I've been learning modern #android development for the last month. Last time i did android development was about 10 years ago, and a lot has changed since then:
* #Kotlin is now used as the programming language instead of Java
* Co-routines (a way in Kotlin to run work in threads) are used for performing GUI updates
* Jetpack #Compose is used instead of XML for creating the layouts
* Compose uses state variables to update the GUI in a declarative way
* Room has been added as a way to access SQLite databases

Neo Launcher is a free and open-source customisable launcher for Android
Apart from many of the usual customisations, Neo Launcher also The Dash, and can handle categories or folder in the app drawer.
Being true open source, the app is not available on the Google App Store, so you can get it from F-Droid store or directly from the Github project site (as over 76,000 other users have done).

Having had two dry(ish) days in #BannauBrycheiniog, it is not surprising that that the third was wet and not by a little. I usually like using my paper maps and #DeadReckoning to #navigate my way around a new place but I forgot to bring my compass on this occasion and so I had to revert to #GPS (don't tell anyone else) in order to find #SugarLoaf near #Abergavenny. I couldn't see much else but at least our #hike was 12 km and so it was still worth it.
Here I am surrounded by #ferns trying to figure out where I should go in the #rain and #fog.

So langsam brauche ich mal ein neues #Tablet. Muss nicht mal ein ganz neues sein, aber auf eins lege ich wert: auf einen großen Akku! Da bin ich verwöhnt vom damaligen Nexus 10, das über 10000 mAh aufweisen konnte. Kennt sich einer aus und weiß, welche Tablets einen ähnlich großen Akku haben? Nur #Android, kein Apple.

If you want to install Google apps on your custom ROM phone, this is how to do it
Many install custom ROMs on their Android phones to escape Google, but there are also many using custom ROMs on, for example, Huawei phones that don’t come with Google pre-installed. But as Android users you have the option to, or not.
There are also more variants than just the GApps suite itself, such as Open GApps, NikGApps, FlameGApps, and more. The linked article is a good guide to the various options you have, and why you may want to consider them.
