AppManager. Super stable, feature-packed app that can do nearly everything with your apps.

AdAway. No ads in apps. At all.

Simple utilities. Just very good replacement for Google proprietary suite of apps. Good design, feature-rich, simple to use. Developer is really awesome!

RobotDaniel ,

Can you add a link to simple utilities, I can’t find it on f-droid

FarLine99 ,

It is just apps from one developer in one suite: Simple Gallery, Simple Calendar, Calculator, Clock, Phone etc… Link to Simple app suite website.

RobotDaniel ,

Thanks

Behind NewPipe it would be Gadgetbridge and Feeder

OsmAnd~

Makes navigating around easier especially as someone who likes walking.

Edit because somebody mentioned about the lack of description and link of apps:

OsmAnd~ is a FOSS alternative to Google Maps and uses OpenStreetMap for its data. You can download it here.

Organic Maps for fast FOSS raster maps

oldfart ,

This is the überapp, 10 yearsinddevelopmenrt and I’m still fascinated reading the changelog on major releases. Use it almost daily.

grue ,

I keep trying OpenStreetMaps based mapping apps, but giving up on them because they can never seem to find locations I search for by address.

hitagi ,

Yeah I don’t think they’re as accurate and I’m trying to fix it for my local area. For some reason, updates to the map are a bit slow to update.

I’m a LibreTube person myself, but only because I can’t figure out how to access a YT channel’s playlists in NewPipe. A couple of my subscriptions have unlisted videos that are in playlists (for example MLIG live streams). LibreTube isn’t perfect though. I cannot fully disable the “Home” page.

Also

AntennaPod (Podcatcher), Imagepipe (Image manipulation esp exifdata), Tusky (mastodon client)

    Or the app requires root.

    kratoz29 ,

    What’s wrong with root?

    Is the first thing I do after installing any custom ROM.

    Hubi ,

    Unciv is a fully-fledged Civilization clone. It’s honestly insane that such a polished game is not only free, but also open source.

    opensourcedeeznuts ,

    There’s a really good third-party Photoprism app on F Droid. So much nicer than using the web app.

    hunt4peas ,

    Insular and IceRaven to name a few.

    jet OP ,

    What was your decision process in choosing insular above shelter?

    How seamless is freezing and unfreezing?

    hunt4peas ,

    I chose it after someone recommended it to me to run banking apps while rooted. Has worked fine for all my payment and banking apps so far. Haven’t tried freezing and unfreezing as they work without doing these steps.

    hiajen ,

    Hm, nextcloud and DavX5 are crucial for me (file, calendar and contact sync)

    Also Aegis as 2FA client and KeePassDX as PasswordManager (both synced via nextcloud)

    I wont list all the messengers ^^’

    Geometric weather ☁️ is awesome 👍

    notenoughbutter ,

    use breezy weather as geometric isn’t updated anymore
    u/tetris11
    how does ping work on lemmy?

    timbuck2themoon ,

    Breezy is better anyhow. I’m pretty blown away by it since finding it a week ago.

    And I honestly really liked geometric weather too.

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    I just downloaded them and they’re pretty darn similar anyways

    lom ,

    Yeah no shit. Breezy is just a maintained fork of geometric

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    of course, but the implication was breezy was substantially better and my point was it seemed pretty much the same

    Charmille ,

    I was thinking using geometric weather but there was an update few days ago. After checking it’s actually “oss weather”, it seems very similar to breezy weather

    what’s the org name for Thunder? Searching thunder or lemmy doesn’t get results, search is pretty shit.

    It seems on FDroid at least that FBreader is no longer available as a FOSS app.

    Seconding AntennaPod. I moved to it when Player.fm got insufferable with suggestions to upgrade.

    It could improve in a couple of issues, but I general it’s amazing.

    Syncthing, which syncs my files between my phone and computer. I can rip a music CD on my computer and it’s instantly sent to my phone so I can listen to it on the bus or wherever.

    kratoz29 ,

    Is the sync LAN only?

    baduhai ,

    Yes. With a vpn you should be able to bypass that restriction.

    lemann ,

    Syncthing can work over the internet with no additional config, they use Relays for that (similar to what Plex offers when port forwarding is not possible)

    Termux (Linux terminal) is super cool, and you can install a lot of cools programs through it as well. Add in the plugins for tasker integration/etc and it can be used for some pretty cool things (ie, use wol to wake up your computer when you get close to your house, etc).

    jet OP ,

    That’s really interesting. Are you using a keyboard and mouse? Or is this like on a Android desktop setup?

    Fubarberry ,
    @Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz avatar

    By default the app is just a terminal with an on-screen keyboard. Packages installed and run through it are normally terminal only, although there is some amount of support for connecting to a separate app that runs an x server.

    There are several other projects that download arm Linux distributions, and install them inside termux to get a full desktop going though. Normally for these you actually interact with the desktop through a VNC client connected to a localhost VNC running on the Linux distro. A VNC client is a good way to handle accessing the desktop since most of them come with a lot of UI design/polish for controlling a desktop computer via a phone screen.

    cousinofjah ,

    I had no idea Termux was so extensive. Probably better for tablets or DeX-enabled phones?

    Jack3G ,
    @Jack3G@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Yeah. Termux is really useful to quickly ssh into something without having to go to my pc.

    sag ,

    Termux and KDE connect.

    Im28xwa ,

    Gotta be AdAway this thing is a must especially for root users

    gaydarless ,

    Looks cool! Can anyone weigh in on how similar this is to DDG’s tracking blocker feature? Is it the same but open source?

    Im28xwa ,

    Does DDG allow you to import lists? Does it have a VPN-less mode? Can it work system wide?

    venoft ,
    @venoft@lemmy.world avatar

    Its basically just a host file. It pulls in a huge file with all the ad domains and whenever your phone tries to connect to one it gets ignored. Therefore it also works for ads in apps.

    gaydarless ,

    I will be giving that a try. Thanks for the info.

    potustheplant ,

    It also (usually) manages to hide the space where the ad would be.

    Cycadophyta ,

    I recently switched to AdAway from AdGuard. More ads seem to get through in apps, but combined with unlock in Firefox websites are completely clean.

    kratoz29 ,

    Were you using the Adguard app or the DNS’s?

    I usually use AdAway with root and with my pihole at home (and outside home with VPN) and I barely see any ads, although I haven’t tested with Android apps.

    Cycadophyta ,

    What does AdAway do differently for root users?

    Winnie22 ,

    AdAway for rooted devices allows you to modify you hosts file directly. This means that AdAway doesn’t have to be constantly running in the background to block ads. It modifies the file then closes.
