Is there a list of highly recommended and trustworthy android apps, both FOSS and proprietary?
I see some posts but there must be a community approved list that is periodically updated.
Thanks!
Too broad of a question, so either the person needs to pick just a few ones, or to spend a few hours writing an answer. I’d have quite a few suggestions, but likewise, can’t think of any I’d pick over others, and don’t want to spend a few hours again.
Hail with Shizuku. It makes debloating easier plus about 6:1 of my apps are frozen through it because while I want (or in some cases need) them I also don’t want them to have free run to freely run in the background until I say they can.
I use Hail with Shizuku to freeze apps I don’t want running in the background too, but for debloating specifically I’ve found Canta, which also needs Shizuku rights, to be an absolute godsend.
Apps on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid (f-droid repo) are generally trustworthy.
Anything specific you are looking for?
Not specifically. I just discovered Blip from a post and it’s been great. I was curious about what people find are useful that are not well known.
A week or so ago, I did see that some people were raising some concern over downloading from f-droid and to use obtanium to directly install apps from GitHub instead.
I’m using both, the only real difference is you have to trust the github hosted apk with obtainium.
I have some 1800 APKs on my server - if we say half of them are duplicates that’s still 800.
And you expect me to index and review them all for you?
You’d be better served to ask for specific recommendations.
