Better Internet Tiles vs unofficial Stud.IP-app
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.
unofficial Stud.IP-app
The API of the system has to be enabled to use this app. You can read system-wide news, view your courses, course news, course forums, post on forums, read and write messages, view, download and upload your files and course files. You can also view Opencast videos, browse Courseware and join BigBlueButton meetings. With the document provider you can access your Stud.IP files like all other files on your device. You can use the mobile browser version of Stud.IP in the app, with support for autofilling your username and password. If your Stud.IP server supports OAuth for this app, you don't even have to trust it with your login data, you can simply log in to Stud.IP and give the app access. You can enable the notification service to get your Stud.IP notifications as notifications on the device.
