I see several things that concern me
From the FAQ
Uses Monero v0.12.2
From what i can tell we are on v0.18.3.1. Either the FAQ needs updating or this thing is using quite an old monero version.
Spend Moneroj (handle with care on mainnet!)
This needs to be pointed out to be careful?
My storage is getting full
Newly generated wallets are stored in .new in the main wallet folder. They are never erased (for now). You can delete this whole folder from time to time.
Also, the backup folder named “backups” (formerly .backups) is never automatically cleaned up. You may want to do housekeeping manually with a file browser.
All wallet files (testnet and mainnet) are stored in the main Monerujo folder. So be careful erasing stuff. One of the future releases will split the wallets and move testnet wallets out of there.
This just sounds like an accident waiting to happen.
CrAzYpass is awesome - but I don’t want it!
Creating a file named .nocrazypass in the wallets folder will disable generation of crazypass for NEW passwords (new wallet or change password). The content of the file is not read and is irrelevant. Wallets with CrAzYpass will continue working normally. The currently set real wallet password can be checked in the “Show Secrets”. The wallets folder is:
In 1.x: monerujo on your external storage (legacy) In 2.x: /data/data/com.m2049r.xmrwallet/files/wallets (requires root access)
NB: This feature is for test purposed only - all your XMR will be stolen if you use it!
No idea what this even is but why include something that you explicitly have to point out will get your monero stolen?
Edit: to me this sounds much less like a user wallet and more like a dev wallet.
it looks like this is just outdated:

The most recent update was a year ago clarifying language, the rest of it is 6 years old now
there are better next gen wallets available now for Android
Can you give some options? Cake/Monero.com seems really bloated with tons of features I don’t really want/need (buy/sell, exchange, default fiat API, CakePay is pretty much useless (since CakePay mobile is gone), etc). The Monero.com app is ~175MB where Monerujo is ~26MB. Exodus is closed source so that’s not gunna happen, and Anonero requires the user to know an onion monero node and doesn’t have any defaults (from what i can tell).
cake is bloated garbage that doesn’t even have proxy support last I checked
ANONERO doesn’t require onion nodes, you can connect to clearnet node (over tor )which is much faster while still protecting your IP
as for no defaults, just go to monero.fail for a list of community nodes
if you need a clearnet wallet for android use Mysu
Hey, thanks for that. I was not aware that Anon would connect to clear net nodes. The node address suggestion says http://address.onion:port, which sounded to me as though it did not support clear net nodes. I think one thing that may help is when you click the next button, when adding a node, or starting the wallet for the first time and connecting to a node, if the app would bring up a pop-up that says “checking” or have a check node button below the address field. I didn’t realize that it was checking to see if the node was available and was not giving it enough time.
it does do that. it shows something like “Connected to node.xmr:18081 block height xxxxxxx” when there’s a successful node connection
Yes, it does, but the checking thing is just a little bar underneath the address that I did not notice at first, and I was not giving it enough time to give that connected message, because I did not see the checking bar.
then its a node/connection issue if its taking so long
All .onions are like that. The only way i discovered the connected message was by using a clearnet node the first time. After that i saw what it was doing and waited for the .onion to respond
@shortwavesurfer @r4v3r23 CLI the way @godpod intended
Yeah, cant use that while out somewhere and id prob fuck it up and loose all my moneros. Im okay with CLI, but not willing to risk my CLI skills with money.
@shortwavesurfer In that case how about https://featherwallet.org/ ?
For a desktop wallet that would work. What i am looking for is for mobile wallets.
