Anyone know of an alarm clock app where the alarm turns off by itself after a minute? For shabbos/yt

Xtreme alarm is the best.
The function is called autodismiss, by me 25 sec

NoRoot Firewall

It will ask every app whether allowed on the internet and if Data or only Wi-Fi.

You'd be surprised at how many apps that do NOT need internet try to...

Any app that allows you to play files from your phone and is Android auto compatible? Currently I just beyondpod and created a virtual podcast with a local folder. But the app has been very glitchy recently
Musicolet is far and away the best audio player I’ve used for local files.
It’s also fully free

Doesn't allow you to add the download folder and that's where my audio is downloaded to

Is that a new android restriction?
I used to download into it all the time…

I guess you’d need a file manager and move them to a folder that it has access to?

I suppose. That's another step though. Beyondpod turned the download folder into a "podcast"

Not in the Gmail app. In some other email apps you can.

In Gmail, Mobile Signature is (unfortunately) separate.

Boldbeast recorder is a great call recorder, that usually works even on the newer Android versions. (I think it's better to download the apk online (search google - its on the boldbeast site) I forgot exactly what but it has better features.
App cloner is only available online (not play store) but has really cool features and customizations.
Button mapper can a great app - you can set functions for you volume buttons (or other buttons on your phone - but not power) or external buttons based on long press, double press, regular press.
Lucky Patcher can disable ads in your apps (my favorite feature), it can easily change app permissions, clone apps, backup apps, fake in app purchases, and more. If you don't think it's right to use, I'm not forcing you :).
Tasker is a sick app that can automate a ton of things on your phone, but it's a paid app.
LADB is great for anyone who wants to run ADB commands on your phone without root. It costs $2.99 but the source code is free on Github (or download from APKPure if that's your thing).

Anyone know a screen recording app that stops recording by Simply  pressing a notification?  Not a button inside the notification. Simply press a simple notification to stop the recording.

I think AZ Screen Recorder does that. It has buttons in the notification, but just pressing the notification itself also stops the recording.

I am using an old Android as an MP3 player, blocking the Internet capabilities. What other useful apps are there to put on (before I block the internet) besides for music player?
Thanks!
