I play shattered pixel dungeon all of the time. p. great, get it form f-droid.

mostly every android software i download tends to be freeware shit(full of ads). that's all amazon and 1mobilemarket offer. i fucking hate androi, but again i am an android pleb, and barely use it

Aimp is pretty fucking good for audio

Poweramp, best music player i've tried.
As beta tester, new version has visual effects.

Equalizer, is the best i've tried too

VLC was removed from f-droid, I don't know why.

Poweramp and Black Player are still the top tier music players, but neither of them is free as in freetard.

I'm yet to find Android app I like. Google makes decent ones but they spy on everything I do and their apps are basically Webview wrapped into an Android app.

Everythign else asks a dozen permissions and they want every bit of your data off your phone to install some free app.

These days I don't even try any new apps because it's such a huge hassle trying to deal with all this shit.

Shit sucks.

I don't know how but Android experience has become so bad over the past 3-4 years. I have no idea what the cause for all this is.

Getting pretty fucking sick of Lightning. Any better Android browser alternatives? The stock "Browser" actually performs better than Lightning for me right now.

>>60789460
GNU Icecat or Brave

>>60788403
Via browser, es explorer(pro version but I just pirate it, it has no annoying bullshit from the free version), simple gallery, OGYouTube, Neutron, wps office(modded, without network capabilities), Minuum, Nova, adaway. These are the absolute minimum for me. Other apps are SoundCloud, yandex maps, OpenVPN, WolframAlpha, bacon camera, lucky patcher, ADM(Via has nice integration with it), calculator(the open source one, that looks like from AOSP but has more functions), substratum, memowidget, diskdigger, drivedroid and ttorrent. Also magisk, but it's built-in in the ROM I use. All of this works perfectly without gapps and its replacements.

>>60789460
Update the Android webview then switch to Google's webview in developer options. Should work as fast as it gets. Also check out Via browser.

>>60788403
Calculator
Notepad
Firefox
OpenVPN
Orfox/Orbot
EBookDroid
RAR
LockMyPix
FlashLight

First off, install LineageOS without gapps.

Then install F droid and get Icecat, K9Mail, Vanilla Music Player, Gallery, Open Camera, Telegram, SkyTube (somehow even better than the real YouTube app).

>>60789572

Yep that's good also, but the videos lag on my shitty phone.

Also SkyTube is great because you don't need a Google account, you just add subscriptions locally through the app.

>>60789844
Just make sure you are running mp4 and not webm. The latest newpipe is even faster and supports up to 4K. It makes skytube look like a joke, feature wise.

Is there a better torrent client than LibreTorrent? It keeps crashing on my shitphone and when it restarts it continues downloading instead of rechecking. I have a 607 MB .mkv where the actual file size should be 605 MB and yet LibreTorrent says it's only 10% done downloading.

does anyone know of a freedom respecting music player which either follows the jukebox paradigm or where you can modify the default action?

The player should import music and have playlists.
When you play a playlist, it should be able to pick a random song when one song is complete.
A single tap on a song should add it to the queue, so the player will only pick a random song when the queue is empty.
Most players can do this with two clicks, but I would like to get something better if there is one.

To deny certain apps internet access? I mean, you can achieve the same thing and more with XPosed but it doesn't support Nougat apparently. This is very essential if you're on a metered connection. You can make a profile to allow WiFi connections only. Also:

I really like the 'fit to width' too. May not be essential for some boards but often I end up clicking every picture when using clover.
'Fit to width' gets rid of that.
And it preloads images iirc.
Obviously only matters if your Internet and phone isn't shit, otherwise it will slow things down.

Yeah that's what I did. Honestly it looks good, but I'm too used to clover's UI and the way it works. I just hope floens forks some optional features from overchan.

>>60797074
Honestly clover could use an option to automatically download thumbnails since they seem to load slow sometimes. I also like the option where you can set the thumbnail size to 200%. Although I usually spend more time reading texts than looking at images I can see why it'd be useful.

>>60797438
Adaway+AFWall+. DNS66 is quite power hungry.

AIMP is a very good music player, imo.
Simple interface, Opus support, and good integration.

>>60797438
Adaway consumes less power (virtually 0), but requires root.
Same thing with AFWall+ > NetGuard.
DNS66 and NetGuard have a similar efficiency because they block ads the same way. Neither requires root.
The only advantage DNS66 has over AdAway is no root requirements.
If you need AFWall+ but don't have root, use NetGuard instead of DNS66.

However, NetGuard doesn't drain much power at all, at least on my phone (around 1%). I assume DNS66 would behave the same way. So I doubt the battery consumption is significant.

Because I don't need my keyboard sending out my keystrokes

>>60797746
Why use such a keyboard then?

>>60797671
Well, it's way worse than adaway, dns66 did take even about 5%-6%. Adaway takes zero.
And let's be honest, who the fuck hasn't rooted yet?

>>60797820
Root users are in a minority. Sure this is /g/, but it gets flooded with normies sometimes.

>>60788403
try Vanilla Music

I have a Core Plus Duo
Should I root it or it's not even worth the hassle?

