This year I’ve been removing Google from my life. Today I installed LineageOS without Google Apps, taking yet another step to a degoogled life.
Due to clearly some poor planning I forgot to lookup some alternative apps for the basic stuff I never think about… I’d rather install FOSS apps that are available on F-Droid or at the very least, an app that is available on Aurora Store. Would rather not be installing random APKs.
-
Dialer app: I installed “Koler”, which seems decent enough
-
Contacts: Doesn’t need to be super fancy, just something that allows me import my contacts from a VCF file.
-
SMS: Currently using QKSMS, not sure if anything else is recommended…
-
Camera: I barely use my camera app, just need something to take the occasional photo.
-
Gallery: The default is probably good enough, let me know your thoughts
-
Launcher: I used Niagara launcher but I never got used to it, to be honest. I guess I’m looking to something more traditional.
Shoot me any other FOSS apps you think are great! Thank you so much.
Yes, in the link you sent you can see
NOTE: This app is no longer maintained, its repo was archived.They seem to be working on a new version, but the last alpha 4 was released in august last year so who knows? https://github.com/lawnchairlauncher/lawnchair/releases
:(
at least it works perfectly for now
Yeah, I’m happy with it. I don’t need fancy features, really. I’m a basic person :P
