degoogle

Hi guys, recently began to use mlauncher and it’s quite good, but I’m looking for something similar but with a little more tweaks

So my problem is that I don’t have money for a new phone and I also need my banking app. Rooting is not possible....

I’ve been thinking about getting an e-reader (thinking kobo or boox) and wanted to know if it’s possible to remove unwanted stuff (like the play store) using adb? I plan on just downloading .epub files from annas-archive and ao3, so it would be good if firefox or mull can be installed via .apk.

I’m looking for a solution that satisfies:...

What alternatives are there for Google Wallet/Google Pay? If they are OpenSource better.

I have a samsung A22 which is not supported by any of the foss roms i would like to try, so i started to debloat my phone and logout from google, removing as much propietary software as i can from my phone and replacing by foss alternatives. The only thintg i didnt manage to do is removing google services as i live in a country...

As every android user I try tons of apps. Mostly Foss or at least privacy friendly apps. Thought of gathering app links and categorizing them in a telegram channel. Please have a look if you want and also join the chat for app suggestions. thanks.

Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM....

is there another twitter app out there that still works apart from the official app ?

Hi, I am often in unfamiliar locations because of what I do for work and I’m having trouble finding ways to search for businesses that are close by. I’m kind of embarrassed to say that I’ve let myself become pretty dependent, over many years of phone use now, to just use google maps to search for pretty much everything…...

Hi guys! I’m overthinking to hire ente.io services to my photos. I know that there are self hosted services but I don’t have any computer to do that only. Any thoughts about ente.io?

When I was looking to replace my google tools, I couldn’t find an easy to to alternative Google Photos. Things that were suggested like immich or Synology or ente required some level of technical know how or dedicated hardware. I ended up buying a Synology drive but I have issues with loading images/videos (it’s extremely...

I recently dumped my Pixel for an iPhone. Feels dirty, but it’s fine....

This list is for people (like me) who want to degoogle but can’t or don’t want to buy a new phone that is supported by a custom ROM, can’t or don’t want to root the phone they have, and can’t or don’t want to use Android Debug Bridge. So this is about degoogling with built-in settings only....

Keep is an app my wife and i use quite a bit and would love to find an alternative on iOS (if there is also an Android app that would be a huge plus, our son has an Android)

So yeah. Spending a lot of thoughts turning my phone to GrapheneOS. The only thing that really matters is my banking app. Is there a way to check if it works on Graphene?

with the simple tools suite being sold to a purveyor of non-foss things, remind me of your favorite lists of recommended apps? i was using simple contacts and am not immediately sure of a good replacement. i would want one without internet permissions, which was why i disabled the google builtin.

I know there are already Gmail alternatives in the pinned post, Protonmail and Tutanota. I’ve experimented a bit with both of them, and both Tutanota or the free Protonmail are out of the question since I can’t use them with Thunderbird, so I don’t have a convenient way to keep all my mails stored in case my account gets...

I mean they’re still the ones who made the hardware

Recently made the switch to Graphene and am trying to get my main email away from outlook.com...

Has anyone used it? What was your experience with install/performance? I’m thinking of getting one because it has decent specs for $250. I don’t need banking apps or anything like that, and the only social media app I need is snapchat (I know that sort of defeats the purpose, but I just want better privacy, not perfect).

Is there any recommendations about lightweight browser (about ram management). I’m using Iceraven but is more a more eater. Anyone tried Naked Browser?

Hi all! I’m looking for a service where I can port my phone number, and then make and receive phone calls and SMS, all over data, not cell service. My particular use case is that I live in Germany, but I still have a US phone number, and occasionally need to receive SMSes or phone calls on that number....
