I did use F-Droid, now I use Obtanium. I use Mull Browser as well, but I really like Fulguris Browser better
I love Fulguris
I just found Futo keyboard. Works very well and has offline voice input that works great.
How does it compare to HeliBoard?
I’ve stopped using Mull because always seems to have issue on my phone + it only gets update once a month if you are lucky.
Try Tubular instead newpipe There are more functions like sponsorblock
Whats wrong with regular firefox?
On Android, Mull offers more extensions, unless that’s changed recently
I think they offer the same But you can install any extension you want https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/
Nothing wrong with Firefox, it’s my main browser
- NewPipe
- Breezy Weather
- Secure Camera GitHub / Google Play
You didn’t specify open source so I’ll post a mixture…
GrayJay (YouTube and other streaming video) RiMusic (YT music streamer) Easy Noise (white noise for sleeping) Peristyle (wallpaper changer)
Anyone heard of grayjay? Great multi-platform video player.
I love it and payed for it.
Same!
How did you configure the RethinkDNS. I tried it but I don’t know how to configure the DNS not to block all my internet traffic.
Firewall -> universal firewall rules. Or you can run it in dns mode only if you dont want to block any apps.
- KDE Connect: Transfer files, clipboard, notifications between your phone and computer on your local network.
- Unit Lab: Easy converter. Allows you to add different units together (eg. 5kg + 10lb + 4 stone).
- Seal: Great front-end for yt-dlp. Allows you to download YT/IG/TikTok videos. Would like to see IG image download support.
- AVNC: VNC client, allowing me to remotely access my laptop from my phone via local network.
- Binary Eye: Barcode scanner with the option to turn on scan history.
- Copy: Copy text from apps that otherwise may not allow you to copy text. Also allows for easy taking of screenshots.
- Save To…: Useful for saving certain files that sometimes don’t give the option to save.
- Secure Tether: Share your mobile data as a hotspot for other phones/computers, bypassing your provider’s restrictions on hotspot.
How could I forget about KDE Connect. I also use Binary Eye. Great list!
Rethink was okay for me, latest update seems to quit a lot, and it doesn’t warn me, just gone.
Back to DNS66, which at least doesn’t do that.
DNS66 is also very good, but the last update was 3 years ago.
