Question Best Free / One Time Cost Excel Option? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

So I changed jobs and no longer have the ability to use my work 365 account on my personal devices.
I primarily use Excel to manage a spreadsheet that contains my account login and password information. In the past I had set it for password protection (I know, Exxcel file password protection is not secure. It was just to make it not-accessible for normal use). Now, I can't make edits in Excel because no office 365. Other programs I've tried like Google Sheets don't support password protected files.
What are people using for Excel that is affordable / without a monthly fee? Are there any options out there that support password protection?
Thanks,
Joe

I'm using the free LibreOffice:
Willkommen | LibreOffice - Deutschsprachiges Projekt - Freie Office Suite
LibreOffice Homepage, office suite, download, open standards, open source, free software, LibreOffice
de.libreoffice.org
I didn't try yet to password protect a file but it looks to me it can be done i.e. you also might be able to open a password protected Excel file:

The older free WPS office. Has spreadsheet; not sure if supports Excel files. Screw MS.
WPS is the only free option there is for Android that is full function and writes Xdocs. The older versions need to be firewall block to prevent paid version update. I never advise using passwords as they can cost you lost access to data.
In the future everyone will own nothing, use only paid for cloud apps, be happy and completely boned.
Screw that hogwash, Gookill and Gates.

Do you have a playstore link?
The LibreOffice website says they don't have an android version and points to a Colabara Office playstore link. If I search playstore for LibreOffice, there is an app, but says it is not affiliated with LibreOffice...

I didn't think Libre office to have a version for android. There is AndrOffice which is a version of libre office for android, but it isn't free, and i dont believe that it is value for its money..
AndrOpen Office - Apps on Google Play
A full functionality editor for OpenOffice / LibreOffice documents
play.google.com
I also use wps which is probably best excel for android, but I'm not sure if it support password protected files.
I have used colabora office but I don't think is good also..

I think you're correct.
6 yo WPS office works but needs to be firewall blocked at the get go. More versions available on apk.pure. Always scan any side load with online Virustotal before installing. If any doubts exists in your mind about the prospective app, delete the download.

OK, I'll take a look at WPS.

To save as a doc or docx you may need to play with a bit. Use the sequence below, and then repeat. Verify it was saved. A minor glitch.

Looks like a pain. Can it create docs from a blank page?
It says free home use, but that looks convoluted.

for password storage I use a password manager: KeePassXC
for "office" on Android I have Softmaker Apps installed (only use them about once a year to read some document I can not open otherwise)
For spreadsheets on my PCs I use LibreOffice Calc and I am really happy.
For writing MS-Office formats (if someone tells me LibreOffice does not cut it) I also have Softmaker Office for Linux installed. Softmaker starts faster and claims better file"compatibility" than LibreOffice.

can you verify whether this is spyware malware free???
i'd like to know as well! seems too good to be true...
The screenshot doesn't really make sense, why are there two "addons" menus, and why is there another stop button on top of the green arrow, in addition to the other stop button? I'm running it through VirusTotal.com (which scans it with like 30 brands of antivirus software), so we'll soon see.
EDIT: AVG and Clamwin report nothing on the unzipped file, and VirusTotal.com says only one of its 36 antiviruses (antiviri?) reported anything suspicious. It seems to be safe.
Jdownloader is virus free, but it requires Java to run.
The original website of the developers: http://jdownloader.org
I would recommend Cryptload instead, in my eyes it is much better: http://cryptload.info
Btw, UNLIMITED is too good to be true, it simply reconnects your router everytime you completed a download.
It's virus free. I've been using this for quite some time know and it works great. I don't need to wait to enter those captcha. Jdownloader does everything even extract those zipped files that you downloaded even if they have password. Of course you have to enter those pass that frequently use. A must soft to all downloaders there.
Just get the file here http://www.jdownloader.net/ for a sure virus free download. And also it constantly upgrade itself.
JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com - not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don't pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more. Of course, JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many “link encryption” sites are supported - so you just paste the “encrypted” links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.
Features
Platform independent. (Windows, Linux, Mac, ..)
Runs on Java 1.5 or higher
Complete Open-Source (GPL)
24-hour support
Download several files parellel
Download with multiple connections
JD has an own powerful OCR module (JAntiCaptcha)
Decrypt RSDF, CCF and DLC Containerfiles
Decryptplugins for many services. e.g. sj.org, UCMS, WordPress, RLSLog….
Youtube, Vimeo, clipfish video and Mp3 Download
Automatic extractor (including password list search) (Rar archives)
Theme Support
Multilingual
About 110 hoster and over 300 decrypt plug-ins
Reconnect with JDLiveHeaderScripts: (1400 router supported)
Webupdate
Integrated package manager for additional modules (eg. Webinterface, Shutdown)
this software is very router-centric. I have a linksys that's been modified with a 3rd party firmware and of course, mine isn't supported. if you're one of those people with a "I Void Warranties" shirt, this may not work for you. besides, I dunno that I want my router reconnecting after every file.
and neither for workstations
On my job we have security cameras on the web and more things like three servers and other... and when the IP change beacause of a program like P2P or other... all the web services goes down.
I think its just for home.

