F-Droid is the way

I agree with you on all your points. I just wanted to add that there’s openWRT, a linux distro for routers and embedded systems (never used it before and the router I use is not mine), maybe that can solve the router part, I may be wrong though.

I don’t know about other countries but here in germany I just type the street and the number of the house and it takes me to it. (as in Street 123, City)

Signal would be better for a mainstream secure communication as Telegram has its flaws, and E2EE is not enabled by default. It’s also not available in channels.

Thanks for pointing that out !

Turns out the releases were just not shown in openhub

I’m sorry but those are all for desktop if I’m not mistaking. There is Winlator but OP has the apk.

you mean comaps? Search is just a bit slow but not a big deal at all. I’d rather that than having Google spy on my ass everywhere I go.

Not to mention drivers… many driver blobs are proprietary and if you can find an open source one, there is a chance it works partially or not at all. I have a spare phone and I’ve been hesitating between flashing either PostmarketOS (all FOSS drivers but without the android ecosystem) or LineageOS, or maybe both if I can achieve that.

That is the way! Excited to flash my phone to LineageOS. Thanks for sharing the apps !
