How "open-source" is your phone in %? (lemmy.world)

What I mean is how much do you use open-source software on these privacy disrespecting phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, etc).

For example I use these apps on my Redmi 13C: -Floris board as keyboard -Breezy as weather app -VLC, Vanilla and Kodi as media players -Fossify as voice recorder -SimpMusic instead of Spotify -Nekogram (Telegram client) -Organic maps instead of Google Maps -Sealnote notes -Persian calendar as calendar -FDroid as store -Jerboa and Dawn (Reddit client)

etc.

All of this is about 10% since I have 100+ apps.

Did you try KISS launcher? If yes, what did you like more about Kvaesitso that you use it instead?

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 3 points 8 months ago

I'm a huge fan of the KISS launcher, everything else feels bloated and annoying to me now.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Highly recommend KISS. They are both equally great launchers.

I used KISS prior to this one. It is an excellent paged launcher.

My KISS install had an issue of requesting a permission everytime I unlocked the phone. I could not remove the notification or mute it. So I switched out.

Either of them covered all of the features I am looking for.
