Re: NekoX:

"What is the difference between the Full and Mini version?
The full version comes with built-in proxy support for v2ray, shadowsocks, shadowsocksr, and trojan, which is usually provided to advanced users to help friends who have no computer knowledge in mainland China to bypass censorship. Don't complain about imperfect functions or ask to add other rare proxy types, you can use their clients directly.

What if I don't need a proxy?
Then it is recommended to use the Mini version.

What is the noGcm version?
Google Cloud Messaging, also known as gcm / fcm, message push service by google used by original Telegram android app, it requires your device to have Google Service Framework (non-free) installed."

Okay, so I don't have friends in china, let alone ones with little to no computer knowledge, so I don't need the full version, and since I'm hoping to avoid google, I don't think I need GCM... Especially since I'm not really using Telegram for time-sensitive stuff, so i don't think I even really need to worry about notifs in the first place, really.

Have I got that right?

    ok, so to get telegram, I need a phone number, and to get a phone number, I need silent link, and to get silent link, i need a crypto wallet.

    I know... pretty much nothing about crypto anything... except that it makes lots of CO2? Maybe?

    Anyone have a respectable wallet that doesn't require me to be Thomas A. Anderson to know what I'm doing?

    • mmmm replied to this.

      OK cool

      Anyone know how to get bitwarden working with autofill and heliboard?

      Yeah I prefer to keep my 2fa offline, like my old app and Aegis do.

      This might seem frivolous but is there a recommended way to replicate the Motorola shake flashlight thing? Everywhere I've looked so far, people either complain the options are either not FOSS, drain battery, or just kinda don't work all that well.

      Looking around, shake for flashlight looks like a "no"... Either they drain battery, require root, or just kinda don't work well.

      I ran across something really weird when setting up my silent.link: dialing *187# caused the GOS launcher to crash. I got logs about it and everything, should I make a new post about this?

        You can but my guess is that it's probably an issue with the app that GrapheneOS can't fix.

            Okay I've got silent.link, next is jmp.chat and cheogram

            Conversations.im is free if obtained from codeberg via obtainium, right? I see its paid on the play store but on fdroid all they have is a donation link, so I'm a little confused, but that's the server I've heard of so far that is reliable, so...

              OK lemme see if I can find those logs again, it happened on my empty owner profile, just a sec

                New question:

                Cheogram has their own special github lookalike thing and I can't get Obtanium to find a "suitable release." I have heard lots of bad things about F-droid, and a lot of those problems extend to 3rd party f-droid clients, and I would really rather not download the google play store, sandboxed or not. Accrescent is in early alpha, and GOS's Apps repository only has GOS's apps and a few google apps to help set up sandboxed google stuff...

                Can anyone help me figure out Cheogram’s git and make it work with obtanium? Or maybe help me verify that Cheogram isn't set up for an ancient SDK and use Obtanium to pick the right apk from f-droid?

                  Also, proton's github says I need either the android studio bundle or the standalone android tools... But those look like they're for emulating android on a desktop... Right? As in in don't actually need them?

                  Also also, is anyone familiar with the Sleep Cycle app? It uses the microphone or accelerometer to tell if you're moving around in bed and uses that to figure out when, within a 30 minute period, to start gently waking you up from a shallow sleep, to avoid jolting you awake in the middle of a REM cycle.

                  Is there a FOSS and privacy-respecting alternative to this, or am I just going to have to get it from Aurora and install it without network permissions?

                  GlytchMeister Conversations.im, ... but that's the server I've heard of so far that is reliable, so...

                  You can also configure any other server in the app. I think using Daniel's costs some money. The server is in Germany.

                    OK so I think I've figured something important out - .tar.gz files are the source code. I don't think cheogram's git even has an apk, I'd have to... I think the term is "compile" it?

                    I wonder if there's a way to do that on the phone itself.

                        Also if you want to avoid the Play Store APK, then add

                        playstore

                        in the box labelled Filter APKs by Regular Expression and make sure to toggle on the Invert regular expression option just underneath the Filter APKs box.
