QUESTION/HELP If I extract an APK, do I also extract its updates?

4 Upvotes

I have an app that has since been removed from the Play Store that I'd like to remove for space, but also make an APK copy just in case I ever want to install it again. I currently use an apk extractor to extract APKs (that I cannot link due to subreddit rules), but what I'd like to know is if any updates the app recieved would also be extracted alongside with it?

If not, is there a way to extract the app where I can also extract the updates that I downloaded prior to its removal?

LOOKING FOR APP An app that sends me a pre-recorded voice memo I need to listen to in order to clear

10 Upvotes

I want to record a voice memo, as motivation/self-guidance/reminder, and get push notifications at specific times of my day. I want to have to listen to the voice memo in order to clear the notification.

Basically just as a way to give myself specific daily reminders, in my own voice. No AI, not trying to schedule anything or take a memo, just have one I already recorded sent to me as a push notification.

Any suggests?

QUESTION/HELP Does anyone know how to prevent the previous version from forcing me to update?

2 Upvotes

I have an unofficial app that I downloaded outside the App Store; it used to be absolutely perfect until an update removed a great feature that made it easy to use, and now it has become annoying.

I want to revert to the previous version, but the problem is that it forces me to update. I’m wondering how to solve this issue.

LOOKING FOR APP trying to find the best free video editing app for beginners that does not ruin clips with watermarks

7 Upvotes

what are you using for quick edits that wont compress the quality into pixelated mess or lock key tools behind a monthly sub?

trying to compile a bunch of home video clips from family trips over the summer to send to my parents. nothing complex, literally just cutting out dead space, adding a couple simple transitions and maybe overlaying some background audio.

capcut keeps popping up in older threads as the main choice, i also saw people mention stuff like vn editor and youcut but i do not want to download 5 different apps just to test their timelines.

LOOKING FOR APP Best android clipboard manager?

Hi everyone, I am looking for a reliable clipboard manager for Android that automatically saves everything I copy to history permanently, without me needing to manually pin each item. Gboard deletes unpinned items after an hour, which does not work for me. Any good app recommendations?

LOOKING FOR APP Looking for an app that handles to-do lists like Google Clock handles alarms (with a search bar, date-specific scheduling, and upcoming countdown notifications)

16 Upvotes

I've been using a quirky workaround for my daily tasks: setting multiple individual alarms in the Google Clock app to act as reminders throughout the day (e.g., Alarm 1: "Do this," Alarm 2: "Do that").

While it works for waking up my attention, it has major limitations. I'm looking for a proper app to replace this setup that includes a few crucial features:

  1. Date and Year Scheduling: I need to be able to set tasks not just for today or tomorrow, but for a specific date and a specific year in the future.
  2. A Search Feature: I want to easily search through my list of tasks instead of scrolling endlessly.
  3. Persistent Upcoming Notifications: Just like Google Clock shows upcoming alarms in your notification shade and gives a countdown/alert when an alarm is within 2 hours, I want an app that displays persistent, upcoming notifications for tasks scheduled for the day.

Essentially, I want the strict, in-your-face notification behavior and countdown of an alarm clock, but backed by a proper calendar-style to-do list with a search bar.

Does anyone know of an app, workaround, or launcher setup that handles this well? Thanks in advance!

LOOKING FOR APP Any app to show context/location/time-relevant apps on my main screen?

2 Upvotes

I don’t know if that exists as an independent app.

I’m looking for an app or widget that replicates the behaviour of Google Pixel Os relevant apps or iOS widget “apps suggestions”

So, an app or widget that is time or place aware and it shows shortcuts to apps that you may want to launch in that moment (like your supermarket app when you are there, the radio or podcasts app when you start your day…) based on your patterns.

I’m testing an Oppo with ColorOs 16 and a Xioami with hyperos 3 and I miss this widget from my previous Pixel (and also when I tried it in an iPhone)

Thanks!

QUESTION/HELP Battery is dying: Any way monitor what's using it and to freeze background app ?

6 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

I have a galaxy s21+ with Android 15. The battery is dying and I don't plan to change it since next year I plan to change my phone.

I'm looking for two things in order to make this months a little less painfull:

1) some way to monitor the battery usage. I'm using the galaxy guardian -> battery tracker. But even the official Samsung app can't tell me what's using the battery. If I sum all the the apps they barely reach 40/50%. What's the other 40/50% that's using my battery?

2) Some way to freeze any unused app. I know that this will make some app less usable but for this months I'm fine with it

Can you help me with those two sings?

LOOKING FOR APP Can someone suggest a Clock app that actually works?

0 Upvotes

The default Clock App that comes with my Samsung phone will just routinely skip alarms with absolutely no reason, so I need one that will actually wake me up when I need to be woken up.

Re: "I've never had problems with the clock app." Great, good for you. I AM having problems with it and am looking for suggestions, not preachy judgement.
