Preparing a megathread about android FOSS apps - Part three (Manager files, Recorder, Gallery and Video editor)
Little context
::: spoiler spoiler Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?
We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.
I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I’m going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.
Your opinions about it are CRUCIAL and FUNDAMENTAL, because your opinions is the main-base to build the megathread.
:::
Please, still consider share your ideas and thoughts about apps on previous threads.
If you want to talk about Contacts, SMS and Dialer apps, is here.
If you want to talk about Calculator, Camera and Calendar apps, is here.
Your opinions are very important and you can continue share your ideas about these apps.
This thread is ONLY to talk about Manager Files, Recorders, Gallerys and video editors. I add video editor because some gallerys don't have a editor incorporated.
EDIT:
In one of the comments I posted on this thread,, Exodus and Libchecker gave me trackers about Material Files app . I download the app from F-Droid or Github, but @Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works alert me this app, after all, doesnt have trackers from F-Droid. Dont know why this happened to me, and dont know if it was a bug or something related, taking into account that apps gave me trackers.
I appreciate his comment and I want to say sorry to everyone. If someone can talk more about it and share experiences with Material Files, I appreciate a lot.
You can share the app names you use on Lineage. Then, I will do a search about it and then we see if they belong to this or not
Found the contacts app repo, also there is the main LineageOS repo if you want to delve deeper into it.
Also found a relevant thread in LineageOS subreddit which claims that all of the apps are open source belonging to the AOSP or Android Open Source Project, and based on the contacts app it seems to be under the apache license (so it is Foss)
thanks. but unfortunately, I don't see any way for anyone to be able to download the apps you mention, without lineage. Taking this factor , it will be impossible to add them to the final thread :/
Ok, no worries 👌.
Add the fossify ones it should be easier for the general user.
