I'm anyway just typing? 🤔
I don't see myself pausing while typing to then navigate to the dictionary and add the word I'm thinking about. This should be possible on the fly.
