[Root] Messenger Beta adds built in app lock feature using Biometrics API

[Screenshots](https://imgur.com/a/KqXcF1X)

* No matter what option you choose, you will be asked for credentials upon leaving the app.
* It shows FaceID for me even if did not enable it (I also just have a Redmi Note 7 running Pixel Experience, no FaceID)
* Currently, you won't be able to open chat heads; tapping on it asks for credentials and then opens the whole app. Chat heads can still appear and notify for messages.
* This is the first time the gatekeeper worked so the issues may be fixed ...

The Potential of Android 11's Bubbles

Does something like this open the door for dragging and dropping?

Ex: In Google Photos,click a picture, drag it to the messages bubble, and it drops there, ready to send.

Feels like it has potential to be great for multitasking, but current apps would probably need to be reworked. to support dragging.

Or is DnD something way too difficult to implement?

EDIT - Found this old article talking about Google patenting drag and drop.

Android Messages for Web not staying connected with screen off? Possible solution:

Common issue that keeps coming up - Android Messages for Web not staying connected to a PC client. Works fine on my home network, not at work.

So, I brought an old router from home and hooked it up to the office modem, and the connection is much more stable. The router I was using at the office was a gateway (att fiber modem / wifi combo Arris bgw210). Now I am running it in bridge mode with ip passthrough to an old netgear router (meaning I disabled the gateways radios and all firewall / n...

Best apps for phone [self-tested ranking]

I made this post after testing loads of applications for phones to know which are the best in its category. Of all apps I tested I selected the ones I though fulfill with what they are intended for and made a list ranking them from the best for its purpose (first of the list) to the worst for it (last of the list).

As a criterion, I tried to put apps which are free and only put paid apps when these added a distinguishing amount of functions with respect to free of cost alternatives. Also, for t...

I watched my Oneplus 7T back glass crack in my hand.

I saw a couple of posts just like this and dismissed them as people lying about abusing their phones or something... but it happened to me, so I'm throwing in my data point.

I took my oneplus 7T out of it's case on a whim while I was outside. I literally watched as the back glass cracked spontaneously from the power button outward as I was holding it. It was pretty cold outside, about 30F - I imagine that it was the temperature change ...

With Google adding more obstacles to rooted phones, what changes do you wish Google would make to help rooted-phone users to fallback to non-root?

I always root my phones ever since I own a rootable phone (probably HTC M7, or earlier). It'd be difficult for me to move back to non-root, but I think I need to prepare for this day sooner or later.

The necessity of root decrease over time. For instance, performance/battery improvement gained from rooting (greenify, amplify etc.) is not as big as it used to be. We don't need root for dark themes (substratum). Tasker development has been amazing and we don't need root for many "root" actions no...

[DEV] Edge Launcher 3x Beta demo - major refresh, welcome your feedback!

Hello r/Android!

For the past 9 months I have been working on a major update to my old app Edge Launcher and I'm finally at a stage where I have the core functionality in place. I wanted to share a quick demo and get your thoughts on how it looks. Would you be interested in using it?

The main idea behind the launcher is easy one hand use and quick access to the most used features on the phone. Everything can be accessed with one touch without lifting your finger (there is also a conventional s...

Possible solution to the new SafetyNet TEE regime

So things are pretty wild right now, and I thought I could give you some help!

All you have to do is download the "MagiskHide Props Config" Magisk Module and enable it. Then, follow the instructions in the documentation to set your device prop/ID to one that doesn't have a TEE. Done! SafetyNet will now think you don't have a TEE and disable the hardware-based attestation, thus letting Magisk do its thing....
