I wrote a blog post about migrating to #grapheneos as my daily driver including links to all the nice #foss apps I use now. What are your favorite open source apps on Android? @flowinho Since we talked about it the other day

@_davd @flowinho Markor, Öffi, NewPipe, Thunderbird, Firefox, AntennaPod, DAVx5, Voice and VLC are probably my most used open source apps. Syncthing Fork is also super important for me but I deactivated updates for now due to weird changes in its maintenance.

BTW in the banking section you mention C24 only works with play services. According to Plexus it seems to work okay with microG, though. I heard a lot of banking apps do in the meanwhile. (I can't try it myself yet, though)

@cvap @flowinho Will check them out, thx! Yeah I saw that with microG, and while it may work, I want to stick with whats officially supported by GOS for now. I feel like I already have to play catch-up enough to pull in a Play Services reimplementation that also needs to catch up with upstream Play Services all the time. I think by now I'd rather migrate away from C24, but unfortunately I cannot get a second account at ING unfortunately :( Do you know by chance if Push works with microG?

@_davd @flowinho I read that microG offers push notifications and did not see any complaints regarding C24 and push in Plexus. But I do not know for sure. There is this comment, though:

> "Works great except for the inbuilt scanner which is used to authenticate a (nice-to-have) browser session. As a work-around, you can use any standalone scanner app and open the scanned URL with this C24 app.
> A warning may appear re an unlocked bootloader but that doesn't seem to impact operations."

@_davd @flowinho I think it is fine to use the play services sandboxed, I just wanted to point out there may be a less googled way also.
