I tried using Firefox but it was so insanely slow compared to Chrome that I gave up
it also didn't show lots of websites correctly

>Voice Recorder
Audio Recorder

Is it just me or Simple Gallery has an unremovable faded black bar at the top at all times?

YouTube Vanced has the native interface and behavior, so I prefer that. Not on F-Droid but worth mentioning.

Is there something on F-Droid to listen to audiobooks?

You're not finding a FOSS alternative to Google Maps or Waze if your goal is to avoid traffic or avoid the police.

>ES File Explorer
MiXplorer from xda labs

Voice Audiobook Player

I just use OsmAnd~ for maps and navigation.

If you're living in a 3rd world country, Google Maps or Waze is unfortunately better than some random Osmand app.

What phone are you on? I put the Android 9 Pie Open Beta on my OnePlus 3T, Vanced worked for like 10 days and then it signed me out, wouldn't let me sign in again. Same behavior on 2 open beta, tried deleting cache, different versions of the app - same shit.

Would love to get this fixed.

NewPipe (unironically better than the YouTube app)

Simple Notes
>Waze
Never used it but I assume there's no direct alternative to it, however it's not any information you can't find online, OsmAnd~ is a good GPS app though
>Snapseed
Never used it, most gallery apps have basic image editing functionality though, you should still probably just upload the file to your PC and edit it though
>Spotify
Local files + oddysey music player, Spotify is botnet. Bonus: NewPipe can download MP3s from YT
>Shazam
Shazam is literally fucking pointless, you'll never hear music you haven't heard before in public
>VLC
VLC, or MPV
>ES File Explorer
Built in file explorer
>Gmail
K9 Mail or whatever your phone came with
>Photos
Camera roll
>Voice Recorder
whatever came with your phone
>Instagram
Literally botnet and for narcissists, the web version works fine though I guess
>Twitter
Twidere
>Translator
There are several on F-Droid, but I just use Google Translate online despite how botnet it is
>WhatsApp
WhatApp is obsolete and pointless, you may as well just contact normies through text or FaceBook Messenger

>Youtube
newpipe
>Firefox
Fennec
>VLC
there's VLC there
>Twitter
Twidere

don't use the rest but there's definitely something nice out there

I desperately need a keyboard replacement
swype was slow and started glitching after long use
gboard is fast and comfortable to use, but won't remember my custom words no matter what I do

I also have a tiny 5" screen so I'd like to be able to use swiping, buttons are too tiny in portrait orientation

>Newpipe or Skytube
>YouTube Vanced
Can I listen to YouTube videos with those apps running in the background like I do with Spotify?

yes

NewPipe yes
other i dont know

pity, pajeet

If you live in an area with incomplete maps then please consider downloading the StreetComplete app, it's a casual way to contribute to OpenStreetMap.

These things can be added as overlays depending on where you live.

You know fucking dick fatso.

With NewPipe yes, not only that though you can download the audio file from YouTube and play it with whatever media player you want

I'm just gonna talk about one app since the others have pretty good recommendations already, except for what I'm going to talk about.

>YouTube
No, NewPipe is not a replacement YouTube app. It's actually inferior to the official one or YouTube Vanced. Try writing a comment or participating in a live stream chat.

>the official one
>YouTube Vanced

both closed source trash unfortunately

>writing a comment
>participating in a live stream chat

you're welcome to contribute these features if you really need them, but it's unlikely someone else will work on them in the short term because they conflict with the privacy focus of newpipe

Install VLC, use Newpipe to open videos in VLC. Or just download the sound file.

>using YouTube as social media
Cancer. Use your browser on desktop for this garbage.
>inferior to official/vanced
Those two have built in tracking so they're garbage and unusable tier. They're also 3-4x larger in file size.
