What is a free and open-source alternative to Google Photos where I can still back my stuff up to some sort of cloud (e.g. Nextcloud) for free? And presumably at least the same 15 GB of storage that Google Photos offers. Also available on F-Droid?

r/fossdroid users, I have provided some more clarity to the rules as well as added some new rules to clarify existing policy as well as matching with our existing removal reasons. Please check the sidebar for the official copy.

Here is a breakdown of our current (new) rules. Anything after rule 5 is new, and some rules may have had their description changed slightly.

1. Must relate to Android - All posts must relate to the Android operating system. Posts not related to Android will be removed.
2. Mention Source License - If you don't mention a license for an application not hosted on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid, it may be removed. If we can easily find the source license on the link you provide, we may approve the post anyway. However, it is preferred that you directly link the license file.
3. Link Source First - Application source code should be linked first, before the binary (except for F-Droid).
4. No Memes
5. Polls - Polls are fine, but should be flaired correctly and must relate to the subreddit topics.

New Rules

1. Low Effort Posts - This was already a removal reason, so it has been codified. Extremely low effort posts will be removed to ensure a baseline of quality.
2. Applications must be FOSS - It seems this was already enforced. I figured it should be part of the actual rule list, to avoid confusion. As part of this rule, any link to Google Play is grounds for removal and potentially a ban.
3. Aurora Store Login Issues - Please use their issues page. We will not handle Aurora Store login issues.
4. Must be English - Any posts or comments not made in English will be removed.
5. Don't be an asshole

I need a new music MP3 player app, that can be used offline as well. I used Free Music app but I can't use anything else when I start the music because it blocks the screen so it would be a nice plus to have, no screen blocking. I'm about to go on a long journey where I can't access the internet and need of a new app. I couldn't use Muzio Player, nor Spotune.

Hi all,

I am the top mod of r/fossdroid currently. I have been on a long hiatus.

I'm looking forward to working with the only currently active mod in continuing to moderate this community and hopefully being able to make things even better!

It will take me some time to learn, and I'm looking forward to feedback from the community.

I left back when third party Reddit apps were effectively banned. I recently came back to Reddit as I have realized that every other social media (besides FOSS stuff) seems to be dogshit.

It may take me some time to be up to speed on current policies, so I will be reluctant to do any moderation tasks on my own besides obvious spam. In time, I look forward to being part of the mod team fully.

As some of you may know, I was added to the team 4 years ago, by the previous top mod. I'm not sure what happened to the previous team, and we fell out of contact a few years ago. It does not seem that u/NettoHikariDE is active at all on Reddit anymore.

TL;DR: I'm back, and looking forward to becoming part of the community again. I'm looking forward to working with u/ubertr0_n, and learning the ins and outs of the community!

It's never a good feeling to discover that one of your favorite apps has been discontinued or abandoned by the developer. I've been there myself, and I know how frustrating it can be to search for alternatives that may not offer the same features or functionality.

That's why I'm curious if you've come across any apps that were once discontinued but have since been revived or continued by someone else. I think this is a great question, as it's possible that some apps I thought were gone for good are actually still out there, being developed by someone new.

Hi,

I have been using Microsoft Launcher on Android for long time, mostly because it allows me to have the application list sorted with alphabetic separators, and a scroll bar that allows me to go directly to a specific letter.

I feel that this feature should be ultra basic and be here in every launcher, yet I couldn't find a single one having that (FOSS or non-FOSS).

What FOSS launcher have this feature ?

Thanks in advance for any answer, have a nice day.

I've been looking into f droid and there's typically pros and cons to everything and one thing I learned was if it's to good to be true then it probably is, how can apps like Apollo have free music, some with free movies, free services, ect... I mean what are they getting out of it? And what security downsides/risks are there... I mean all this FOSS stuff is cool and all but you're downloading an unknown app from a random developer and it just makes me feel a bit uneasy so I guess what I'm looking for Is assurance and to understand the pros and cons

With Smart EggTimer you can cook eggs perfectly.

The cooking time is calculated depending on

• the air pressure or the geographic altitude
• the desired consistency
• the size of the egg
• the start temperature

What's the idea for an app or something that you need, but cannot make yourself because of whatever reason? I've recently started learning Android again, and I want to create an app that people may find useful, so tell me your problems/requirements that doesn't already have a FOSS solution, or is outdated. If I believe myself to be competent enough, I'm ready to make it or collaborate on it.

Hey r/fossdroid community!

MJ PDF v2.2.0, my open-source PDF reader, is almost ready for official release, but I need your help with testing. This version focuses on improvements and stability. Here's a short summary of change log:

Short Change Log

• Added support for Arabic, Chinese, Turkish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, and Russian.
• Introduced Always in Horizontal Mode option.
• Added return button to search results, improved search result highlighting.
• Added full support for password-protected and non-local PDF.
• Added 'Reload PDF file' button setting.
• Added an experimental setting to show a 'reload PDF file' button
• Fixed issues with the back button not functioning in some cases.
• Improved UI consistency with icon and text colors, and a more streamlined Full Screen Buttons layout.
• Addressed many crash scenarios.

Note: Major updates to core libraries mark significant progress, resolving long-standing issues.

Exciting Update

While working on this version, I found a way to possibly add some of the top-requested features like Text Highlighting and Live Text Selection. It looks like I can get these done without too much hassle. However, I'm swamped right now, so I'm not sure when I'll start on these. I’ll keep you posted!

I'm just so impressed with the impulse download of whoBIRD from F-Droid. I'm not a bird girl, never really had an interest, but a random app download of "recognizing birds by their sounds" was one of the most fun 'trivial' app downloads I think I've ever made.

I have the best time now opening a window and checking what birds are making sounds around me. If I'm on a hike or a walk, and take the time to stop and listen, now I might just open the app and see what is around me. Again, if the devs are around on here, just a big thank you for something I never ever ever would have looked into. I won't ever be a passionate bird follower (is that the term?), but this app really made me happy.

Thanks! <3

Is there any app which mimics the google lens' image to image search? It would be nice if you could give some FOSS suggestions for android.

Any help is appreciated.
