Android FOSS thread? Also I have some questions.
1.Is there any way to get swipe typing working on full FOSS?
2.Any good launchers?
Also share your cool apps with your fellow freefriends.

How do y'all feel about ProtonMail?

>1.Is there any way to get swipe typing working on full FOSS?
No. Google's gesture typing technology is entirely proprietary. You can edit the .apk of the open source equivalent to include this proprietary technology, but there is no open source way to do it.

Wish it was on f-droid, not google play.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is probably my favorite phone game, and it's on f-droid to boot.
where that libresignal at senpai?

What's wrong with Trebuchet?
>>53852846
This. Shattered PD is god-tier
Any open source torrent clients for android? Using Flud rn.

It's like android was designed for children and non-professionals.

at least they weren't stupid enough to not include a calculator

Google keyboard is Foss and has the best swipe type
>>53853049
They're doing full FOSS only. Default Android has a perfectly fine email client. That's like suggesting Windows in a "best fully open source Linux distro" conversation.
I rate your bait as 7/10.

Your smartphone wifi module is app dependent? Nice.
Back to /v/eddit please.

Mind pointing at the source code, then?
>>53853184
Your smartphone WiFi driver is FOSS? Please, post sources.
>>53852954
I don't think so.
Why is it so hard for someone to just make a transmission port and slap some basic UI on it?
Hell, iOS even has a transmission port.

>iToy user can't comprehend using any mail client of his choosing and just syncing it with any other e-mail accounts he might have
It's like iOS was designed for childeren and tech illiterates.

Unnecessary if you really care about privacy as you should be using PGP. That said, K9-Mail + GnuPG is best combo. (Nevertheless, it seems to be an excellent mail provider.)
>>53853240
What dependencies does it have? It shouldnt be too hard.
>>53852954
The outdated shitty Frostwire on F-Droid. Probably the newer edition may be build similarly to remove the ad jars.
>>53852540
Android comes with swipe typing built in.
Are you that fucking autistic that you won't just use it because it isn't open software?
Guys, is Trebuchet really the only kinda-full-fledged launcher that we can get as FOSS? :(
>>53853355
Google keyboard does. The stock keyboard that comes with most custom firmware lacks swiping.

>caring about the fourth amendment is only for the autistic
>>53853409
>The fourth amendment applies to private corporations
>>53853444
Obviously not... which is why we avoid them. What are you trying to say?
>>53853517
What I am saying is the fourth amendment is irrelevant.
>>53853049
There's idiots... And then there's this guy.

>1.Is there any way to get swipe typing working on full FOSS?
No, there's no free as in freedom implementation of Swype, you can run it if you flash or copy the necessary closed source library, but then it wouldn't be full FOSS
But at least you won't flash Play Services and you won't be running Google Keyboard, not that it will be any different though
Unfortunately a good FOSS Swype implementation will be pretty hard to appear ever, since by design it needs a lot of data mining
>2.Any good launchers?
A lot of people like KISS, I'm fine with Trebuchet
>>53853049
Is there even a way to have GPG in iOS?
>>53853162
Most of the code is, but the Swype libs aren't, and I believe most of the sync code isn't either
