Better Internet Tiles vs Smart Gadget
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.
Smart Gadget
The Sensirion Smart Gadget app allows you to establish a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connection to your Sensirion Smart Gadget. The app displays the current temperature and relative humidity values measured by the integrated sensors. Up to seven Smart Gadgets can be connected simultaneously. The Smart Gadget is open hardware and runs open source firmware. Smart Gadget Hardware Smart Gadget Firmware Gadget from DigiKey Smart Gadget from Mouser