Best RSS Reader. What Do You Use?

I've never really used RSS feeds, but I'm going to start on the G1 so that I don't have to use my browser all the time. I was using Google's Reader, but I'd like to try one of the FREE apps.
So what do you use (free or not) and what do you like/not like about it?
** EDIT** Currently I'm using PureRSS and RSS Reader. Don't know which one I like more.
I like Greed alot because it syncs with my Google Reader account.
Greed definitely
Greed as well.
Greed here also ... sync's w/ google reader and it's free. Haven't had any issues.
its works offline?
Greed Lite is free and does NOT do offline syncing.
Greed Paid version is $5.00 and does the offline cache as well as downloading(podcasts?)
I haven't tried either of them but I just looked it up and thats what came up
I use Greed free, but now that there is the offline support, I may just move over to the paid one.
Another one for Greed.
I use PureRSS for text feeds, and BeyondPod for podcasts.
Both excellent and free. I had originally used the OI Newsreader, but found that it wasn't synching right and it was buggy (would crash often, wouldn't display articles properly).
Greed is good (hehe), but I didn't need the Google integration enough to warrant paying for the offline caching.
Which is the best for syncing with Google reader?

Greed all the way, nothing you have to do to get it to sync with Google Reader, just login and start reading! I've been using this app since I got my G1 and it's the best RSS reader hands down.
Thanks a lot man.
I use Greed as well. Works perfectly with my Google Reader.
I used to use PureRSS and BeyondPOD, I opted out of PureRSS once I got my hands on Greed. Absolutely grand. Google integration is epic. So nice to have the option to add feeds to my greed browser at a remote computer.
Still use BeyondPOD for podcasts though.
What's the podcast support like in the full version of Greed? I was using Doggcatcher but recently moved to Beyondpod.
Has anyone tried NubiNews?
It's not strictly an RSS reader, as it doesn't allow you to add arbitrary feeds. However, for the feeds that it supports (10+ sources, including NY Times, Engadget, The Register, Gizmodo, Yahoo News, etc), it renders the FULL pages, including all the images.
Other RSS apps only display the summary text inside the feed XML file. For the whole news story, you need to open the Browser, which is really a slow pig on the Android platform.
What NubiNews does is to strip off all the crap (ads, etc) from the page, and display only the interesting contents. This makes the download really fast. For example, some news page in Yahoo News would take over 15 seconds to load in the Browser, and it's horrible to view because you need to scroll horizontally and vertically.
In NubiNews, such an article would load in less than 5 seconds, and the page is reformatted to scroll only vertically for easy navigation.
As an added benefit, NubiNews also zooms the images in the iPhone style.
Here's are a few screen shots:

twitter has for the most part replaced my RSS feeds but in the occasion I do use them I just load up Google Reader in the browser.
Greed is the best for me by far and have tried 90% of the ones for the G1.
It syncs with google reader which is great because if you have to do a system wipe, it saves all the feed links. It HATE HAVING TO RE ENTER ALL THOSE FEED LINKS AFTER A WIPE! Closest thing to viigo around.
Sorry double post.

