De-everything enough?

I can change the DNS
Yeah, I'd probably let go of the app and just change the settings, saves space.
Furthermore, I saw you have OpenVPN for Android. I've never heard of that app tbh, so it makes me wary. If you need a free, open-source, and audited VPN from the play store, then I'd stick with Proton. If you can pay money, then Mullvad.

(I reposted this bc some applications were missing.) I had to install some apps because of school. Btw, can you say improvements that I can make? I can't install anything that isn't from playstore.
Edit: Duolingo is now just a PWAwrote last edited by [email protected]Try Anki instead of Duolingo. You'll learn fucking nothing from it.
Also move all the proprietary software into a work profile with Shelter (available on F-Droid) just like I did.

Well, whenever you get the chance to use developer options, you can try Permission ManagerX instead. Does the same think Shizuku does but isn't outdated and can be downloaded from the Google Play, Fdroid, and the repository (and Amazon app store??? If that's still alive???).
Amazon app store actually was just killed for non-Amazon devices a couple months ago.

co maps over organic maps
Co maps has fewer features though?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I use Lingodeer instead of Duolingo, in combination with Anki.
These kinds of apps are useful as a starting point but they're not going to get you fluent and they'll only barely get you to beginner level. Plus Anki is kinda complicated especially if there isn't a suitable shared deck.

Isn't SMS unencrypted?
Yes it is. But WhatsApp encryption is a joke. Whenever someone is doing a backup with WhatsApp inbuilt backupplan all messages are stored unencrypted in the google cloud by default (WhatsApp and Google have everything in clear text). You can make encrypted backups but they give you a very long key with a warning so nobody does that! When you chat with someone on WhatsApp you can't see that.
I don't use SMS for sensitive stuff but thinking WhatsApp is secure and E2E is a joke. -

Yeah but then im going to to be the only one who uses it lol

Indeed, but it preserves the ethos of being open, while the other does not.

A great step that will solve most of the junk problems that I see, is to move to a custom rom.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Works via adb. What was it's name, Universal Android Debloater? (set to disable instead of remove first). Btw, you can't remove the play store itself, causes bootloops. Just keep it frozen. And only disable what you're really sure about.
And Organic Maps is a good replacement imo, or Osmand for more complex needs.
