My phone mostly de-googled: 2/3.
My app alternatives:
Clock - #Fossify clock
Calculator - Fossify calculator
Google Photos - Fossify gallery
Google Keep - Fossify notes
Google Contacts - Fossify contacts
Google Phone - Fossify phone
Google File Manager - Fossify File Manager
GMail - #Proton Mail
Google Drive - Proton Drive (also for photo online backup)
Google Calendar - Proton Calendar
Google Passwords - Proton Pass
Google Maps - #Organic Maps
Google Family - #Paralino (location sharing)
Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais je préfère encore l'ergonomie de #QuikSMS par rapport à #FossifyMessages (en alternative à #Google #GoogleMessages) #sms
Je me sens plus à l'aise malgré qu'il n'y a pas les petites finitions de #Fossify j'ai trouvé sympa le blocage par mot-clés, mais moins l'ouverture lente des images via une applications externe.
Comme le l'ai pas installé via le #PlayStore Google je peux pas donner mon avis donc je le fais ici 
c'est peut-être mieux ainsi ^^
Samsung, I do not recall consenting to you having a copy of every photo I took with my phone. This picture has long since been moved off of my device and onto other storage (thanks #SyncThing), and yet, here it is on my phone again.
I even thought I had disabled the default gallery app entirely, in favour of Fossify Gallery. But still your own app is running and sending me notifications --- of my late family dog, no less.
Fucking gross. Ew.
@ilumium I have #e_os official system. I can't uninstall any of the default apps, and only decativate very few. Unfortunately, since I do tend to prefer many #fossify apps over the defaults.
I don't know why @e_mydata are so unflexible. Worst thing is the launcher - #blisslauncher - which is causing a lot of problems.
New blog post: “
FOSS Android Essentials: A Whole‑Phone Guide”
I got tired of random updates breaking my layout — so I rebuilt my phone setup from the ground up with FOSS tools I actually trust. All open, all mine. 
Take back control, one app at a time?

Quelqu'un pour m'expliquer pourquoi Fossify horloge ne sonne pas à l'heure où j'ai programmé l'alarme mais quelques minutes plus tard ?
Hier il a sonné à 6h17 au lieu de 6h.
Ce matin à 6h21 au lieu de 6h15.

* File manager: Fossify File Manager (Play/F-Droid)
* Gallery: Fossify Gallery (Play/F-Droid), Aves Gallery (Play/F-Droid/Accrescent)
* Notes: EasyNotes (Accrescent/F-Droid)

* Weather: BreezyWeather (Obtainium/Play/F-Droid)
* Mastodon: Moshidon (Obtainium/Play/F-Droid), Tusky (Play/F-Droid/Obtainium)
* Matrix: Schildichat (F-Droid, own F-Droid repo)
* Sunup: For apps that support UnifiedPush as notification service (Obtainium/Play/F-Droid)
Yesterday I swapped out all the Simple Mobile Tools apps I've been using for the Fossify forks. It was surprisingly painless. #HatTip to the folks maintaining these.
The original Free Code versions of the apps were built with export/ import tools, for both data and settings in some cases. Obviously the Fossify versions have that too, and it worked seamlessly. I've still got the Simple APS installed in case of any gotchas, but if none crop up I'll delete them in a week or so.
#Android #CalyxOS #Einstellungen #Frage
Update:
Habe jetzt die Anrufe-App von #Fossify geladen, da funktioniert das so wie es soll. Bisschen schade, dass das bei CalyxOS nicht angezeigt wird. Mal gucken, wie gut sich die Fossify App schlägt, laut GitHub Seite soll es ja noch einige Bugs geben. Hoffe nicht, dass die bei mir in Erscheinung treten.
Moin.
Wer von euch hat denn CalyxOS Android und kann mir sagen, wie ich die Info für die Anruferliste von relativer Zeitangabe (also z. B. vor 3 Stunden) auf absolute Zeitangabe (also z. B. 6:39 Uhr) umstellen kann?
Mich macht das ganz kirre, wenn ich sehe, dass ich einen Anruf verpasst habe, aber nicht die Uhrzeit sehen kann.
Wo kann ich das einstellen?
Ich hab schon einiges abgesucht, finde aber nix. 
@TechEthique Punaise ! J'étais justement en train de me dire que ces applis que j'utilise quotidiennement (coucou l'agenda) n'avaient pas été mises à jour depuis un bail, qu'il faudrait que je voie quel est le problème (je suis peu ce genre d'actualité) et que je règle ça.
Énorme merci pour la découverte de #Fossify qui sont déjà toutes installées 
Hahaha l'horloge #fossify a pas fait le chamgement d'heure des réveils et vient de sonner avec une heure de retard. Magique.
(Conséquence directe: j'ai une heure de retard)
I hate AM/PM time format so much. It's so endlessly inferior, prone to confusion, and just adds more buttons to the user interface.
Yet my #NextCloud web interface won't allow me to change to 24H format for my calendar 
At least this isn't a problem on my phone where I got #Fossify Calendar, which is pretty good and customizable

