Hans Zimmer made a ringtone for Oppo, and it's got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard

Link.

It's subtle, and strikes a perfect balance between being a ringtone and a piece of music you'd just love to hear.

Thank you u/marindom for preserving the real ringtone. I was unable to find it anywhere else on the internet....

Multiple Reddit/Twitter/YouTube apps? Here's a hack to return the app selection screen...

In Android 12, Google decided users shouldn't be given a choice for which app to open links in. For example, every YouTube link leads to the YouTube app unless you download an alternative client like NewPipe, then fiddle around in Android's settings to allow NewPipe to accept every YouTube link. (And then YouTube no longer accepts links.)

Luckily, there's an easy-ish solution: the open source UntrackMe