Animated Advertising

I might give that a shot. I guess I can have both IE8 & Chrome on my computer, but how about something that will work with IE8 ?
Anybody try this ? (from PC mag)
"Block Ads with InPrivate Filtering and Third-Party Filters
One reason I switched my default browser from IE to Firefox was that I could install an ad-blocking extension. IE8 doesn't support a similar add-on, but with a bit of effort, you can get almost the same level of stress-reducing ad blocking in IE8 that you can get in Firefox—using only IE8's built-in features. It's a three-step process.
First, turn on InPrivate Filtering by using Safety | InPrivate Filtering Settings and select Automatically Block. Click OK.
Next, add a Registry setting that turns on InPrivate Filtering by default so that you don't have to turn it on every time you start up IE8. In Notepad, create a text file with these three lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Safety\PrivacIE]
"StartMode"=dword:00000001
Save this file to your desktop with a name like "FilterOn.reg"; right-click on it; choose Merge.
Next, search the Web for files named Adblock for IE8.zip or EasyListIE8.zip, or search for "ie8 adblock xml list" or similar strings. You are looking for links to downloadable XML files converted from recent filtering lists created for Firefox's AdBlock Plus. Download one or more of these XML files to your desktop—you can use more than one without problems—and look at the files in Notepad to make sure that they're standard text files and not a dangerous executable program (scan them with your antivirus app first, just in case). In IE8, go to Tools | Manage Add-Ons, and click on InPrivate Filtering. Click the Import button, navigate to your downloaded XML file and click Open. IE8 will take a few seconds to process the list. Click Close. Now visit any normally ad-heavy site and enjoy the view of the site with few or no ads."

My Library App

Hi,
As an owner of NGT I've decided to start programming in java and android API. Let me introduce my first project.
As I rooted my device I was missing Library launcher, ralaunch was fine but I was looking for shelves supporting launcher, epub launcher was nice but limited. So, I decided to fill the gap. I was inspired by nook library, which I think was very well designed.
For now it's in alpha stage and for easier developing it's as application, in future I'll make it as a launcher.
So, here are the screen-shots of actual developing state:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm using Calibre and its meta attributes:
<meta content="shelf name" name="calibre:series"/>
<meta content="1" name="calibre:series_index"/>
calibre:series_index is treated as integer, not as a float so if you have it as float, let me know.
Please let me know what you think about it. Let me know which features or ideas you wished to have in this app.
If anybody could contribute pictograms icons which will fit better, let me know.
---- uploaded first pre-alpha version of app ---
v0.1 - limitations:
scanning of ebooks is limited only to whole /sdcard/, no internal memory is scanned,
file browser don't remember locations, always start from root,
file browser don't have a bookmarks yet,
epub file's attribute "calibre:series" is treated as integer value, so 1.5 is 2, 1.4 is 1. Anybody uses fractions on this attribute?
sorting is done on re-run of app or on refreshing library, to be fixed,
for now, only epub filetype is handled,
searching doesn't work,
no preferences yet
v0.2
fixed adding of shelves
fixed scanning of whole /sdcard/
v0.3
added working bookmarks
added root access in manifest (in future will be used in "my file" browser to get access to blocked paths)
some general fixes
Let me know what you think about it.
Cheers

Yes yes yes! THIS IS GOOD!
I've uploaded first version of my app. Hope that'll work for you.
Nice app, thanx! :thumbup:

Looks great - thanks! For future versions, I'd love to be able to do a dual-sort starting with genre tag so you could show shelves by tag then by series (so you could just see your SciFi series for example) or tag then by author etc. Thanks for the good work.
Hi,
New version uploaded, more info in first post.
Due to some manifest changes in code which fail to run I must upload again to have it working
Cheers.
I'm extremely impressed, especially considering that you said you have just started programming. Very good start sir! :thumbup::beer:

Thanks, I've learned C/++ for years, so learning Java was quite easy. The biggest problem was Android API, which is complex, especially API 7 which lacks many features.
Good work! I like the way this library app opens AlReader by default and allows the standard Nook library to open the stock reader by default. I have one feature request. As many of the third party readers will open .mobi files as well as .epub, can this library be modified to use both? My practice is to have my non-DRM books in .mobi format to open with AlReader so that they do not even show up in the stock library app which I use for B&N content only. I find this a effective way to separate the two different forms of content.

Hi, I plan to add mobi/pdf/epub only the question is how to handle this, altogether or separate in tabs.
Beside I'll add scan paths. So, for mobi we could set one dir and exclude it from scanning.

Actually, for my purposes, there is no need to separate .epub and .mobi. Your app will not be able to read B/N DRMed epubs anyway. For me, if it just picked up .mobi files when it does a library scan and displayed then alongside DRM free epubs, that would be fine.
Again, thanks for the great work on this.

