F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
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.
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?
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.
This is exactly what I am doing.
I am very grateful to the foss community that this is possible.
Just started doing exactly this recently. Aurora fills the gaps for the stuff that I need without the play store.
