>>62354064
Clover
Lightning

that's it

If no one else will mention it, Red Moon (FOSS version of Twilight)

>>62354120
What the fuck is the point of Yalp Store?

>>62354246
Night screen is also very good.

>>62354246
Twilight is more stable though. Redmoon crashed or glitched out so often that I just ponied up the dough for paid version of twilight

>>62354120
How good is ths Yalp Store compared to APKTrack? Does it really download unmodified APKs from the Play Store?

>>62354301
>>62354263
it's really good, don't need to have play store service installed, it downloads the apks directly from google servers by using a public account. The point is, if you have an open source android OS you can download all the play store apps without installing play service.

>>62354350
how do you get paid versions of apps?

>>62354367
I'm guessing you can use your own Google credentials on it? That's a good question.

>>62354367
You don't. Fucking buy or pirate

>>62354179
why does the calculator app needs to find accounts on my phone and needs network access?

>>62354367
it gives you a sign in prompt in the browser when you want to purchase an app or install the app you purchased. Tried this long ago but didn't work for me

>>62354390
idk i don't see any option, you can spoof your phone model tho
>>62354367
Aptoid, it compares the hashes of the apps and scans for viruses so you can pirate (almost) safely
>>62354487
good question

>>62354632
>>62354406
does this work with the poweramp unlocker? I already bought poweramp years ago but I recall it being notoriously hard to pirate/circumvent. Also, if you have something like yalp store or aptoide or whatever, does it keep your paid apps updated like play store? The convenience is the only reason I still use play store, if I could be read of it without losing those features, I'd do it in a heartbeat

>>62354147
>>62354105
Any reason I should use adaway instead of DNS66? DNS66 doesn't require root access and can also change DNS addresses.

>Clover
Why are you not using clover?

>>62354722
Poweramp is easy as fuck to crack. Never bought the app in one year of daily usage. Just apply the second custom patch from lucky patcher and you're done

>>62354761
From varying sources, it seems that DNQ66 is a battery drainer. I never used it so I can't tell, but one of the strong points of Adaway is that blocking and you can add yourself websites to block

>>62354632
"By default Yalp Store connects to Google services using a built-in account, soyou do not have to own a Google account to use it. The only reason to use a live Google account is to access the paid apps you own."

>>62354880
Because Dashchan exists.

>>62354632
What do you mean by almost safe?

>>62354297
>>62354246
Words of advise
Don't install the latest version it crashes on boot

>>62354064
Frex, fractal generator. But it seems to have been removed.

>>62354487
BOTNET, F-DROID IS UNSAFE

>>62360115
Proof?

Some of my favs are:

NewPipe
Termux
Equate
OpenKeychain
K9-Mail
Password Store
Authenticator
Simple Loan Calculator

>still running kitkat
>can't have termux

>>62360233
Just look at the permissions that calculator app wanted. Holy SHIT

>>62360338
So don't install that calculator app. Wow that was hard.

Yalp Store is great I had no idea it worked so well.

>>62354892
It lasts only for a month. I switched to Neutron, it's more reliable to crack and doesn't need gapps.

Have any of you tried Blokada and is it any good compared to AdAway?

>>62354367
Why the fuck would you pay for apps you retard

>>62360421
Vpn based garbage.

>>62354064
Termux

>>62360325
I hope your rom has updated security level at least.

>>62360290

Oh, and I forgot, Net Monitor. It logs everything going on the network, and where it goes.

>>62354761
Adaway is better at blocking but requires root. DNS66 is slightly worse at blocking but doesn't need root to function.

Anyone else having trouble updating repository on F-droid?

>>62360642
it happens to me every once in a while, i just uninstall it and get the newest apk from the website

>>62360515
which net monitor?

I know right?

>Control vibration

>Draw over other apps
Has a floating feature I guess?
>Full network access
Now what?!
>Prevent phone from sleeping

>Find accounts on the device
Seriously why?

>>62354487
>>62360858
It does not sound good, searched if there was a behavior in this like, type and number and create a contact, but there isn't such thing.

Faggots this calculator is calculator by xylthe on play store. It has in app purchases on play store which doesn't work in fdroid version because fdroid strips off non free Google play billing library. So although the permissions are there, it doesn't work.

Why not just use AOSP calculator?

>>62362862
It can be done in terminal emulator. Why do you need extra bloat of termux?

Why is Adaway better at adblocking? You can add the same filter lists in both apps. Both of them are hosts-based ad blockers.

>>62354120
Why have Newpipe and Skytube? Is there a point to having both?

>>62364381
Not the guy, but my guess is Adaway actually edits the hosts file in root, while DNS66 probably adds another layer of abstraction that emulates a hosts functionality, which would likely consume more resources. At least, that's how it sounds like to me. (I don't know the internals of either of them for sure though)

>>62364832
yes absolutely. I use newpipe for the floating window feature and to download songs/videos. I use skytube because it has a working subscribe system unlike newpipe which requires an rss app and also use skytube for casual youtube watching.

>>62354222

>>62354222
>Lightning
how do you block ads?

>>62354064
Tachiyomi.

>>62365374
Adaway can block ads on Lightning. Although it isn't as good as uBlock origin on Nightly.

>>62364919
Adaway directly blocks ads through the device host file. Thus DNS requests are never made.

DNS66 sets up a VPN and intercepts DNS requests through the VPN so as to block DNS requests. The result is that DNS66 runs (presumably) DNSMasq and a VPN passthrough, all of which requires overhead.

It's also possible to miss things occasionally through the DNS intercept approach, although this is super rare. Simply put, Adaway is just way better, but that's why it needs root. If you don't have root, use DNS66.

>>62366735
oh wait it does, nvm

How do you get adaway to work on nougat? It isnt working for me and i doubt that it is the OASP browser doing tricky shit. (lineage 14.1)

>>62354064

KISS launcher is great

>>62366800
Doesn't block youtube ads though

>>62366134
>ghost commander
Total commander and its plugins can be downloaded from the dev's website though.

>>62354064
Why aren't there any launchers that lets you group apps like any default ones do?

Also, maybe a stupid question but I can't find an app that gets the lockscreen to be a different image than the wallpaper.

Also, too normie to root. Pls be gentle.

>>62367422
>>62367422
Tons of them do. Nova Launcher is a must buy in my humble opinion. Just wait for it to go on sale (which it does regularly). So get the free version, go pro when it goes on sale :)

The lockscreen question depends on a couple of things. Some lockscreens might be locked to your wallpaper. You should be able to work around this with a different launcher, but depends on whether you use the built in gallery to set your wallpaper, or whether you set it through the launcher. Nova again. Use Nova to set your wallpaper and see what happens.

We were all normies once..

>>62367474
Adding onto what this anon says about Nova, if you do buy prime on the play store you can email the dev and get a code for it so you dont need to have gapps.
>>62367422
I am able to set lockscreen separately here with Nova, but that might just be Lineage. YMMV on non "stock" android.

Hey, is there any FTP _client_ for android that is free software or at least open souce? Couldn't find any from F-Droid!
