I removed google account from my phone, made a factory reset, and now I look for a few more privacy-friendly apps alternatives, preferably available in f-droid, tell me what you use.

1. Maps (I often use bookmarks, routes with time estimates and transport data)
2. Calendar
3. Keyboard
4. Radio/Music
5. Audio book player
6. Photo backup/syncronization tool/service

@abcdw
What alternative Android distro/ROM did you switch to? I use #LineageOS.

1. Magic Earth (via Aurora store)
2. Simple Calendar, F-droid
3. AnySoftKeyboard, F-droid
4. Music player from F-droid, music library on device.
5. -
6. Syncthing, F-droid

@Primetime I still use vanilla android, but recently made a factory reset and install apps only from F-droid, except bank app, taxi and my international sim app. Making habbits of using OSM, florisboard and friends. I think it's a good enough step towards future complete migration.

@abcdw @Primetime vanilla can be anything nowadays. If you still have your device manufacturer's operating system, you can remove Google apps with adb. Bootloader can stay locked.