I really like the app, but it can't seem to get it to work properly. I only get three or four shelves to start and I can set the view to all to see all my ebook files. This view shows all of the books but without an authors name, shows null null. Hitting the refresh button the app rescans the device and shows all the authors on the books. Switching the view to shelves does not carry over, hitting the refresh button does not change the shelves shown. Going throughout the option menu to delete data and then rescan does nothing as well. Any ideas? Can post the debug if needed
Also for future dev adding the file types cbr/Cbz for comic books would be awesome. Showing them inline with other shelves or on a separate tab would be cool
Hi
I was oo for a while. Could you PM me debug, I'll look for it. Strenge, as ebook should be readed all the time the same way.
sorry about the two seperate pms but the first is what it normally looks like and the second is when i rescan files in the all files view.
Feature request. Sync with google play books or any other service that have upload and page sync. I want to be able to upload books on my phone and sync over to nook.
Hi, I'll look how that could be achieved. I had a plan to make my own build of reader with sources and add reading with last page shown in library app.
Sent from Umi Zero - Tapatalk
This app is exactly what I have been looking for. However, I installed it on my NST and have similar issues as above. Also when I try to assign books to a shelf it will add some but not all that I have selected and will add some random books as well.
I hope the developer keeps working on this app.

KingRoot Information

This is the information I have gathered on KingRoot (for Windows). Please note that this is information gained by using a network monitor and the software was not reversed engineered or decompiled in any way. I am not responsible for how you use this information or any opinion you may form of this software. Lastly I am not responsible for any files downloaded or links followed from this information! Sorry, had to cover myself from slander and those who don't know what they could be getting in to
It appears to be a server side style of app. The app you install either on your phone or pc is simply the gateway to the server and the app knows how to communicate with the server. All functionality appears to be controlled server side, it should (theoretically) not matter what version of the app you are using. The Windows app for this will install the latest android version on your phone, if you do not have it installed already. It actually installs the KingRoot app but also another app named "KrHelper4Pc". This could be the stuff listed in the links and information below, I do not know for fact. The windows app is also in Chinese (I assume). However, they have an unhelpful English page that tells you how to root with the Chinese (I assume) all over it! https://kingroot.net/root-installation-via-windows-pc/
Here are some links that were found having communication:
1. http://103.7.29.26/download.sj.qq.com/qpmgr/AndroidDeviceV6.zip?mkey=58692fabc55ab7b0&f=105&c=0&p=.zip
- This is weird, it downloads a zip file but can not be opened or extracted. I know sometimes .apk files can show as .zip files, so I changed the extension to .apk and moved to my phone sdcard. Can not parse the package...no idea what this file is or how it works! You can open the zip file with wordpad and see a bunch of garbled text though.

Again, this is purely information I have gathered on the use of KingRoot, take it as you wish or as you interpret it. It may (or have) work but there seems to be a lot of other traffic going on, I can not really say if it is necessarily good or bad but I would at least call it "possibly suspicious". The reason I say possibly suspicious is the fact that most "hack tools" are actually not nefarious or do not have bad intentions. They are listed this way to dissuade people from using them. If it shows as a virus, most people will not install or use the program thinking they will get infected when the app is truly not a virus or malicious.
How do I know?
Well, I cant guarantee that any software or app is safe if I did not code it. Back in the day, I used to hack the old Yahoo Messenger login protocol. By doing so, I could create bot programs that could spam, send boot codes to knock them offline and even clone other users. As you can guess, Yahoo did not like this. Yahoo then worked with anti virus companies to get programs like mine listed as a virus to dissuade people from installing them. When this happened, my inbox exploded with people screaming and cussing at me. None of my software is malicious, I would not do that. I ended up releasing my source code to prove it was safe.
Anyways, long story short...for tools like these, it is actually hard to prove if they are malicious, even if a website says so.

How do I know?
Well, I cant guarantee that any software or app is safe if I did not code it. Back in the day, I used to hack the old Yahoo Messenger login protocol. By doing so, I could create bot programs that could spam, send boot codes to knock them offline and even clone other users. As you can guess, Yahoo did not like this. Yahoo then worked with anti virus companies to get programs like mine listed as a virus to dissuade people from installing them. When this happened, my inbox exploded with people screaming and cussing at me. None of my software is malicious, I would not do that. I ended up releasing my source code to prove it was safe.
Anyways, long story short...for tools like these, it is actually hard to prove if they are malicious, even if a website says so.

Well, that "zip" definitely isn't a zip ... if you look at any real zip in a text editor, the first 2 characters in the header are "PK".
(I think that's where "apk" comes from ... "Android PK).
The file is clearly data that the application decrypts.
I installed the program in Sandboxie & will poke around a little when I have time.
It might be slow going since it's all in Chinese.
There was a suggestion that I was a little overly concerned by the "intrusive" nature of Kingroot ... ha! We'll see ...
Following this for sure