>>6088668
Hasn't been my experience but DNS66 is really easy to use and blocks most in-app ads on my current phone. My last phone was rooted and had numerous Xposed modules along with adaway, I never had any ads at all but that phone had no custom roms and was stuck on 4.4. iOS also has a ton of ad-filled apps too

is there something like minminguard that doesn't require Xposed? really tired of mxplayer ads

Nothing from FDroid comes with ads in the applications themselves, though with NewPipe I sometimes get those ads that play before videos. The devs of NewPipe can't really help that but it's not a problem for me when I'm home since I have a memeberry pi dedicated to blocking ads.

Is there a libre replacement for ES Explorer? I need a file manager where sftp mounts are first class citizens.

>>60799474
I don't think so. It's very customizable, so you can probably fine tune the graphical options to find a decent config.

>beta tester
I'm on beta too but there hasn't been an update for months now and it's getting annoying. The new DAC support works beautifully on my LG G4 and it actually powers my headphones now but it's still an "experimental" feature and I wish they'd just come out with an actual stable version already. Themes dont work on beta either. Still best android player though.

i ended up relying on using aizoban, mimanganu, and tachiyomi simultaneously to organize various mangas by genre and website to get them from. its a pretty shitty solution but it forks for me - though aizoban has grown increasingly outdated and nonfunctional.

besides that i have nori for boorus; nhbooks for h-manga; and akhyou for anime (almost never works in my experience)

the shitty google play store is designed to make you install shitty apps. the search - ironically ehough for fucking GOOGLE - on that thing is fucking horrible.

There is autcompletition when you add

I use Foobar2000 for playing audio but it's truly an unfortunate situation where if you have albums with multiple artists, and you try to filter by album, it will separate the albums up by artist, so for example, I have 3 different entries for Chrono Trigger, one with Nobuo Uematsu, one with Yasunori Mitsuda, and one with Nobuo Uematsu and Noriko Matsueda. All I want is for it to just fucking list all the tracks in the album in one list! If I want to break it down by artist, I would choose to filter by Artist! So unbearably annoying that I am forced to simply use the folder browser instead. Sickening, really, I want to punch the developer in the face. But overall it has the best features of any free app I've tried. Neutron was the best audio quality I came across, but paying for a music player is something I will never stoop to.

>>60804866
Well I am referring to the Android version. Desktop Foobar2000 doesn't have any problems at all; if I want to filter by album, it filters by album, no bullshit. All the songs by the various artists are displayed, and are sorted by track.

On Android, I just want to push "Album" and get a list of all the albums, I don't want to see 3-4 different pictures of the same album and hunt around for the song I want; what if I want to listen to the album in track order? I have to go back and forth between the different artist entries to find each goddamn track. So I have to just use the file browser instead, which is really, really annoying. But there's truthfully no decent Android audio player that can handle my video game chiptune formats properly other than Foobar2000, that I know of anyway.

>>60788403
For music, I recommend "Phonograph Music Player". Best music player for Android so far.

So your raspberry intercepts http connections and it removes ads, or how else does that work? What about https?

>>60798959
I really like Document Viewer as well. Would recommend.

Also: Wi-Fi Privacy Police will make it so that your smartphone isn't a beacon sending out a uniquely identifying code to everyone when it's not actually using wifi.

To clarify: android (and iOS too I believe) constantly sends out requests to connect to known wifi networks to speed up the initial handshake. There is some company that creates tracking devices for store owners to provide analytics to store owners etc by listening to these requests. This app blocks that request and only reads the announcements from wifi routers.

Who really needs this? The app is there to run in background, you don't need themes.
Network speed graph and the traffic log aren't really important and if you need these there are apps for them.
Honestly the only important feature they've held back is "filter network traffic", but since this would mostly be used to block ads and you already have the ability to import hosts files (much more convenient) you don't lose much. Literally 1 or 2 useful, situational, functions. It's still a good app.

>>60810354
NetGuard doesn't drain battery that much, 1% >>60797671. It goes into power saving whenever you go offline. And no, NetGuard (the FDroid version) doesn't have this. Not sure if it needs it though since it establishes a constant VPN connection.

To be fair AFWall+ is still a better app and you should use it if you're rooted.

Set it to WHITE LIST(Allow selected) and white list the 3 non-app things I have to make sure everything works. Seriously, I'm running a custom ROM with Gapps and these 3 are all you need to receive Emails and WhatsApp messages the second they're supposed to arrive: The "1000:" thing (I believe optional). "10007" to receive WhatsApp messages instantly, it contains the push service I believe. And "Media Storage, Download Manager" otherwise you can't download from the Play Store.
The list you see with check marks is literally everything allowed to connect to the internet. I have dozens of other apps.

OOOOH before I forget. Get GlassWire. For Windows as well. It shows you which program (tried) to make a connection to the internet. It will warn you about every new connection from a program with a certain build name. If an application updates it will show again. It's a brilliant program.

I used to use AFWall but it wasn't blocking anymore even though it fucking used Linux' IP tables. Just like programs in W10 completely ignores the Host file.

PART 2

>CyberGhost
This is BY FAR the best free VPN provider. On Android no problem but a 3 hour time out. On Windows a fake "in queue" message that takes a few minutes but I've got a 200 mbit connection and I get fucking 200 mbit of VPN service for free, you just have to re queue (on Windows) every 3 hours. And you can't torrent on the free IP's.
>Uninstall
Lets you uninstall everything. Though nothing is actually installed on Android. The Dalvik runtime just compiles everything in folders when you open it. (I was a CyanogenMod programmer), so it just deletes the folders but be careful. If there's a call from another app to that folder you will get a minor error.
