  • Magisk had some incompatibility issues with lsposed-zygisk, which nearly resulted in losing my phone in a permanent bootloop, but I fixed it by flashing some images.

    I now use Apatch on my Mi 10, running xiaomi.eu HyperOS 1

    PS. I even tried KSU, by compiling a kernel for my phone after watching a ~40minute video on Portuguese with english automated subtitles, lol. Apatch has a much smoother procedure than that and kinda has the benefits of KSU.



  • I switched to DroidFS from EDS lite (a kinda dead open source alternative) few months ago. It’s soooo nice.

    I think it’s the first app that can open a big video without allocating that space in internal storage. Previously, if I had a 1gb encrypted video, apps would decrypt it in internal storage and play it, temporarily taking up an extra gigabyte (this was an issue if I didn’t have enough space).

    I’m using gocryptfs because I actually kinda like seeing the file structured, in case I need to delete a folder or file without decrypting the storage, and I can decrypt those files on pc too (I think both windows and linux have an app for this).










  • Offline, right?

    As long as you set Load remote content to never😅 (I think when this is turned on it loads stuff like images and such from wikipedia etc. which take unecessary cache space, so I leave it off).

    About the english wiktionary, oi… it’s huge (for comparison, the greek one is ~200mb).

    I don’t know if there’s a less complex version available anywhere… Maybe try creating an issue on aard2 github page. They seem to be active in general (btw, they also run an ftp server where they store ~all the dictionaries you see on github of multiple verions.) Also take a look here on the other projects, maybe you’ll find something useful (I’m taking a look at it now).

    As an extra topic, have you managed to convert wordnet dictionaries to .slob from pyglossary? I have found some ancient tools on github, but never made it (possibly you need to code some stuff).



  • Both. Wordnet does english to english (it provides description and really lots of synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, derived related forms), while wiktionaries can translate whatever language to the language of the wiktionary you’ve downloaded and it provides you description, congugation, synonyms etc.

    You can even download the wikipedia dictionary separately which downloads all the articles of wikipedia of a specific lamguage locally to search them with the app.


  • One of the best apps out there. (Helps me a lot since I don’t use auto-correct/auto-suggestion and I try to read books in English.)

    I use the English wordnet and the Greek wiktionary provided by their github page.

    It’s good for 4 uses:

    1. Translating words (whatever language to greek with wiktionary)

    2. Explaining words (english to english with wordnet or greek to greek wit wiktionary)

    3. Cheking the conjugation of various words (with wiktionary)

    4. Helping me with spelling for words I have hard time (using both wordnet and wiktionary)

    The fact that it is online makes it much much faster than anything else. (In the past I would search them on ddgo and it would take time.)
