Google-free Android Notes
Actually, I use most of these even on the phone with Google Play, because awesome.
Essential Apps
- DAVx (sync)
- Etar (calendar)
- F-Droid
- Firefox/IceCat/browser of choice
- HERE WeGo (via the APK Extractor app or Yalp store…get it safely)
- Signal (APK can not be found by browsing, but if you search for “signal APK” you will find the official APK on a sub-page, currently https://signal.org/android/apk/)
- WiFiAnalyzer
Maybe-Essentials depending On Rom
- Magisk / Magisk Manager
- DejaVu location service
- OpenCamera
- RPN Calculator
- Yalp Store, or a Google-bitch phone with APK Extractor
Other Apps
- BlacklistBlocker
- OpenVPN
- VPN Hotspot
- Simple Flashlight
- spaRSS
- HG Launcher (for the ultra minimalist)
- Todo Agenda, if not using “HG Launcher”
- Vanilla Music, if the ROM’s music player sucks or won’t play OGG
System Notes
Worried you might have to resize the system partition? Resurrection Remix 7.0 + Magisk 20 fit just fine in a 1G system partition. Just don’t try to install gapps!
