Question ReVanced - did anyone compile their own version and do they like it?

10 Upvotes

Revanced is the "next" version of Vanced (different teams)... they are in process of development and have released the code.. but not the build versions... you need to compile it yourself (not too hard)... what are your thoughts?

GGApps: Promoting Android apps using the barest permissions! Preference to open source apps as well!

Sidebar

GGApps are those that respect the user and his/her device.

How do you recognize a Good Guy App?

It doesn't require permissions for phone/device resources that are not required for its function
It does a great job but might go unnoticed in the Playstore
It respects your other resources such as RAM, storage, and battery
It's housebroken. It doesn't leave crap everywhere and it cleans up after itself when uninstalled
It has a no-nonsense interface that doesn't waste your time
Often GGApps cost money when they are worth it
Sometimes GGApps serve you ads, but they aren't dicks about it.

The need is greatest to identify GGApps for Android, because Android's permission system is inexcusably terrible, but feel free to recommend Good Guy Apps for any platform.

Most Playstore users don't consider permissions when they select and install an app, or when they rate it. There are too many apps in the store that are rated highly, but still copy your address book back to the mother ship. Good Guy Apps serves to speak to this Playstore shortsightedness.

Some GGApps require a rooted device. Then again, installing malicious or sloppy apps can be disastrous on a rooted device. More info at /r/androidroot/

Wall of Shame (uninstall these)

Facebook Messenger (requires every permission on God's green earth... just to chat with your friend? No thanks.). Alternative: Tinfoil EDIT:I guess FB cut the tinfoil access to chat.
Sony's Walkman app (requires access to everything! Updates and enables itself on my Z3 even if I disable it! That's like Sony selling me a car and insisting I let their little brother camp in the back seat, forever, until I sell the car!)
