NewPipe
Lightning
Vlc
>>
DAVdroid for calendar/contact syncing
K-9 for email
OsmAnd~ for navigation
Overchan for shitposting
SatStat to see what GPS is doing
ug UnifiedNlp for google-less geolocation
Telegram because who the fuck uses whatsapp
Fennec or IceCatMobile as browsers, both are in the archive right now but soon IceCat should be the best choice.

Also, find a rom without google apps or play services, no reason to go FOSS on a system that's already tainted.

figure it senpai, there is a bunch of great shit on f-droid.

>Telegram because who the fuck uses whatsapp
Use something that respect your privacy more, like whatsapp, google chat or facebook chat. Or actually get something good for private messages like Signal.
>>
>>53101820
There is an xmpp client called Conversations which is allegedly pretty good. I don't use Android, so I don't know if there is a way to use the OMEMO Axolotl port on it.
>>
>>53104132
Is there anything that uses chat heads like Facebook Messenger? It's really useful.
>>
Speaking of free software, what's the most freedom respecting ROM that's not Replicant? I think it's time I try to break free from the stranglehold Google has me in

Have fun cleaning out the malware you get from that shithole.
>>
>>53105632
I have a Note 3, and I already do all of that but chat heads are much more convenient. Fast, simple, able to switch between conversations quickly. It can't be that hard to implement, why no foss software has this or something similar?

Replace Lightning for web browser

Add Pixel Dungeon for "Only game you will ever need, but probably won't play, because you shouldn't do that on. Phones",
KISS for custom launcher,
Twidre for Twitter,
OpenKeychain for PGP

How to find IceCatMobile on F-Droid?
>>
>>53102663
Is it just me or is newpipe absolutely horribly buggy and non functional? It can't play half the videos I ask it to but when I do it's even worse. The download feature for video straight yo doesn't work. The audio DL downloads it to an unnamed file of no type and when I change it to .mp3 and play it, they're always 24:34 and it starts at 24:34 minus the video length. It can't find VLC when I try to play in a streaming app, even though it's installed. Really really weird and I feel like nobody else has these issues.

What methods have you tried?

It can't be done and you will brick your device

>>53108120
it's always really slow for me.
If you don't like it, I recommend Webtube until it gets better. Webtube's more of a wrapper for the desktop site but it works well enough.

What's a file browser that lets me browse my external SD card

>>53110879
