  • universal-android-debloater

    Cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB to debloat non-rooted android devices. Improve your privacy, the security and battery life of your device.

  • I was able to unlock it from the carrier easily enough, but there was still a lot of junk on there. Enter Universal Android Debloater, which lets you uninstall packages, even if they're baked in and you're phone's not rooted. It's basically a nicer way to do some adb command line shenanigans.

  • Simple-Music-Player

    A clean music player with a customizable widget, stylish interface and no ads.

  • The Simple Mobile Tools apps for some basic functions (dialer, calendar, contacts, clock, calculator), etc.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • TapTap

    Port of the double tap on back of device feature from Android 12 to any Android 7.0+ device

  • As an alternative I installed Tap tap and now I have a double tap action that switches the flashlight... A bit of hit and miss, but still better than the quick setting switch

  • KeyMapper

    **DEVELOPMENT STOPPED**.📱 An Android app that change what the buttons do on your devices!

  • I never got much out of Easer, but I did come across Key Mapper, which lets you assign actions to button presses. I set up a mapping so that a double-click on volume down will activate the flashlight. Not quite as cool, but it's a pretty decent alternative.
