We have similar lists, so some considerations:

  • Helium314 fork of OpenBoard for keyboard
  • Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I'm blanking on the name of)
  • Matrix with a Signal bridge so you can use tablets and other devices with Element, which has a wider range of devices
  • NeoLauncher is like OL, but with more configuration
  • Thunder for Lemmy. Great client, and only one with 2 column tablet support

I honestly don't use that much foss on my Android phone, but DVD has to be my favourite. I like sharing memes as videos instead of links in chat apps and it lets me download videos from just about any app or site by just sharing the link to the DVD app. It uses yt-dl in the background, so any site supported by that should work.

I also constantly use Bitwarden, Aegis and Home Assistant along with a couple less often used ones. Those three felt so obvious to me that I didn't feel like picking them as my favourite :)

Newpipe, for watching youtube videos without ads or tracking

Openboard keyboard for the one feature I can never be without again: moving the cursor by swiping left or right on the spacebar, it's a godsend for selecting stuff with my wide fingers

Catima - for saving arbitrary barcodes and stuff that are hard to integrate into other wallets. I keep my local library card in there, and it works wonderfully

Nonocross - fun little game that has zero frills and distractions. Also very responsive on their github to suggestions and improvements

Termux - when I need to get into things from afar, this is how I do it

Box, Box! - Formula 1 news, schedules, standings, etc

Coffee - Sometimes I want to keep the display awake, so this comes in handy

Nextcloud News I like for RSS since it fetches the full text article. Obtainium lkke others mentioned is a must have for me.

F-Droid, Voyager, Eternity, Libretube

Material Files - the best files app I've ever used! Clean, material design and has everything I need. It can even run an FTP server

[โ€“] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I used that but it started to feel bloated after a while.

Here are some not mentioned in this thread yet.

I'd recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it's hardened.

It's basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile

Obsidian isn't FOSS. I highly recommend Logseq but keep in mind they require CLA signing for contributions

[โ€“] Elephant0991@lemmy.bleh.au 3 points 11 months ago

2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.

[โ€“] enshu@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.

OpenBoard + predictive text binary

[โ€“] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Ente Auth is nice for OTPs, it looks nice and I like that it shows the next code in case it's about to switch.

Neo Store for browsing fdroid

Moshidon for Mastodon

[โ€“] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Obtainium is pretty good
