@teaHead74 Terrain3D is your best bet at this time, if it matches your requirements.

@BeatTakeshi they appear to be different architecture versions of 3.7.0

I was confused too since Droid-ify didn't seem to list the architecture of the versions, and while it did download the latest version that's 49MB, it didn't install because it's x86_64 apk, which won't install on arm64(-v8a).

@Lauchmelder a Pi Hole should be enough imo.

@Davriellelouna entirely plausible these days, unfortunately.

@maltfield Here's another example of I'm guessing Daniel, being an asswipe towards someone that had a genuine concern with the 'apocalyptic' way GrapheneOS tends to exaggerate their messages. It's clear from that sentence that "the final version of GrapheneOS" is not intended to be referring to some 24-hour support or whatever they tried to explain later in the thread.

https://mstdn.io/@eskuero/114824540277758406

Notice the loaded words in the thread, "extreme", "misrepresenting", "lying", and so on. That user wasn't fucking lying or misrepresenting, they were genuinely concerned after reading that stupidly-written message on their Matrix.

There's a boatload of threads like these where the GOS account jumps to people's throats with a knife for the smallest things.

Write something that may not be entirely true, perhaps you've heard some rumor or whatever somewhere and just want to get official news? Oops, you're lying, you're extremely misrepresenting what we wrote, please don't ever interact with us again, we'll ban you, etc.

@maltfield Here we go again, another nothing-burger that doesn't surprise me at all. I love the project, but Daniel just seems insufferable from his comments in that thread, and other, older, comments.

With all respect to him and the project, but if something as simple, as miniscule, very little drama-worthy such as a thread asking for a simple gesture feature causes him to "lose an hour of [his] work" and to make him worry about more attacks on the project, it just indicates bigger problems than just a simple focus loss due to some small issue that gained virtually ZERO interactions besides a total of four people, including Daniel and the community mod.

I get GOS has been harassed by other projects, but even mentioning a 'competing' ROM such as /e/OS or CalyxOS counts as bad behaviour and inciting harassment and this and that, it's obviously not a good look.

@arschfidel They're almost the same, save for a few things. Neo Backup supports scheduling backups. DataBackup does not.

I've tested Neo Backup a while ago, but I've settled on DataBackup instead.

Note that for DataBackup, the APK architecture that you install MUST match your device's 'primary' architecture. If it's arm64, you must install an arm64 version of DataBackup, other versions such as arm (32-bit) will not let you past the start screen, it's a limitation they've imposed, perhaps it makes sense?

Either way, DataBackup served me well for the past year that I've been using, and it's been incredibly helpful since I frequently upgrade custom ROMs or mess around, and DB hasn't failed once.

Do note that when you copy apps to be restored (e.g sending a folder from a backup server or PC to your phone, you must also copy the 'config' folder as well, otherwise the restore operation will fail).

@floofloof "TapTrap works even on the latest Android version, Android 16. We reported this issue to Google and major browser vendors in 2024. Browsers have fixed the issue as of July 2025, but Android itself remains vulnerable (see the disclosure timeline for details)."

@simop_jo Well, I've only tested Nextcloud so far on my Raspberry Pi 5, but I would definitely use Immich if I had the budget for a NAS right now.

I want the Google Photos experience, which is most likely the intended target audience for this service.

They're not really comparable IMO, different feature sets for different use cases.

Nextcloud is more like a budget Google all-in-one that has fewer features, looks and behaves differently, while dedicated services such as Immich (alternative to Google Photos), FileRun (alternative to Google Drive) aim to be the hyper-specific, ultra-seamless alternatives you can plop in and not feel that you're missing any feature, and that look and feel the same.
