New essential Android apps thread

I suggest changing over to Fossify Gallery. Simple was bought out and no longer open source, and started to inject ads to some of the apps. Fossify is a fork of the last open sourced version and stays open source.

Downloaded, thanks!
 
Can someone check if Betfair, Betfair Exchange, Skybet etc are available for them on the Google Play Store please?

I can't seem to find any of these anymore!
 
Anyone know if it's easily possible to change the icons used for notifications of each app? I used to use spark for my emails, but they stupidly use an icon that's almost identical to maps, so when I'm using sat nav and that icon is up, I keep thinking I have emails. And now I've swapped emails to em clientand of course the icon has to look just like WhatsApp so I keep thinking I have a new message when it's just email.

I doubt it's possible to change but sure would like to have control of this.

Don't think it's possible as it's up to the app developer. I can see why you would get mixed up though, Spark does look similar to Map's GPS icon, and eM's shape looks more like a messenger icon.

Thunderbird is more of a standard rectangle envelope icon, but looking at what Spark and eM offers it lacks the features you're probably using.

Em client is amazing for one reason. I have wanted for years the ability to login and have all my accounts instantly ready on my mobile. I jsut scan the bar code and don't it's logged in, all my tags, my filters, auto replies, signatures, ready in a split second. Reloading all your email accounts into a new phone was one of my biggest problems when I got a new phone
 
Hi guys,

I currently use an app called 'Search Duplicate File', which I note is no longer available on the PlayStore. I think I checked in about a year ago and there hadn't been an update in a while!

It's great little app; helps rid me of duplicates, left overs etc. I also like the empty folder delete option. I recently used it on my old tab and managed to clear about 10GB of junk!

Anyway, the longer it goes on unsupported, the twitchier I get about security etc... I've got the .apk saved but is there anything comparable and supported on the PlayStore that could, in time, replace it? Paid or otherwise. - not big on app subs though.

Thanks!

I've had a quick search for that one and the best I could find is this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/needjava/search-duplicate-file-sdf/ is that the correct one? it looks decent enough ;) not had a proper test myself though yet.
 
Does anyone know of an app where you can animate a photo and add music and speech to it, just for kicks / comedy? I used to do it with Disney characters with 2 apps, called Talking Photos and Wombo.ai. Talking Photos was great for a few years, then it got taken over by another company and it became a resource hog and made it too slow to use. Wombi.ai was a subs-based app, £21/year. The 1st year was great, paid for the 2nd year, then the app no longer opened and it turned out that Wombo has withdrawn that particular app, replacing Wombo.ai with Wombo Dream. This to me seems like cheating as people are out of pocket, so I refuse to use Wombo again out of principle.

I'd be interested in something like this too.

I used a Snapchat filter a couple of years ago to animate some pictures but the music wasn't configurable and I've not been able to find it since :rolleyes:

Wombo.ai was amazing, really funny to get your friend's photos and have them look like they're blasting out some rubbish tune :D I'd forgotten all about it until now. MTA99 might be on to something, I think Snapchat is the way to go right now. Have a search through the filters and see if anything comes up?

I believe SD Maid can search for duplicates, although I've not used that app in years. A quick look it still gets updates.

I e just looked at SD Maid. Not used that in years. It's now SDMaidS/E. For newer Android versions. My old problem doesn't transfer. Nice little note saying after 12 years of free updates it doesn't transfer.
