Better Internet Tiles vs Private Lock
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Better Internet Tiles
NOTE: This app requires shell access, which can be granted using either Shizuku or root. This application aims to create a unified internet quick-settings tile, which is actually useful (I'm looking at you, Android 12). Next to this, separate Wi-Fi and mobile data tiles are also available if you just want to go back to the behaviour of Android 11 or lower. Tapping the new unified internet tile will simply toggle between Wi-Fi and mobile data, which is exactly what I want it to do most of the time. This reduces the amount of taps needed from 3 (tap tile, disable wifi, enable data) to just 1 quick tap. In situations where you still want more control, long pressing the tile will redirect you to the relevant settings page.
Private Lock
A simple app to automatically lock your phone based on movement force, or the acceleration to be more accurate. Private Lock can help protect your privacy and security by monitoring the accelerometer in the background and if the threshold is breached, lock the screen. The main use cases are if your phone is taken while you're using it, or you drop your phone. As an additional bonus, it can also help save wear and tear on your power button! Inspired by the abandoned [https://github.com/0xFireball/PluckLockEx PluckLockEx] project, which is based on [https://github.com/SyntaxBlitz/PluckLock PluckLock].
