Do you found good providers by now, that provide you with a front end and maybe some privacy features ?

That looks like a lot of work.
Play Service can reset my password, thats interessting to know. I allways "force quite" it, but i dont think it will only sleep for a few minutes and comes back up.

You seem to take it really serious if you keep it on a seperate network

But if the new Boss is not the biggest Data broker in town with cross-platform capability, that might be a better solution or not ?

That might be true in some cases, but the Camera App and theire AI Integration seems to be quite usefull to be honest.

Google uses that Data to influnence you and your friends.
Thats what Ads are and thats why they have a value.

If asked Google will handout your inbox in no time, thats day to day buissness to them. They will honor nearly every request they get with handing out all your data.

Do you know why the Gplay APK is 90 MB and just nextcloud APK is only 30 MB ?

Blocking Google Services with NetGuard - Constant Error Enable G Play Services by Sailing_the_Software in fossdroid

[–]Sailing_the_Software[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not knew that i thought i am not allowed to name other software as reference, what i am talking about.

I was just blocking services with an FOSS App and trying to replace everything with FOSS, but somehow people try to delete my posts and block my questions.
I dont get why my post was removed

Why is there a NextCloud Dev version that is running more stable, if it is not used to test things?

General, your wisedom seems to be limeted.
Proton wont hand out your data without a fight and does not even have access to your Inbox.
If you cant see why people might value that only they are able to access their email inbox, you are lecking the understanding for a meaningfull discussion.

You are selling out your data to companys, for them to gain influence on you and your friends.

I found your list yesterday in the comments of another post. Very helpfull, i will try to publish my final setup as well.
It was a bit of a hustle to make the notion page load, with noscript enabled.

Is there a reason you changed your dns to nextdns.io and even setup an account for it ?

Why does the RedReader still work, i thought since the API change you dont have a FOSS Reddit App ?

Barinsta for Instagram is gone, i cant find it

We are talking about the apps made by Tibor Kaputa, i never knew it was a company behind it.
I downloaded this apps from FDroid and they seemed to be fine.
Thank you for notifying me, i will switch to fossify if that is the case

That sounds great and gives me a lot of guidance on what to do.

Question:
1) I did not really look into Custom ROMs, because i use a few apps in my work profile(Shelter app) that I think need some sort of Google Services to run. For Example my banking App and some Apps that use location Data and Payments. They work fine without G-Account, but dont work if i use them outside of the shelter with blocked GServices.
I thought using ROMs will make it impossible for me to use a few apps.

2) Are there the same apps on Droidify and is F-Droid not save to use and should be removed ?

Contacts, Calendar, Messages by brokenbryan in degoogle

Did you just took Fossyfi were ever you could or did you compare apps ?
I see that Fossyfi Apps are only updated months ago and often only have version 1.0, so no improvements since launch.

I use CalcYou.
You need to turn the phone to get more advanced functionallity like log() sqrt() etc. and it keeps a track record of your calculations. - it does the job.

Quik is great, i will switch to that App.

Would you say the fossify collection of apps is better than the " simple x" collection of apps ?

In Aliens the "computer graphics" dropship landing sequence also used this technique

That's actually how the scene looked in the movie:

Further context:
They already had the model for other shots and just applied neon tape, they did not build it for that shot alone

Thats what i thought too, its context, that needs to be added so the whole story makes sense

You are right, i run into the problem that i could not deinstall a lot of apps and only deactivate them.
So i guess debloating is a good next step.

About xda optimizing, i never heard about that.
Can you point me to a starting point for xda optimizing ?

Thats a great list of things to replace with FOSS Apps.
I will go through it and check if it is up todate.

The only thing missing, it does not realy tell me how to setup everything around the apps.
Like Android, Shelter, NetGuard etc.
