F-Droid

Sup lainons. I'm looking for some neat F-Droid apps. Here are some of my favorites: K-9 mail - For reading mail Tachiyomi - Pocket weebery Orbot - Tor Clover - For lainchan Amaze - File explorer Aurora store - Non GSF dependent Play Store NewPipe - Frontend app for YouTube Would be happy to hear yours.

Clover works for lainchan? (I don't have a phone) Does it work for all vichan/tinyboard type boards?

>>17066 it currently only works on these three sites.

>>17064 Maps. Maps is a maps app that is fully libre software. It works amazingly and lets you add your own places to maps and track your own movements. And it's entirely offline. It downloads maps data of your local area from OpenStreetMap and stores it locally on the phone. I don't have a data plan and I have been many places without cell signal, and Maps is always there to help me. I love Maps.

miniVector - Matrix client based on Riot Silence - Encrypted SMS Tor Browser - Needs no introduction, enable the Guardian Repo in F-Droid settings to get it

>>17064 DNS666 - for blocking host names and ads too without rooting your phone Document Viewer - viewer for PDF, DjVu and other file formats

>>17066 >>17067 I tried several times to get Lainchan working on Clover to no avail. What do I do?

GNU Icecat (or, as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU+Icecat) - Libre FIrefox fork. Turn off the bundled addons unless you really think you'll use them. Vinyl Music Player - Fork of Phonograph. Has all the premium features unlocked. The best music player, in my opinion. Netguard - Adguard + Adaway at the same, but without root. However, it's not quite as good as them and it won't allow you to use a VPN at the same time if I recall. Aegis - A 2FA client that I think is the best at the moment. Orgzly - Emacs org-mode note-taking ObscuraCam - Camera app designed with privacy in mind Termux - Bash terminal T-UI Launcher - Terminal style launcher, very customizable ZimLX - Fork of Lawnchair, without the bullsoykaf

Aard2 - for offline wikipedia. Files are smaller than kiwik databases but have no images Ankidroid - for spaced repition flashcards Antennapod - podcast aggregator Diskusage - visualize diskusage Openkeychain - manage gpg keys Osmand - offline map app Overchan - more boards than clover Passwordstore - password manager with gpg, git and ssh Quickdic - multiple language dictionary Syncthing - cloudless file synchronization Tuner - if you're playing a string instrument

AnySoftKeyboard - best looking and more featureful (I disable almost everything but gestures) keyboard Binary Eye - The barcode and 2D code reader that actually does what it intends to Deja vu - Best offline location provider (NLP) DictionaryForMIDs - because it has the Webster dictionary and is also the lightest dictionary app out there Equate - I have tried other unit conversors this is the one I like most Ghost Commander - dual panel file manager (not-so-fun-story; I del'd my whole data partition once by legendary mistapping) Libre Torrent - Lighter than "Torrent Client", it also lets you do sequential downloads and has a nice UI Mupen64plus AE - N64 emulator, it has the awesome GlideN64 video plugin that supports widescreen hacks, 3 point filtering and texture upscaling filters opsu! - Musical pocket weebry primitive ftpd - ftpd daemon Scrambled Exif - metadata remover Space Trader - fun game The Light - best Bible app Trebleshot - Wifi file sharing app with the ability to create hotspots that can also do share via plain http About PDF viewers I have a personnal debate between MuPDF viewer and KOReader, koreader is mupdf in the core, modified for use with ebook readers and provides alot of features and an unusual UI for an smartphone so I use koreader for reading books and mupdf viewer for quick checking pdf files or to make zoom. Outside of the F-Droid default repo I recommend Retroarch if you are into emulation and Bromite webview as a replacement for regular webview. And by last, mpv-android has recently recieved an update which includes AArch64 support being now viable as media player (for me).

>>17073 Check out StreetComplete. Gamification of OpenStreetMap.

will we ever get sftp client on fdroid? (not counting outdated ghost commander)

>>17107 there is lftp on termux

>>17108 there is sftp in busybox, but cli isn't very comfortable to use on phones

Not directly related to this thread, but since this is the only android thread I will ask. Does anyone know of a rootless systemwide adblock method that will work if I already am connected to a VPN (via openVPN)? I know about dns66 and blokada, but those will not work in my case since I would need to disconnect from my actual vpn to use those. Of course I could always root and use adaway, but I do not think just this one function justifies the security risk associated with allowing root access.

>>17457 Use an actual adblocking DNS, (which I personally would'nt trust) or modify your /system/etc/hosts file using custom recovery

>>17082 used to use older htc phone, couldn't use lainchan at all: it'll yell network error now that i bought new redmi 7 pro it works.

