I’m currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I’m currently out of ideas, so I’d like to heard if from you guys.
Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.
I want to crop screenshots easily :(
Check “Image Toolbox” on fdroid
Thx but it is not as fast as “markup” or huawei’s screenshot tool. You need multiple steps in order to crop a simple image.
What android OS do you use? On stock Android 14 (GrapheneOS, but it’s not a GOS feature) this functionality is built into the stock screenshot tool.
pwr+voldown -> tap screenshot that appears in the overlay after you take it -> tap the crop tool . I suppose step three could be removed but what if you want to do something that isn’t cropping? There are lots of other features so at some point you have to tell the tool what you want to do.
Grapheneos. Do you mean “markup”? Look in the “apps” app for it. It’s a proprietary app by google
No, I don’t have markup installed (it is there in apps but not installed from the mirror).
I think in my case the screenshot functionality is built into AOSP and the editor you get when tapping the resulting preview overlay in the lower left corner of the screen is part of the “gallery” app since using the “edit” feature from gallery launches the same editor. Maybe GrapheneOS just sets that as the default editor, I’m not sure.
Which gallery are you using? fossify?
AOSP gallery that comes with GrapheneOS. The app info says it’s called
com.android.gallery3d. There’s some info here in the docs about the relationship between camera, edit functions, and the gallery app.Thx.
I don’t have a dedicated gallery app or editor installed. I can’t find anything in apps either besides markup. Maybe my installation is too old.
