>ask Sup Forums about Android apps
>get told to look at the wiki
>it doesn't even have a good selection of apps
>it's missing stuff like Libretorrent and Opengur
Can we finally make the Android apps wiki worth looking at by adding as many Sup Forums approved apps as possible?

SuperSU has been bought by a sketchy as fuck chinese shell company with ZERO information available about their leadership, history etc. And of course, is closed source!
Assume it's compromised
Stop using it
Stop recommending it
Stop using any Chinese-owned software or Chinese-manufactured devices
We're at war, and they are not your friend
Remove SuperSU for Superuser
Add freedom and market unlocker as a alternative to lucky patcher

I didn't recommended a music/video player because is a matter of taste. But there is Timber for music and VLC for video.
I hope this thread lives tomorrow, would like to see what other is recommended here and maybe dump a list of games from F-Droid too.
Nevermind what I said, that is not it, there is more. Will end tomorrow.

Holy fuck, thank you. Especially since you're not just dropping them here, but also writing a small description for each and every one. Mind you, do you know how much of those are available on F-Droid?
Also, this one is not an app itself, but you should probably add Raccoon somewhere in there. It allows you to download apks from the Play Store from your own account to your own computer. A godsend for people who avoid GAPPS, but want to continue using modern apps that are not on F-Droid. Aptoide and APKPure are simply not that trustworthy in my opinion (although they do make downloading apps on the fly possible).
Actually true. They ought to change their design a bit, though.

Oh, on your question, ALL are from F-Droid.
Definitely will look on Raccoon.
LeafPic has quite a ways to go. I'm not sure if this is a problem because I'm running CM, but try zooming in on a picture (using a double tap). Then, tap once to bring up the banner thing - the picture is no longer zoomed! This does not happen with the stock gallery or other gallery apps I've tried. Not to mention that rotation isn't implemented yet.
It's nice, but it feels "heavy" for some reason. I wonder how the QuickPic guy did it - his app ran great even on older phones.
Jesus, I knew F-Droid had a lot of apps, but not that many, and especially not that many "everyday" ones. I'd thought they had mostly technological stuff.
Correcting myself, there are four apps not in F-Droid. Lucky patcher, ViPER4Android, microg and mpv. The rest is all in F-Droid.
Looking for a nice weather widget, can any of you recommend one?
this is pretty cool
>dodgy weather
I hate that thing, but god damn this is clever.
>proprietary store
How do you even find links to go to on Orfox? I try to Duckduckgo the info it but links never ever work.

What's a good messaging app for non-root android? I moved over from windows phone and just realized that stock messenger app on my phone doesn't do gif support wtf google.
wow, rare quality thread.
For SMS?
Google Messenger if you want to be a normie, Silence for muh privacy and FOSS
For locked in services?
WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, or Signal for muh privacy/FOSS
I don't know anyone that uses any of those, they all use stock. So since my stock is shit and cannot into .gifs I guess Google is the way to go.
The thing I was worried about with these apps is a 3rd party reading my shit..but I guess that is unavoidable since technology today is fucked. But damn Google is the main one? I'd almost rather give my conversations to anyone else.
wiki this shit pham

Turbo Editor.
is textra a botnet or what?
Does nobody read Western comics here...? Fucking weeaboos man.
Bubble is a great cbz reader.
DNS66 - rootless adblocker
Technically I'm sure there some devices made in Japan or Korea.
doesn't seem like it
>gif
>in SMS
Why? Just use the Facebook messenger then.
Anyone hear anything about being able to root the Fire 8 that's running Fire OS 5.3.1? I've been seeing a lot of chatter on xda but it's literally just shitters telling you to download kingroot which never works.
microg has an F-droid repo that you can add.
>torrenting on your phone
Why can't I find out anything about the parent company? Surely a company that asks for every permission in the book can be trusted with this kind of data, especially when it is impossible to find out anything about the company right user?
There's a new weather app on F-Droid called "Good Weather". It uses OpenWeatherMap data, too. Sadly, it doesn't have a widget (though that's on the dev's to-do list)
Are there any apps that let me deny programs permissions? It's bullshit that a fucking file reader wants access to my location.
They haven't really been found to do anything bad. They are the same company that does ChompSMS which has been around since Android 1.6
Like this privacy policy says, if you don't like their ad policy, don't use the app and use SecureSMS instead.
It's called "Android 6.0".
Seriously, though, Xprivacy may probably work in your case (faking location), but I've heard it has security holes, so certain apps may bypass it.
AppOpsXposed and Xprivacy.
Someone please tell me the widget in this pic. The one that says October.
It's a part of the Pixel Launcher
Thanks user.
Sleep for Android, a shit ton of features including one to induce lucid dreaming.
I've never achieved a lucid dream where I could control everything. Yes, I did go lucid, but I was in a tiny black room - I could move around, and I just saw my eyes shining in a mirror on the wall. I couldn't fly or anything. Panicked and woke up right after. I got creeped out by this and I never tried again.
>still no GoneMAD on the list
>why do you fucking people even bother
Gonemad is shit you loser
