I really want something that can auto-programmaticaly cut a perfect loop from shorter audio samples
If I was on Android (which I’m not) I would want an Android clone of Apple Shortcuts/Automations, I literally wouldnt buy or daily drive something I couldnt metaprogram to do all the niche little oddities I have mine do and continually add to
Edit: looks like Tasker is the closest Android equivalent to Apple Shortcuts

There’s a nifty simple FOSS app called SOS Flashlight, that translates your text into Morse Code, to be flashed via flashlight, the screen, and/or emitted as beeps.
It would be neat if it could actually detect and decode the flashing codes from another device though.
I currently have the SOS Flashlight app set to emit Morse Code for this message from our sponsors…
“We have been trying to reach you regarding your vehicle’s extended warranty.”
Something that would let me actually control when I receive notifications
Can you give an example?
I mean, what I have is kinda permanent but it’s not perfect.
I want an app that will let me remote control my phone while in VR, without having to let the app on the phone that needs to run having access to shit it does not need at all. I’ve only found one app to remote into the phone and it wants permission types I’ve never even seen any other app ask for, and giving it that permission breaks a bunch of other apps.
I thought there would be a built in solution for this, maybe in the dev tools for Android, but those don’t let you remote into the phone like Remote Desktop for PC; it just lets you send command line commands to it from a terminal.
If you run Linux then there is KDEconnect phone app, you have permissions and access stuff on phone end and PC end. I.e. I can SMS from my desktop, or use they keyboard input for phone, access phone folders, copy clipboard between them etc.
There is a Windows app but I find it really poor and broken, compared to the Linux app.
Hook up 2-3 screens, a keyboard and mouse and install Linux.
Well if you have various phone models that support display over the USB port, then you can plug the phone into a PC dock and you will get the screens, keyboard and mouse working. If you need a Linux terminal you can setup Termux.
Samsung’s flagship have DEX mode when you dock and you get a full Desktop experience, many versions back it was a Linux environment… Now its a more closed android desktop, but still great for travelling light and connecting for work stuff where ah hotel or office has workspaces.
Something like google assistant phone control, but local, open source, compatible with most fdroid apps. Dicio isn’t there yet.
Also something that uses google/apple car screen connection without the google /apple part.
