There was once a time where I thought living with apps from only F-Droid was impossible.
Now, F-Droid is my only app store, and I only use Aurora Store for banking apps (and even then, I prefer to do banking on desktop).

I recently switched to a phone with only microG installed, absolutely 0 Google services.
It works insanely well nowadays.

Is that possible on stock rom? What are you running?
- Domi ( @domi@lemmy.secnd.me ) 4•1 year ago
I don’t think it’s possible to get rid of everything in the stock ROM.
I usually install LineageOS on all my phones but I’m on /e/OS right now because Lineage is not available yet.

Just started doing exactly this recently. Aurora fills the gaps for the stuff that I need without the play store.
This is exactly what I am doing.
I am very grateful to the foss community that this is possible.- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English4•1 year ago
I got late to the party, I still use the Google Play Store, but I find some neat apps with Fdroid from time to time, and I was like “hey this isn’t that bad” I feel weird to have spend so much time looking for individual APK files ngl.

Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.
- RandomLegend [He/Him] ( @RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 11•1 year ago
Not only nicer looking, but comes preinstalled with multiple repos
Installed it, and uninstalled regulär fdroid itself

Great app! I’ve been using it for years and it just gets better and better over time

My favorite F-droid app: !boinc@sopuli.xyz
- Open Source
- Uses your phone’s spare computational power to help scientists working on everything from cancer research to finding pulsars and black holes. You choose which projects to contribute to. Phones are more compute-per-watt efficient than most computers, and every little bit helps!
- Can’t be published in Google Play store due to their ToS (it downloads and executes code from outside of its own APK which is not allowed)
- Make sure to limit CPU usage to keep temps down. If your phone can’t get rid of heat easily, this app is not for you.
- Albbi ( @Albbi@lemmy.ca ) 18•1 year ago
Seems like awful use of your phone battery. Things like this are much better suited to desktop computers than anything that runs off battery. Even if they are more efficient as you say, they wear out much faster, leading to e-waste.
- makeasnek ( @makeasnek@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
By default it only runs when battery is full and plugged into a charger. If you are keeping temps low there is no battery damage. I have ran this for years on several different phones.
can’t trust it (blindly) for some reason… but there are other reasons I will not get into here