Dúbida breve:
Alguén ten probado a colección de apss de Fossify en #fdroid ? Porque mirei que teñen bastantes cousas básicas, pero non sei que tal son nin se son de fiar(?)
Vielen 
Dank für eure Tipps. Den #GoogleCalendar konnte ich durch #Fossify Calendar ersetzen und habe bei der Gelegenheit auch noch Fossify Contacts installiert.
I was a bit slow on this one, but I finally disabled Google Maps on my phone! I've been using Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app/) for a little while now and I've had a great experience. I just have two issues:
1) Unless I download Organic Maps from the Google Play Store, I can't use it with Android Auto when I'm in a car. I want to disconnect from Google, so this is not ideal.
2) It seems like @organicmaps is the official Mastodon account, but they don't have their website verified.
It only took a few minutes to copy the places I had saved on Google Maps into a note in #Fossify Notes (https://www.fossify.org/). As usual, I'm finding that plain text notes are exactly what I need and give me a better experience than these bloated corporate apps.
Antes he compartido un link a la web de #SimpleMobileTools con apps sencillas para Android sin publicidad y sin permisos innecesarios (Calendario, Contactos, Archivos, Galería y Mensajes)
Lo he borrado y comparto el link a #Fossify, que es un fork de esas apps y que es mejor porque 1) Simple Mobile Tools tenía vinculación con Israel y 2) Las apps ya no tienen actualizaciones, y las de Fossify sí.
Gracias a @kurio y a @atmuntenas por las advertencias.
I've got #IronFox installed on my phone and have deleted #Firefox ! Again, having never saved passwords or preserved sessions, cookies, etc. made this so easy. I also had already started keeping my bookmarks in a text file on #Fossify Notes (https://www.fossify.org/ or available on #FDroid), so those were no issue either. It's crazy how few note applications for Android allow you to just write notes as plain text files that you can copy to a computer.
I did notice that F-Droid warns the upstream code is not entirely free, and I don't know the specific details of that, but almost anything is better than letting #Mozilla sell my data.
Respondiendo a un par de mensajes sobre móviles... Mientras vuelve BlackBerry* (ja ja), este es el mío. Los teclados físicos no son solo mejores para escribir y más bonitos, también abren las aplicaciones (la M para Mastodon, of course), navegan, copian y pegan...
(El lanzador es mLauncher; el teléfono, #Fossify; el correo, #FairEmail; los mapas, @organicmaps)
* @editora sigue en la trinchera, bravo :)
I've been curious about the Duoqin F22 (non-pro) for a while, but was hesitant to try it as I had already experimented with several, let's say "non-traditional" phones, and kept going back to my also not traditional Unihertz Jelly Star, which I've been using as my daily phone for the past two years or so.
Well, curiosity got the better of me. So... hi?
