Some other simple things

8. Disable google advertising ID in phone settings

9. Install F-Droid where you can discover many FLOSS apps deliberately not published on google play

10. Switch from a fingerprint to a pin (added bonus that police in several countries can legally force your thumb onto your phone but cant legally force you to give up a pin)

11. Switch from google notification servers to something else like microg and/or set notifications to not display message content or at least not display message content when the phone is locked (Im pretty sure all that can be done from notification settings)

12. Switch from googles keyboard app to an open source alternative from f-droid (google has been fined millions before for illegally and secretly tracking geolocation it wouldnt surprise me if they do the same with keystrokes, and also mic and camera)

13. There's a bunch of other phone-home features spread across the settings but mostly under privacy category and accessibility category that you might want to turn off if you have no use for

I'm setting up a new phone today (still a #Fairphone3, just a less broken one...) using #lineageOS for the first time, and I'm curious to see how far I can get without using #GooglePlay...

#fdroid delivering so far...

LineageOS for microG
https://lineage.microg.org/

The naming is misleading: The images provided by this project include microG preinstalled.

microG as a replacement for the Google Services is probably not perfect, but at least among the apps I downloaded from the Play Store with Aurora, I didn't find any that doesn't work with it.

(AFAIU, paid apps are not supported by Aurora.)

Is there some open app that's able to measure stuff via camera and sensors, which replaces the need for Google ARcode like this one needs?
https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/de.westnordost.streetmeasure

I definitely won't carry measuring tape with me all the time, and microG probably doesn't have any Google AR stuff.

Urgent Android help! SOLVED using @decibyte’s advice: I used Pixel 9a spoofing profile in Aurora Store. Thank you all! 🌻

I must install the Interrail Android app in order to to activate my Interrail ticket, but Aurora Store tells me the app is not available for my device. How can I get it? I could maybe download the APK from Apkpure, but I’d use it as the last resort, since I don’t know how trustworthy it is.

I’m using a Fairphone 5 running CalyxOS 6.8.21, and Aurora Store v4.7.2, downloaded from F-Droid all features are enabled in MicroG. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Aurora

Get a NAS with #Docker support (like #TrueNAS. You can install web-services like @nextcloud which is a completely self hostable Google Drive/Google Docs replacement with addons to extend functionality.

#DuckDuckGo is currently the best search engine that isn't self hosted however #SearXNG is self hostable and very customisable.

#OSMAnd (customisable) or #OrganicMaps (straight forward) for Maps. Both use #OpenStreetMaps

#Android replacement, well Android. I personally recommend @calyxos which comes with an open source replacement to emulate Play Services called #MicroG

Although #Proton is technically a great service, CEO has come out as a Trump supporter so I'll leave that to your personal opinon. Another good service is @Tutanota
