Telegram VS SpotiFlyer

Also, if you want to go hardcore: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram

Compare https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commits/main with https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/commits/master

Here's a good example https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/ChatActivity.java

Forkgram have more features, but not a fork of Telegram-FOSS, is based on official source witch can contain some proprietary blobs

For a couple of updates already I've been noticing this behavior on my Android phone. Telegram support has been silent unsurprisingly, so I've considered opening an issue directly on github, but repo for android client doesn't allow this. I'm out of ideas how to bring attention to this, because I know other android users with the same issue so it's not user-specific

I see this huge C++ file and I raise you a Java file that's so enormous github refuses to render it: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...

— Do not use checkboxes and radio buttons in cells. Due to the complex xml structure and internal layers coloring, simple initialization of the checkbox on old phones took a very long time. As a solution, either use the checkbox images (but then they will be without animation), or use a custom checkbox, as for example telegram uses https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/Components/CheckBoxSquare.java Made by analogy on kotlin: https://github.com/ivan200/buyer/blob/master/app/src/main/java/app/simple/buyer/util/views/CheckBoxSquare.kt

There are also other ones like Powertube, Seal, Tubemate, SpotiFlyer(for music). Use whichever one you like.

Oh, the Spotiflyer isn't working; issue discussion

Alternative way would be : download Spotify pc app and then going to liked songs and selecting it all and then it will show icon to create playlist go ahead and create. Then you can use Spotiflyer copy the playlist link and then paste it spotiflyer and hit download entire playlist

> considering I don't want "missing" songs ever.

If that's your criteria, you'll probably never be satisfied with a licensed streaming service. Maybe YouTube Music?

I use Spotify alongside an offline library of backed up, obscure songs that aren't on there or have been removed. It's not a perfect system (and I'm regularly enticed to go fully-local), but I'm fairly happy with it. Dump all your liked songs into a public playlist, and Spotiflyer[0] will attempt to back up those tracks. Hopefully that helps!
