Looking for some Android apps

Having used iOS my entire life, the switch to GrapheneOS will be a big change. I have learned over the past year about Android, GrapheneOS, and apps to use. I managed to find most of the apps I was looking for, but there are some I struggled with. I had trouble finding privacy respecting, open source apps for the following...

Iirc that's the only Android Torrent client that could bound to specific network connection (just like qBittorrent on desktop systems)

jinwk00 OP ,

Aw shucks, the porter moved on from Lineage to develop more on e/os

Any alternative custom ROMs that are generally considered complete Google-free other than those 2?

jinwk00 OP ,

Should I be concerned if I am not going to be installing Google Apps (or gapps) or microG?

jinwk00 OP ,

Not really dislike, but was wondering if there were any better choices

jinwk00 OP ,

Thanks, looks promising but unfortunately unavailable

jinwk00 OP ,

At least Magic Earth has good policy though, no?

jinwk00 OP ,

Do you think its worth waiting until Pixel "9" becomes available? I'm switching out on July since that's when my installment is over + getting out of this hell hole S21FE

jinwk00 OP ,

Ye T-Mobile is offering Pixel 8 Pro for free if I do 24 month installment but that isn't worth sacrificing for

That's why I was looking at Nothing Phone 2 which is on sale, unlocked too, for double the storage as well (I already used up 90% of my 128GB) at $550

Heard community is growing but I was uncertain

jinwk00 OP ,

Lastly do you think 8 Pro refurbs are fine for $700? Main concern is lack of RAM from S21FE which apps closed itself very frequently as soon as I switch from one to the other

jinwk00 OP ,

I used Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro/K20 Pro before, I can get used to recovery and flashing stuff

jinwk00 OP ,

Not really anti-Pixel, just that pricing could be better

But I found some used ones in sale, thanks though

jinwk00 ,

uBlock Origin on Mull browser (if not Firefox), Mullvad DNS or NextDNS for "Private DNS" (its DNS-over-HTTPS iirc) if you are not rooted

jinwk00 ,

Only thing I know is that you could enable the "limit sharing of data" but that's about it

jinwk00 ,

They still somehow track your history despite that turned off

Notably with recommendations

Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software (www.pcgamer.com)

Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times.....

jinwk00 ,

Iirc Apex Legends and Denuvo are never correlated (unless they added Denuvo AC at some point)

jinwk00 ,

I didn't downvote that

jinwk00 ,

Isn't Librewolf fork of Firefox with hardened features pre-enabled?
