Sign the Petition Stop Google from limiting APK file usage

https://c.org/nVqy784zSR and https://keepandroidopen.org/

The main reason I use #Android is that it still allows me to use independent applications and app stores like #Fdroid or distros like #LineageOS. Stop Google's attempts totally comtrol your phone!

#GoogleFree

Seit heute... #googlefree

I finally have my own cloud stack ready for wider testing. I now have:

- Nextcloud
- Nextcloud talk with HPB (for better multi-user calls)
- Nextcloud office with separate Collabora CODE server (better performance)
- Mastodon instance
- Google-free email
- Google-free calendar (Nextcloud)
- […]

Duolingo no longer works on LineageOS/eOS googlefree smartphones with the last update.

I still don't know why, but I do have 3 eOS smartphones at hand and one older google-android Samsung phone.

The login works only on the default google android device.
If your currently logged in, don't log […]

Arty my labrador lays snuggled up asleep, warm and cosy.

Finally managed to install eOS onto a galaxy s6 tablet, It now feels like my device instead of Google or Samsung the camera isn't great but I now feel as relaxed as Arty.

Ich habe gerade entdeckt, dass es für mein altes Samsung S8 (von 2017, Codename dreamlte) wieder aktuelle /e/OS Builds gibt. Sogar schon eOS 3.1.1 inkl. neueren Features wie Parental Control.

So lässt sich das alte Handy noch gut als Einstiegsgerät für die weiterführende Schule nutzen […]

EU kills Android bootloader unlock starting August 1 - XiaomiTime Just days ahead of the new rules, Samsung quietly removed the bootloader unlock feature in its OneUI 8 update. Clearly, they’re getting ahead of compliance.

#Android #Bootloader Entsperrung seit dem 1. August 2025 in der EU passé

Das soll wohl googlefreien Androids den gar aus machen.

#GoogleFree is an option I would love to see Samsung offer.

I've had #Samsung mobile phones since the S1. Was gonna buy a #SamsungGalaxyS25Ultra
Because of Google, I'm now gonna go shopping for a #GoogleFree phone‼️

Any suggestions ❓️
Good Camera is essential

Volla Phone 22 with Ubuntu Touch

I have had my Volla Phone for exactly one year now. I bought it with Ubuntu Touch, then switched to Volla OS, a Google-free Android, and now back to Ubuntu Touch. I am very happy with it.

Magic Earth - Free Navigation & Maps App for Android and iPhone Magic Earth is a free maps and navigation app based on OpenStreetMap data. Enjoy 3D maps, Satellite maps, Turn-by-turn navigation, HD Traffic, Offline maps

Yes, there are ways to navigate the planet without Google. If your phone runs stock Android you dun goofed already, for everyone else I suggest www.magicearth.com or #OSM #OSMand.
#googlefree

Hmm, nope. Because I do not feel like telling Google where I am or where my friends live. So no Google maps (Waze is also Google) here.
I suggest www.magicearth.com or #OSM #OSMand instead. #googlefree

Other than that… sometimes, yes.

@sesivany yes, 130 €/year is not that horrible, and I want to support them, because I believe that such independent commercial providers are the only true hope for independent email (normals will never admin their own server).

Seems that @nextcloud native app on Android is not particularly useful when it comes to frictionless bidirectional folders/files syncing? 🧐 I'm using (proprietary) #FolderSync on Android for syncing with Nextcloud for now. Let me know if you have better options. #hobbyprojects #googlefree

With @e_mydata's distro, #TWRP, @topjohnwu's #Magisk and rovo89's #XposedFramework, I have a foundation for a #Googlefree #Android. Instead of living in an hotel room, it is possible to be fully in control of your device, but lotsa hoops to jump through - not for the masses yet.
