Has your camera app been crashing or not opening ? I may have a solution for you!

I have a Pixel 2XL and love the phone but have had one issue:
The camera has been crashing (or not even opening at all) constantly for over two months.

I have tired everything to fix it and was about to sent the phone away for repair (I still may) until today when I had an odd suspicion that the reason my camera wouldn't open because another app was 'using the camera' or appearing to use the camera so it wouldn't open.

Turns out I was right. Gboard was always 'using the camera' even while no a...

Why do custom ROM's support so few phones these days?

Did something happen? I remember back in the day I could find stable ROMs for just about any shit-tier phone. But now, you're lucky if a year-old flagship phone is supported. What gives?

Has the custom ROM community died down? Or am I just not looking in the right place?...

Blocked numbers

After many versions of Android, why is automatically deleting records (sms, calls) of user blocked numbers still not a thing? One would think that most people who block a number willfully do so to not get to read or be aware of the blocked numbers attempt to contact them. Instead we have android save it in a convenient place for one to read them later - probably not the intent of most users.

It's not because of technical limitations for sure. So what is the design reasoning for such a lack of f...

I'm a high schooler who got pissed off at Quizlet for locking night mode under a pay-wall. So I made my own Android app without the BS.

Like most students, flashcards are often my saving grace when its 2 AM and I have an exam the next day. And now that we are past the Mesozoic era, what better way to channel the power of flashcards than using technology? For years, using Quizlet was a no-brainer. Best UI, best study modes, most sets, right? Absolutely no use in switching over to another platform.

That is until those assholes decided to put Night Mode under a paywall. I'm someone who loves dark UIs, and have been using night mod...

Night mode: Google Cam vs Default Camera

I've recently installed the Google cam apk on my redmi k20 / mi9t

There is a night and day difference in portrait mode, not only can the Gcam take portraits shots without having to rely on the telephoto lens, but it also manages to detect and cut out foreground edges in a much cleaner way.

But what's even more impressive is the difference in **night mode** shots. I was blown away by how much true to life the details, color rendering and overall lighting turned out on the gcam shots. Take a loo...

PSA: Spotify has removed the homescreen widget as of the latest update

Official post [here](https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Android-Widget-Removal/td-p/4800301).

Given the recent shit show that is the new redesign, you'd be forgiven in expecting Spotify to *not* make yet another boneheaded decision. Yet here we are.

But don't worry! They're sending our feedback to the right folks! 🙄...
