Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS…

    • IronFox (web browser)

    • Fossify Caller app

    • QUIK (SMS)

    • Molly (Signal)

    • Libretube (YouTube)

    • Thunder (Lemmy).

    Oops, all FOSS! :)

    The only proprietary apps that see regular use on my phone are my banking app and Spotify.

        If I were having high-stakes conversations, I might agree, but any slight delays in updates is unlikely to affect me. I’m not a high-stakes target of any sort.

    Well - Kind of.

    • Snapchat (not FOSS at all afaik)
    • Aliucord (Modded client for Discord, at least partially open source)
    • Summit (FOSS)
    • Signal (FOSS, I think)

      Molly-FOSS is the fully FOSS, hardened fork of Signal that is available on Fdroid via their repo.

      Here’s a feature comparison on their github between Signal, Molly, and Molly-FOSS. Basically, the stock signal app relies on some google services, Molly-FOSS does not.

    • Firefox ✅
    • SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
    • WhatsApp ❌
    • stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
    • OpenCamera ✅

    3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.

    I don’t have a fixed bottom row.

    I’ve got maximum two pages. Folder Cover mode is much more efficient. (I hope for an immersive (full screen) mode some day)

    90% foss of all apps.

    What’s not foss? banking, gov broadcasters, arte, ard, zdf, german train app, magic earth, ebay, dict.cc, car sharing,

    Yep, all except for two: Crumpet and our Bank app. We can be pretty sure of this as we run CalyxOS and we have too many apps to list otherwise as everything on our ‘dock’ is in folders.

    • Phone app, which is com.Android.dialer that seems kind of (F)OSS at least(?)
    • Contacts app, same as phone app: com.android.contacts
    • Telegram client Forkgram which is partly OSS but contains unfree stuff upstream + relies completely on non-free service (telegram server +client)
    • Email: K9/thunderbird android full FOSS
    • Browser: Iceraven which is a fork of Firefox Android. It comes with the MPL (Mozilla public license) but I think it also contains non-free binaries or assets, so mostly FOSS I would say?

    I put all my apps on my home screen and I keep all non-FOSS apps in a single folder as a reminder to find replacements. The vast majority of my apps are FOSS at this point.

    I use CalyxOS so completely degoogled because everything passes through microG. I have the following;

    • Phone (CalyxOS)
    • Quik (texting)
    • Fennec (Firefox w security)
    • Thunderbird
    • Google Pixel Camera app, firewalled, and any services go through microG