>>17469 Yeah, I'm assuming it has something to do with older versions of Android. I'm using Android 4.4.4 and it doesn't work.

AntennaPod - Podcasts Simple Mobile Tools - Replacement for stock apps (dialer, contacts) Etar - Calendar Feeder - RSS Reader IceCatMobile - No bs firefox fork KeePassX - Passwords Libretorrent - Great torrent client Listen.moe - Music weebery Mediainfo - To check the bitrate of my music NCalc+ - The only good calculator Open Camera - Amazing camera app, lot's of features p!n - Notes/ Reminders in the notfication area Pretend You're Xyzzy - CAH client, ig ScreenCam - Screen recorder TBB (Stable) - Access TOR Wireguard - For my VPN XDA Labs - Check up to see if my shitty phone has been rooted yet Yalp - GP client

>>17101 How is this different from Osmand~

>>17562 StreetComplete pops up all the stuff around me with incomplete information and makes it real easy to contribute, with less of a focus on navigation and all the crazy tweaks you can do with OsmAnd~. It's just an easy way to see what places need more info and submit it back. Futzing around in OsmAnd~ I didn't see similar functionality.

>>17064 Clover is always crashing

>>17064 Clover keeps crashing lately

>>17067 See the dev build

Can anyone recommend me a good RPN calculator app on FDroid? The ones advertised as such are pretty buggy.

>>17603 don't use the dev build

>>17631 NCalc probably has it. I think it's in the izzy repo

Orbot app does suck since the focus was given to Tor Browser on android whch is also soykaf but at least kinda works. Are there alternatives to the insufferable orbot app?, there is a tor pkg on termux, is it possible to make it work with all the enviroment?.

Same as OP + Atennpod, WireGuard, OSMand and Conversations (XMPP)

>>18027 >K-9 mail - For reading mail Let me know when the various years-old "syncing disabled" bugs are fixed. I've just given up on K-9 and started using Simple Email (also on F-droid) instead. Not nearly as many features, but at least it syncs reliably.

>>18028 Tried turning off battery optimization for it? (If on Pie, not sure about Oreo)

>>18052 >Tried turning off battery optimization for it? (If on Pie, not sure about Oreo) Multiple Nougat and Oreo devices, same issue with or without battery optimizations on all of them. I've fiddled with so many settings suggested to me on various forums. I've done full-scale factory resets. It happens on both stock ROMs and LineageOS. I simply cannot get K-9 to reliably sync. And I'm no tech newbie. I hate it when people trot out unrelated tech experience as if it proves their capabilities in another situation, but I'll be that guy right now. I've built LFS for fun, multiple times. I can do careful, methodical troubleshooting that requires lots of reading and lots of patience. I'd actually planned out my troubleshooting for this issue on a spreadsheet that lists every combination of various settings (including developer settings). But Simple Email? It just plain works. I never miss an email, regardless of battery optimization settings. For me, that reliability outweighs the extra features of K-9.

>>18056 Alrighios. Guess I just misunderstood your syncing problem.

>>17634 Posting from the dev build. It's fine.

From a security, privacy, and anonymity perspective, the two most indispensible apps on F-Droid are Afwall+ firewall and Orbot Tor proxy/VPN, in my opinion. [Pic unrelated: Cellphone geiger counter and tritium glow-lights for entropy generation.]

Muzei with pixiv or danbooru plugin, whitout NSFW filters and maybe tags of some dark soykaf. Best way to stop loosing your time on the phone as you would probably not dare to use it in public 110% prooved to work.

>>18206 There's also one for Ghibli's works.

>>17064 NetGaurd - to enforce policy like no chrome or pdf reader internet acess without root. Fennec - libre browser with full addon support Shelter - create a no data 'work profile' to sandbox/ compartmentalize without root Trifa - p2p decentralized comms Riot - federated group chat Antennapod - podcast Newpipe - youtube frontend with dl audio Ankidriod - spaced repition How can i change dns while using Netgaurd VPN ? App doesnt have an option as far as i can tell.

>>18284 >Shelter - create a no data 'work profile' to sandbox/ compartmentalize without root SWEET JESUS, YES Thank you for introducing me to this. Can't wait to try it!

>>18284 Most reliable way to customize DNS on Android is OverrideDNS app on Play Store. Needs root. Doesn't _seem_ to be boobytrapped or backdoored.

>17064 you should give overchan a shot. IMO its way better than clover.

>>18284 >>18287 So this means you can run spyware cancer apps inside an isolated profile so they cannot access your data outside the profile? Nice.
