    These are all free without ads:

    VLC for movies and music.

    Simple Text Editor, which is a lightweight and easy to use text editor You can configure it save on exit and open the last file.

    ReadEra PDF reader.

    RadioDroid is a free and open source internet radio player. Search for stations and genres around rhe world. It’s waaay better than any of the other things on the Play Store.

    Shader Editor if you like programming GLSL fragment shaders.

    Krita for digital painting on a tablet.

    Autodesk Sketchbook for digital painting on a phone or tablet. It has a paid tier, but the free version is great on its own.

    Open Camera, open source camera software. It lets you overcome the limitations of the default app. I like using it when I want a more analog look (I disabled image noise reduction in app).

    Manual Camera is a good camera app if you want total control over certain thing like focus, white level, etc.

    And last but not least

    F-Droid, which is like a play store for free and open source software (FOSS). Lots of things there.

        I’ll check it out. Hacker’s Keyboard is great, but seems a bit cluttered at times, and doesn’t have a light mode so it tends to aggravate my astigmatisms.

          Hacker’s Keyboard hasn’t had a real release in about 5 years, so it can be slightly buggy.

          Unexpected Keyboard is pretty good. It’s got the complete keyboard layout available including stuff like Control and Function keys, so I think it’s an acceptable replacement. It uses swipes to type other keys, which I’m not sure if I prefer, but it works well enough. I set the swipe distance higher because I would accidentally swipe from time to time.

            Got it downloaded, will test. The swipes feature might just be perfect, since I don’t like the delayed popup on HK (but it must have some delay, or else mistakes happen).

            Edit: after some testing, this keyboard seems really nice. A few things are in odd places, but nothing too extreme.

      VLC can also be used for internet radio by the way. I just save the radios I like as “streams”

        What? That’s… that would have saved me the trouble of discovering turd after turd at the play store. I am glad I found RadioDroid but sheesh, the fact that I already had the answer is too funny.

            Thanks. This might be helpful if there’s something RadioDroid can’t find,or for someone who only wants to use VLC. Where do you find your .pls links, btw?

              Usually directly from the radio channel’s website. Usually they’ll have it under listening options

                Oh, okay. I was looking at sites that list numerous channels and couldn’t find any proper .pls links.
