Hey all, got some questions.

I see in F-Droid that there are "launchers" for android, and they seem to change the appearance of the dashboard.

1. Does a device have to be rooted to use these?
2. Do these replace the original, or can I swap back and forth?
3. Does vanilla Android foul up after one uses these? As in, did it move something around/change something and
4. Would it void my warranty?
5. Can one switch back and forth?

I feel like I have others...

Any recommendations for an #fdroid based #pdf reader for #android

I want to keep #Adobe at arms length

I'm looking for advice on #Android security.

I have someone whose phone was detected by Microsoft Intune as being "rooted". This detection happened for 1 day. In addition to InTune classifying the device as "rooted", Microsoft Teams refused to work on that day.

After a reboot, the device was no longer detected as "rooted" and Microsoft Teams ran.

I do not understand how InTune makes it determination but have read that some "beta" apps may cause this kind of detection.

The user is technically sophisticated and definitely did not root their device. The likelihood of someone else having access and rooting the phone (stalkerware) are low.

What can we do to assess this phone?

The user is prepared to wipe the device, but we both want to learn and understand what occurred.

New #mastodon user, what's the best client to use on #android? The PWAs don't seem too amazing (not able to move the sidebar to the right or collapse it??), currently testing out the #moshidon app which seems pretty cool.

Also #hello all!
