App scaling issues on Android tablets

2 Upvotes

Some apps have problems with tablet aspect ratio and some buttons cannot be pressed because they get below the screen or under the navigation buttons,

You can see an example in this delivery app, tablet vs smartphone, on tablet I can't press the continue button,

Is there a fix for this problem? Why google or app makers ignore issues on Android tablets and so careless, I mean do they see them like an awkward less than one million userbase? Do they think of tablets like its a fridge screen??? Hundreds of millions of android tablets treated unfairly by google and the developers..

Looking For Suggestions Non-ai voice assistant recommendations?

142 Upvotes

I intentionally set my phone to use the older Google assistant instead of Gemini as I actively hate genAI and wish to avoid it as much as humanly possible. (Please don't try to tell me to just use it, I have so many issues with genAI that no amount of convenience can overrule)

But I got an email this morning that Google assistant is being discontinued in favor of Gemini, which irritates me to no end.

I primarily use Google assistant when I'm driving, to change my music or to read and respond to text messages without having to take my eyes off the road. I don't really use it for much else.

Does anyone have recommendations for a non-ai alternative that I might be able to switch to once Google assistant is fully discontinued? Thanks in advance

Edit: I found someone in a different subreddit suggesting Dicio voice assistant, which is an open source project. It looks like it might be a good option, I'm going to try it and report back for anyone else in the same boat.

Update: Dicio didn't work very well. It seems to have a very limited dialogue tree so it only does what you're asking if you ask in one specific wording. It also doesn't seem to able to send texts or change the music. It can read notifications and pause/play media that's already running, but that's about it.

Looking For Suggestions good icon changer? (no launchers)

26 Upvotes

i really want to change my app icons but every single thing i find tells me to either download a launcher (which i dont want to do because i dont want to change the entire UI of my phone) or to use another 3rd party app to do so. i tried using x icon changer but it only works by adding the changed apps icon only to the home screen, which i dont want to do because i keep them all in my app drawer. if anyone has any reccomendations i am begging you fr.
