Better Internet Tiles vs SyncOnWifi
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.
SyncOnWifi
Ever had an account on your android device that you want to sync only when you're at home? Ever wished you could have your work email stop synchronising when you leave the office? SyncOnWifi handles this for you. It automatically switches synchronisation of your account on or off, depending on the WiFi network you are connected to. The following permission are required: * WiFi / network status to react to WiFi network connecting / disconnecting. * Contacts / Accounts access to read which accounts there are on your device. NO contact data is accessed. * Read / Write synchronisation settings to allow automatic synchronisation switching.
