That’s incorrect, Graphene OS has Android Auto support.

I was very disappointed with the (default) Camera after switching to Graphene, luckily you can just download the Pixel Camera (including all the Pixel optimizations) from Play Store on Graphene OS or download it as an APK bundle from some other sites (downloading the normal APK won’t work, it has to be the bundle).

I believe WhatsApp needs the mobile app to connect to WhatsApp’s servers at least once every two weeks.

I think your best bet would be getting the cheapest phone you can find that will run a recent WhatsApp version, and then just leaving that at home connected to the internet. You could then use any WhatsApp web client (the website, some app, a matrix bridge, …) to actually use WhatsApp on the go.

I highly recommend transcoding all your videos with ffmpeg, for me that reduces their size to anything from 10% - 25% of the original (100MB -> 20MB). I always use this command:

ffmpeg input.mp4 -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 ouput.mp4

(This will strip metadata, I was too lazy to figure out how to make it keep metadata). What I also do for most videos is turn them all into 1080p30 if they aren’t already.

You can ask ChatGPT to make you a small script to apply that command to all files in a folder, I can’t remember how to do it off the top of my head.

Edit: for linux run this in the folder with your videos:

for file in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 "${file%.*}_transcoded.mp4"; done

My phone’s at like 120/128 GB, I have 70 to 80 GB in apps, 90% of which I haven’t openened in the last year. But you better believe I’m not deleting those apps, cuz a) I still have pleeeenty of space and b) what if I need them some day.

It’s currently in early development and I don’t know how well it works, but Xournal++ mobile is a thing. Its desktop app is really good, so I’d expect the mobile app to eventually get there aswell.

Edit: Whoops skipped the drawing part, Xournal++ is more for note-taking. Krita is a good choice for drawing.

I really wanted to switch to Cuda, but there are a few small features missing which is super infuriating to me.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head right now though.

For a while I tried tagging my memes (Samsung Gallery lets you make tags and assign as many to any image as you want), but that lasted about two days.

If you’re ok with using your tablet as a drawing tablet with your PC, I use an app called Virtual Tablet for that. Sadly it appears to be Windows and MacOS only, but a quick search led to Weylus. I have no idea how well this works and never tried it, but from the readme it sounds pretty good.

I use Transistor for internet radio, but I imagine it should work for your use case too.

For dealing with .docx files I would recommend OnlyOffice. It’s a FOSS office suite, but unlike LibreOffice, it uses the .docx format natively.

I read a comment about this a while ago, but basically under the hood LibreOffice does everything in .odt etc. and it has to convert the files first, which can lead to the format breaking. The same goes for OnlyOffice and .odt files, as it only uses .docx etc. under the hood.

Proxigram is like bibliogram. You can use one of their public instances

OpenStreetMaps editors have satellite maps (ie. Vespucci for Android). I don’t know of any standalone apps, but i never really searched for them either.

Hm, must be a OneUI thing then

Miracast is pretty good, but I don’t think it supports DRM-content. Also it seems to be getting phased out in favor of chromecast.

My Android 12 Samsung phone can show me all duplicate files right in the android storage settings
