For a non-rooted phone:
>F-droid
>Adblock Fast (if Samsung)
>Opera beta (best 4chan navigation + favourite boards on speed dial)
>Orbot (Android Tor)
>Twilight (Filters out blue light so you can sleep)
Malwarebytes (Has 'Security audit' and 'Privacy audit' options)
>Wifi Analyzer
>Signal (the non-retard Whatsapp)
>Encrypted e-mail service such as Tutanota, Protonmail (my favourite) or GhostApp.
>A password manager such as Keepass2Droid

Two apps I couldn't do without:

Firefox Nightly
RetroArch if you enjoy playing video games

Everything else really isn't very essential.
Is there any music player for Android phones that isn't garbage?

Didn't like Clover the one time I tries it. The thing about Opera are those God tier arrows that let you navigate to the top or bottom of a thread in smooth af fashion.

The Samsung browser has 'Request PC version' which I find very useful.

Switched to Red Moon though - good stuff.

"Request PC version" is available on almost any browser, isn't it? I never used opera, but it should have that too

Speaking of normie shit.

I use clover just for downloading pic albums and easily unchecking the ones I don't want to download

Unified Remote, Tinfoil for Facebook, Greenify, Adaway.

What is a good app that I can mark my GPS position with and come back to it later? Only GPS, I don't need maps or other shit. (Basically I want to test if mushrooms grow back in the same spot after you pick them)
>>
gravitybox
>>
>>55614032
Omich Player is the only correct answer.
>>
>>55617970
This. It makes android's UI twice as fast to use. Why aren't navigation key action settings (eg. setting what double tapping or holding the back, home, and recents buttons does) built in to android by now anyway?
>>
>>55613704
That chinese crap has served me well over the years, but I'll check out Solid Explorer. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>
>>55619414
Well N is going to make double tap recents return to last app, but that's about it. And I prefer long hold for that function. Every button should have secondary and tertiary functions completely customizable.
>>
>>55613844
>>55614108
I kinda like Flux better since it automatically switches for you and doesnt need to be open in the background to work.
>>
The ones you need.

Ignore the manchildren tweaks itt. Most of them will be probably of low quality and make your Android run worse.
>>
>>55613643

enjoy your botnet

ever monitored the connections it makes?

This is undisputed: the best launcher is Action Launcher 3.

Also this>>55619667

>>55619815
Looks like bloat tßh
>>
xprivacy, old es explorer, old opera, tor browser, adaway,afwall+, an ftp server and wireless sharing app easily found on fdroid.
>>
>>55615768
It does.

>>55614108
Also can download youtube (or any other) videos. P useful. Also data-saving mode.
>>
>>55619615
That feature and gravitybox's app launcher are the only reasons why I bother rooting when I get a new phone. They make using a phone so much faster. Adblock is just a bonus.

what is the point of this? it says it doesn't block ads in other apps, just when using Samsung Internet

but who doesn't use firefox?
>>
>>55621576
I just use scp from Termux. It's so much easier when you have a ssh server running on every machine, so you don't have to interact with a machine you want to send something to.
>>
I'm looking for software that will lock down a phone, and let me teamviewer (Or otherwise remote control it, or start an app) whenever I want. It's a BDSM thing, my sub's been asking me to set up something to control their phone. Any advice? It's abit of a hassle to keep on restarting TV
>>
What is the point of aptoide, I could find hardly any full versions of anything.

-Xposed Framework + xPrivacy, Gravity Box, Amplify
