As for turning Location off altogether (through settings or the status drawer shortcuts), this is something I don’t want to do since several apps start complaining or not working (Weather apps etc).

However, when your goal is to set new standards and reshape an entire industry, you’re looking at a l…

I don’t think there is any special manual for the Camera App, however yes A always indicates automatic. There are some short video tutorials on Instagram that might provide some information.

I assume you already tested the Pro Mode of the installed App where you can set ISO, White Balance, AF etc manually? There is no other way then testing a bit what suits you best, one likes an app for some reason, another one another app for another reason. Apologies, without a bit of reading and testing it will be difficult to find what you are searching for. In my eyes the quality is good enough in good lightning conditions and I think what one finds good enough is quite subjective… Here an e…

Just checked the Simple Mobile Tools contacts app and I can create groups and either put a new contact directly in it or also add all other contacts to it later.

Btw the Simple Mobile Tools Apps are all available as Pro Version “for free” in the F-Droid Store
