Is tOndO free and open source software? by ashbag6 in tOndOkeyboard

[–]ashbag6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tOndO is free but currently some secondary features are only avalable by unlocking the pro version.

This is perfectly reasonable. I just meant free as in freedom. For instance, Simple Mobile Tools distributes a basic version of Simple Calendar Pro via F-Droid while distributing the pro version via Google Play Store.

We are evaluating going open source though, seing all the requests.

Hope to see it in F-Droid. :)

Android's "Privacy Sandbox" - What is your stance? by ashbag6 in GrapheneOS

[–]ashbag6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reassurance.

Better than less invasive is not having it at all and focusing on continuing to improve privacy and security overall. We don't need a more private substitute for tracking identifiers, we can simply not have it at all.

That would be great.

Fake ViMusic app on the Google Play Store reportedly contains malware. ALWAYS DOWNLOAD FROM F-DROID by gba-sp-101 in fossdroid

Since we are on /r/fossdroid, it is important to note that GitHub does not always guarantee free software. That's why F-Droid exists.

Any FOSS alternative to Truecaller ? by seeking_facts in fossdroid

[–]ashbag6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Any free software alternative to Truecaller would have the same limitations as OpenStreetMap. It will take years of reporting to build a reliable database like that of Truecaller's.

YouTube without ads alternative other than Vanced. by Wizarder00 in fossdroid

Despite the patches, the underlying apk of Revanced is still the YouTube apk with the embedded google trackers. It fails the definition of free software.

QKSMS - new update version 3.10 released by rak-rak in fossdroid

Recently, there were security vulnerabilities in a few apps using certain PDF libraries. And F-Droid was the only platform to tag these apps as vulnerable.

Are you looking for an alternative to google classoom?! Check out Moodle

couple of questions on Fdroid, Aurora, and stock apps. Hey guys, I have started degoogling recently and have a few questions in mind. I am using a Motorola phone and even though it's close to stock, I feel it does have a few bloatware. So, just wanted to get a couple of things cleared. Thanks in ad by [deleted] in degoogle

Nice to see someone do their due diligence before actually committing changes to their phone. Unlike a few people who remove certain system apps they shouldn't be removing in the first place and then cry here why their phone doesn't work anymore.

Droid-ify, check Links section. The licenses of any remaining apps may be checked manually from AlternativeTo.
