This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Rules 1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer. 2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars. 3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong.

| HowTo: Downloading Reddit+Youtube+Pornhub+etc Videos on Android with 2 Clicks Posted: 16 May 2020 03:38 PM PDT HowTo download videos with just 2 clicks (edit: ROOT NEEDED) In this Post i will show you how you can download videos from reddit & other websites in 2 clicks. At the End of this Howto you will be able to download (almost) any Video on Reddit and other websites / apps. What we will do in this Howto:
Let's Start ;) !As the first step, we need to install Termux from the Playstore (or somewhere else). Termux is an App that gives you access to a commando console on your android phone. Using Termux, we can install things and configurate them - exactly what we gonna need! So head over to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux with your Android phone and install Termux. You can too search for "Termux" on the Playstore - that will lead you to the same installation page. After you did that, we need to configure Termux so it will run our command that then will automatically download the Video. First, we need to give Termux access to our Device Storage with this command: run this command inside Termux. If you're on a newer Android Version, this should open up a popup which asks you if you will give Termux access to your device storage. Press yes in this Popup - this will give Termux access to your files. then we gonna need to install python.. to do that, run this command in Termux: Termux will ask you if you really want to install python.. enter "y" (without the ") in your keyboard and hit enter. if python is installed, we need to also install cURL and ffmpeg. install them the same way you did python (pkg install curl, pkg install ffmpeg). after you have done this, we need to install youtube-dl. youtube-dl needs all the other programs we just have installed to work.. and by using youtube-dl, we can download videos from youtube, pornhub, reddit and a ton of other websites. we install youtube-dl by running the following command: this command will install youtube-dl on your smartphone. now we need to configure Termux to use youtube-dl to download the videos we want. this is the home directory of Termux in which all it's settings & files are stored. now, navigate into the new created .config folder and create an folder named youtube-dl and navigate into it. we now need to create a new file named "config" (not config.txt !). to do this, you can use your file browser. then you need to put this text into the config file with a texteditor of your choice: this tells Termux which video format it should search for & where it should download it to. the folder storage/shared/Download/ inside the termux folder will lead to ./storage/emulated/0/Download on your phone. But since every Android Phone haves a different folder structure, this can be different on your phone. here you just need to try out where the folder will lead you to. or you choose a different download folder where youtube-dl will put the downloaded videos to. Explaination: Reddit Videos are often in the "dash-VIDEO-1" format, this means that we want youtube-dl to search exactly for this format as the first choice. That's why we did put it as the first selection in our command. And because we want the best audio quality.. we use the selection "bestaudio". But there are cases where video's on reddit don't have audio.. so we have a choice for that case too in our command. If youtube-dl can't find a video format dash-VIDEO-1 (with or without audio), we tell youtube-dl to just download the best video format it can find. That can be webm, gif, mp4 or something else. In my experience, this selection of video formats is more than enough for reddit & a lot of other websites. we now can save the file & go back into the termux home directory ( /data/data/com.termux/files/home/ ). now we create a new folder (if not already existing) called "bin" and navigate into it. in this new folder, we need to create a new file called "termux-url-opener"". you can again use your file browser for this like you have done it before in this guide. in the termux-url-opener your now input this: and then you save the file. Now we are done & we can use your new Feature!To do this, go as an example inside the Reddit Boost App and click on a video you want to download. Instead of clicking download, you now press share link. Now a new Popup opens with a list of Apps you can share the link to. Choose here the Termux App. After clicking on the Termux Icon, Termux should open itself and start downloading the video into the folder you choosed above in the guide. After the download is done, Termux closes itself and you should be in the Boost App again. You can now navigate with your File Browser App of your choice into your download folder and can see the video Termux downloaded for you. You now can share the Video with your Friends on Discord, Whatsapp.. or where ever you want. Important:The same way you just downloaded a video inside the Boost App, you can too download Videos from inside the Youtube App or from Pornhub & other Websites who have videos embedded into them. If you use the Chrome App, you can use the share function the same way you did in the Boost App. By using this HowTo, you now can easy download Videos with 2 clicks. Enjoy. background information about this guide: i wrote this howto in first place as a workaround for a bug inside the reddit boost app & other reddit apps for android. this bug corrupted the downloaded video files - the downloaded video files had no "video duration" and a lot of social networks and video plattforms didn't accepted this video files when you tried to share them with your friends. and since there is no bugfix yet and i doubt there will be soon.. i decided to find a workaround for this issue. so this guide is mostly for downloading reddit videos, but works too for pornhub, youtube etc. [link] [comments] | ||

| FYI - USB-C Pixel Buds are $15 on Overstock Posted: 16 May 2020 01:15 PM PDT $30 + S&H on Google's website and I wasn't interested, but $15 and free shipping on Overstock dot com and that's an impulse-buy from me. [link] [comments] | ||

| Huawei AppGallery had links to sites like APKPure, company doesn't know why Posted: 16 May 2020 05:11 AM PDT Somebody put links to sites likes APKPure and APKFollow for downloading apps like Revolut and H&M. (See screenshots) I asked Huawei about this, and the Belgian Head of PR said he made notice of it internally, but hasn't an answer... Huawei AppGallery does the same for apps like Facebook and WhatsApp, but at least those links are to the official websites. (I first reported this for my blog Tandem Tech, you can read the article in Dutch here.) [link] [comments] | ||
