I don’t like the default GrapheneOS apps, looking to switch.
They are great. They just make the job done. But I don’t use all their apps.
I use the Notes, Calendar, and Gallery app quite often, but I found that the dialer is not particularly great, and I use the AOSP apps for text messages and contacts.
Trustworthy, yes. Recommended – it depends. I use contacts and gallery regularly with no problems. Like @[email protected] I found that the phone app was not great.
Any recommendations for the contacts app?
Any recs for a phone app? It’s not great and I miss the swipe to call (coming from Samsung. Still useful anyway)
Sorry, I don’t really use my phone much to call people. The stock app that comes with LineageOS is what I use when I do call.
The Fossify phone app would refuse to dismiss VM notifications, which is why I didn’t like it.
Awwww no problem! Thank you.
The stock Graphene OS isn’t bad but I wanted something better
The stock Graphene app has call recording. Very few other options can do that.
No idea in my could try but in some isn’t it illegal to record without warning/consent? Or am I missing something?
Depends on your jurisdiction. For some US states, only one of the recorded parties has to consent. In my jurisdiction, both parties have to consent.
Can definitely be useful for longer/complicated calls if you can’t take notes in the moment. I’m not suggesting you use it to break any laws, of course.
I’m in EU and I have to check that.
Yeah the only use case is to just record for notes if you can’t/don’t want to take them at the moment
I used their keyboard for a bit but switched because I need autocorrect.
Honestly it really depends, I found their phone app somewhat buggy. The contacts are great. Messages I had an issue where the archive didn’t even work and just seemed to delete stuff. Which would have been really annoying if I actually needed anything deleted. Gallery is okay, nothing wrong with it. The file manager is as good as your operating system lets it be (IYKYK), but you’re already on Lineage so you’re fine.

Right dialer from goodwy.
No thanks. No foss = no install
I thought it was open source. It has a github repository, but I admit I’m not a tech guy…
Not on fdroid
Can’t even change the theme unless I buy the “premium” :/
If you go to tip jar option, you just need to slide the Unlock toggle, even if you not contribute 🙂 If I like an app a try to contribute to it’s development. I though that it was open source, but now I’m in doubt…
I’m not sure of replacements for the other apps, but Aves Libre is the best gallery app I’ve ever used and it’s open source
Cool. I use Chrono for clock, just try it, it’s the best.
I don’t recall Fossify Clock being worth it. Calendar is fine although I would be wary of using certain notification settings (which are a bit annoying since they can only be changed by category, and need to fire once per category before being edited), since I ended up unable to turn mine off without restarting my phone. 😅 I was really messing around with those settings though. I just use it to keep track of historical birthdays and event anniversaries now since Orgzly Revived is my preferred time thing. The caldav syncing is a no brainer, though. It would be fine with Thunderbird/Betterbird on desktop.
Voice Recorder is good, I’ve been using it a lot actually. Paint seemed superfluous. Calculator is awful. The Launcher exists. Notes is okay, they should add encrypted sync and I might use it someday. Joplin and Markor are better. Camera is okay + exists. Keyboard gave me a horrible bug where it was unable to work on my phone unlock screen, three times. I had to wait for my phone battery to run out when that happened, because of its charmingly unremovable battery. Have not used music player since I have VLC.
