Does /g/ use f-droid?
>>57364401
>no Adaway or DNS66
Do you WANT ads?
>>57364401
yes. I know because i'm in fact the famous /g/.
>>57364555
Is there any reason to switch from Adaway to DNS66? It only seems to look nicer, but it doesn't even have automatic updated, does it?
>>57366315
Doesn't require root
That's the only advantage I guess
Teenagers on /g/ use iPhone, they think it shows that they're not poor or something.

Termux is a more fully featured terminal emulator if you're into that (actually it's basically like a Linux emulator)
Also of you're looking for password management, OpenKeychain + Password Store is a pretty awesome combination

Is there any FOSS diary app, that uses a decent encryption?

tugabrowser is botnet
The dev is challenged to put the link to the source on XDA but he refuses to comply
>>57366315
Its basically for people who dont want to root for just adblocking.
>>57366315
>but it doesn't even have automatic updated, does it?
It doesnt but I can see it getting it in the near future
>>57367196
Any alternatives? Firefox is too slow on my sd 410.
>>57364555
No, I just use only FLOSS apps without ads and firefox with ublock origin on android.

No ability to whitelist unfortunately.

I thought I was /g/ ;_;
Welp, at least I do use F-droid too, so we cool.
f-droid botnet can S my D, r/android app store is where it's at
>>57367886
there is though
>>57367886
-->domain filters --> tap on + --> enter whitelist site(s) and select allow

how come minmin guard still isn't on fdroid?
>>57368201
I dont want ads on my phone when I go out
>>57368284
Then set up a VPN to allow you to connect to your home network while out, retard
>>57368493
DNS66 is easier and does the same thing. You didnt even bother checking how DNS66 works did you
>>57368229
>minmin guard
does it require root?

nothx
>>57368119
>>57368135
Doesn't seem to be working for me unfortunately. Added something to the whitelist, still gets blocked. Hmm...

Gaaaaaaaaaaaay
>>57367489
Brave Browser already has an android release
Yeah I use it for Clover, DataStats, etc. Fdroid isn't the cleanest app store but it's all free so it's good enough for me.
>>57367489
Lightning
I use Adaway but I still get the occasional ad when I use Pandora.
Is there a new list I should add to block that out?
I do for Clover but it feels like it barely ever uodates
>>57369584
I've started getting this nonsense recently. Never had anything pop up before. What gives?
>>57369747
no idea, ive never seen that
>>57369241
what site did you add?
>>57369152
>>57369747
It looks like a place holder for the ad, try miminguard and see if it goes away
Yes. I don't have gapps on my phone, and all I use is on f-droid (or comes with the rom)
The most important if someone wants a good setup is:
davdroid
k-9 mail + apg (Is there a more frequently updated gpg client I should be aware of?)
KDE connect
newpipe (so I can watch videos in horizontal without automatic orientation)
osmand (If I need navigation)
lightning (browser)
owncloud (for automatic upload camera images and access files)
920 editor (text editor / viewer)
mupdf (pdf viewer)
What should I do to improve?
I use f-droid, BUT
I absolutely despise the people involved in it.
They are supposed to promote free software but instead they are elitist assholes who will literally refuse apps because they don't like the styling of the code.
I submitted 3 apps by forking their repo (that's the recommended way to do it) and all 3 were refused for stupid shit like using tabs in the manifest file. Like who the fuck cares?
Also you can't send APKs, they have a shitty automated system that builds your project from source, usually failing miserably.
Fuck them.
>>57369832
I got it working. Looks like it doesn't accept asterisk links to provide blanket cover to entire domains (like AdAway does). You have to enter each url specifically. It's not a huge deal.
But it still leaves blank space where ads go (browsing on Chrome), so I'm sticking with AdAway. Perhaps uBlock could take away the space? Never tried it.

>But it still leaves blank space where ads go (browsing on Chrome), so I'm sticking with AdAway. Perhaps uBlock could take away the space? Never tried it.
Yeah it seems to leave a blank space for now. You could try minminguard app as another option
>>57369999
>>57369857
No Xposed (I don't think). On Nougat.
>>57369918
automated build systems are fine you should just know that it is that way, so you can use a similar or identical setup for your own projects for faster testing.
As for tabs in the manifest file, apparently they care, so why not just conform to the standard so their automated testing says your code is clean?
When your project was refused, did they give a full report of what was wrong or did they stop after the first error and left you to figure this out on your own?
>>57370033
Does it need Xposed to install/run/function?
>>57370064
No experience with Minminguard but Google is telling me it's an Xposed module.
>>57370084
just download the apk linked
>>57370135
Guess I didn't do too much research, will do and report back later.
>>57366586
>Not using Google Inbox
Inb4 botnet matters
>>57370135
No good, needs Xposed
OK niggers. Here's what you do:
>Root phone
>download AdAway (outside of the play store)
>Download Xposed
>use Xposed to download a YouTube ad blocker
>Use Xposed to download minmingaurd to block all leftover banners
>Profit

Ok, story time then.
I sent them 3 apps: one of them has over 50k downloads on botnet store, one is around 10k and the other one I just released it but it's aimed at freetards so it won't get many downloads.
Anyways, I tried to send those 3 apps to them. I forked their data repo, added the manifest files, and sent a merge request.
It got refused. They wrote 4-5 lines so I wouldn't call that a full report. It was something like this:
-App 1: you used a library and included the jar file instead of building it (library was made by me, btw). I tried to make the thing automated but if you ever used Android Studio, you know how shit it is. I gave up
-App 2: you used libgdx (it was a live wallpaper). No more than that. I don't even know what I did wrong or if they have something against libgdx. I just created a project with the default settings, didn't touch anything weird, no external libraries, nothing. I gave up
-App 3: the manifest was not formatted according to their standards and their fucking lint refused it. I could not for the life of me figure out what in the fuck was wrong with the manifest. I'm gonna guess it's some encoding issue since I'm on Windows (you know, the \n thing). I gave up
They basically treated me like I was trying to upload shit. I asked for help and they didn't answer. If you go through their repo, you'll see 90% of merge requests get refused for stupid shit like lint.
>>57370403
minminguard doesnt require Xposed to install, you can sideload it. Though you do get the Xposed not enabled message
>>57370268
So it wont work without Xposed?, did you test its ad blocking ability by itself?
>>57370467
that sucks.
No wonder nobody writes apps for android.
Windows usually write \r\n instead of \n, but most editors can still read that.
>>57370523
>>57370532
I just installed the apk and it didn't block anything.
>>57370704
darn, gotta settle with blank spaces with DNS66
>re-install f-droid

wtf I hate f-droid now

update then exit then start it back up
