/r/Android is looking for new moderators!

Hey folks, so it's been over 5 months since /r/Android went dark in protest of Reddit's API changes. After this subreddit came back online, many users and moderators migrated over to a Lemmy instance created and run by several community members.

However, this subreddit didn't die. While things were slow at ...

Biggest Android annoyances that have still not been addressed

1. Clipboard access:
Any app can read the clipboard, which may contain sensitive content such as passwords. This is a major security risk. They added an alert with Android 12, but there is still no native GUI to deny apps the read clipboard per...

2) The ability to use Samsung's "swipe from bottom" navigation gestures.

Fortunately, Samsung is rolling out an update to NavStar, the Good Lock module that lets you customize navigation, that brings back the setting to hide the gesture hint as well as...
