There are a lot of really good free software Android apps, like, almost enough to have a usable phone with only free software.

I use
- Firefox as my browser
- Signal for messaging
- VLC to play media
- OSM for maps
- Twidere for twitter.

I still need (feel free to suggest one!)
- a camera with nice filters (I use B612)
- a fast and good UX wrapper around the nextbus API (I use the Transit app)
- email, calendar, etc... but my accounts are with google, so, meh

@morganastra K-9 Mail for email. Supports openpgp, if you're into crypto

@infomorph I'm into crypto but PGP is terrible and doesn't result in encrypted emails in practice haha. Yeah I should have mentioned k9, it's a decent app, I find the UI a little clunky to use and ugly though

@morganastra I wholeheartedly agree that pgp is just ... ugh.

@infomorph right now my favorite messaging app and protocol is Signal - it's passed a crypto audit, it's really easy to use right and hard to use wrong, and the UI is really pretty. I wish the desktop app supported keyboard shortcuts though, having to use a mouse for it is pretty bleh

@morganastra Agree, Signal is pretty great, and I've been impressed by how many of my non-crypto-nerd friends have hooked up with it lately, that says good things about its usability.

@infomorph @morganastra

signal has many pros, but it's not federative and it uses google play services.

I have my favorite alternative (XMPP + OMEMO), but it doesn't use the mobile phone number that might be not user friendly

Rosa Astra @morganastra

@allilengyi @infomorph yeah that's not a solution at all. no one has an XMPP app and even if they did no one wants to configure it to use some other encryption scheme. also XMPP is basically impossible to use on mobile because it has to keep the connection open, rapidly draining battery :/

@morganastra @infomorph

i use it on android (conversations) and chatSecure is available for iOs, so I use it on both laptop and phone, and messages go to all clients that are online
