Pixel 3 and Pixel 2 are still suffering from Out of Memory errors

I work as an Android developer on an app with millions of downloads. Our app is generally crash-free for 99% of users, but there can be some out-of-memory crashes once in a while.

I've noticed that the vast majority of these crashes occur on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 2, despite Pixel devices making 8% of our total users (Samsung makes up \~75%). Other devices with 4GB RAM seem to be generally fine so it seems like the issue is specific to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 2. It's...

LineageOS 18.1 breathed new life into my Nexus 7 2013.

I'm very surprised to see this tablet still being unofficially supported years later. I installed LineageOS 18.1 on it yesterday and It's amazing that it can even run it. For a device that came with Android 4.1 I'd say that's pretty damn impressive.

It's definitely not smooth though. The animations lag when opening apps, the same with multitasking. The SD 600 struggles for sure. Overall I gotta say it's not much slower then Android 7 which is what I was running previously, it's just less smooth...

Self-Post: Google ruined Chrome on Android

Greetings, r/android

Lately I've become quite frustrated with the changes that Google has made to Chrome on Android. I feel as if they're removed what made Chrome great, which was the simplicity.

Google removed the horizontal tab layout and replaced it with a grid layout, which isn't ideal when using a large device. Afterwards, they introduced the "tab groups" feature which has been quite controversial. There's also the changes to the Discover feed, the rem...

Google has decided to block 3rd party share replacement apps in Android 12

Since you can't customize the share menu, I find this really disheartening. I discovered this from the Sharedr developer's FAQ page.

>It's come to my attention that Google has decided to block 3rd party share replacement apps in Android 12 from responding to the share event and, consequentially, Sharedr will no longer be an option to use as the default share menu. I have filed a ticket (#181887406, merged into #183035750) on the AOSP bug tracker and received the foll...

The last Galaxy S10e Android update blocks "Uninstall updates" from Samsung Apps

I use Action Launcher as my default home screen and after some updates of the ONE UI 3 Homescreen app the gestures control became buggy on third party launcher. So I disabled auto update on Galaxy Store for the Samsung One Ui Homescreen app and removed all the updates thru the default option on Config app and it fixed everything.


Nevertheless, after the last update of Android 11 (1st march) Samsung have installed compulsorily the last update of every Samsung app and removed from the Config...
