Yeah, I would just use Connected to Car BT?
I have so many ideas but so little time to properly look into Kotlin and Android dev :/
Some other ideas I had:
I presume your phone can’t enter deepsleep if it’s not in Standby. I’m not that knowledgeable on that topic but another point (that might be practically the same thing) is AFAIK your CPU and GPU can’t shutdown, as your phone is still on and rendering a black image.
The newer Sony Xperias sound like a good fit for you. I haven’t used one myself, but they’re pretty decent from what I can gather.
Also it seems as if Sony is the only phone manufacturer shipping flagships with headphone jacks and SD card slots.
On another note, I highly recommend the GSMarena Phone Finder for getting a general selection of phones that have the features you care about.
HoleyLight sounds like what you’re searching for. I’ve never personally tried it though.
I got this a few days ago. Previously I was using Geometric Weather, but then in Feb or so it got stuck. I’m very happy that this app (or rather the fork) is now maintained again!
I’d recommend just taking an hour or so to scroll through all of the recently updated apps, I found a ton of super cool small “utility apps” that way.
The units can be adjusted in Settings > Appearance > Units, or are you missing options there?
From what I can see Blockinger had its last commit 11 years ago. While it’s not on F-Droid (still FOSS though), my Tetris clone of choice is Falling Lightblocks. One super cool feature is 2 player competitive on one device using 2 game controllers.
On Samsung phones Samsung Gamelauncher Gaming Hub gives you the option to mute all game audio, but I’m afraid this is a Samsung exclusive feature.
Another feature I have on my Galaxy S10 is the ability to set different outputs for apps, ie. “bad sounds” from some app to phone speakers (which are muted), and the rest to my Bluetooth headphones.
On my phone this feature is called “Separate app sound” and is located in Settings > Sounds and vibration > Separate app sound. It might also be a Samsung exclusive though.
Edit: I have yet another, sadly probably Samsung exclusive, solution. Samsung Sound Assistant let’s you set a different volume for each app (like Windows volume mixer).
I believe it’s all Pixels, but definitely the Pixel 6 family do not support DP alt mode (DisplayPort over USB-C).
If you want a Dock with video output, you have to get one that is DisplayLink compatible and I believe also install the DisplayLink app.
You’re probably not wrong, but the Gear VR ecosystem is quite specific and most “general” subs wouldn’t apply to it, so I’m hoping to spread some knowledge about it this way (so that it isn’t all guarded by spez).
Hm using Tasker for this is actually a really good idea, thanks!
