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.
