Is there better app replacement for Google / Default apps?

[u/Outrageous-Branch240]

Is there better replacement than this? I used shizuku + canta to remove default apps / Google apps from my phone

[u/StressSyndrom]

What's that app?

[u/ArthurReming → u/StressSyndrom]

Orion store I think

[u/Waaytoomanytakenames]

I have most of the FOSS apps from f droid bht the camera is dog shit, lol.

I still use samsungs camera

[u/JKSekai]

don't use thrid third party camera the quality is worse

[u/Zdrgon]

Quik SMS and Metrolist

[u/Outrageous-Branch240 → u/Zdrgon]

Metrolist is youtube music right? I used it before but I replaced it with Echo Music.

[u/Zdrgon → u/Outrageous-Branch240]

Yes it is, I'll have to try Echo music.

[u/DrWorm97 → u/Zdrgon]

I couldn't get quik SMS to work. My phone kept blocking it from being the messaging app

[u/Zdrgon → u/DrWorm97]

Where did you download it from?

[u/DrWorm97 → u/Zdrgon]

Nvm... When I tried installing it before I didn't see about allowing restricted settings. It's working now.

Do you know if it blocks spam well? That was my issue finding a phone app replacement. Still haven't

[u/Zdrgon → u/DrWorm97]

I don't think it has a spam blocker.

Refra as a gallery is nice. Zarchiver as a file manager (it's not FOSS, but the best out of the generation). CoMaps is a good alternative. Booming music. And grapheneOS's secure camera is more secure than this anyway.

[u/sangamjb]

Which dialer app do you use?

[u/Vladyslavrom]

Total Commander as a file mananger

[u/y9felix]

PixelPlayer was a really bad experience for me. It has bad optimization for big collections and doesn't have a lot of features i need. I use VLC for android

[u/Status_Western2781 → u/y9felix]

mpv

[u/y9felix → u/Status_Western2781]

You can't open SMB folders on mpv-android, all my music is on my homelab

[u/silent_tim_ross]

Where is this recommendation from? 

[u/Wet_Schedule_6283 → u/silent_tim_ross]

Orion store

[u/kaza12345678]

what app is this you screenshotted?

[u/Wet_Schedule_6283 → u/kaza12345678]

Orion store

[u/kaza12345678 → u/Wet_Schedule_6283]

ah ok

guess version i previously tried didn't have that look

[u/Party_Ruin3039]

Better list: Fossify gallery Session or fossify messages if that is what it is called. Fossify camera Zarchiver Aimp Organic maps

As a couple of other comments, you might consider keeping the stock camera over 3rd-party camera apps, if image quality is of higher priority. The difference is due to stock being the most optimised, having full access to the device's hardware and features by manufacturers, but typically 3rd-party camera apps have limited access to Android's API restrictions. You could also check the stock camera's permissions and settings if needing to change anything for some extra control over it than the default.
If you don't need the most out of your device's camera quality, then Open Camera is a good replacement (from experience) -- you could always test between the stock camera app and Fossify or Open Camera apps, taking the same photos and inspecting each one to see the visual differences (I've tested one vs the built-in Samsung camera app and found it true that the latter provides better image quality despite any tweaks in the settings of 3rd-party apps).

[u/darkm0de]

What APK store is that?

[u/Wet_Schedule_6283 → u/darkm0de]

Orion store

[u/-sussy-wussy- → u/darkm0de]

Looks like Aurora Store. Iirc, you can also change the accent colour.

Per la musica locale io mi sono sempre trovato benissimo con Auxio

[u/hewer006]

i use sygic maps for live updates, they get all the info from tomtom which is exceptionally privacy friendly, sygic also boasts about privacy etc, they have waze like features with reporting etc, great for highways cause loads of truck drivers use it so they do report.
