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?
GlytchMeister cake wallet
Is great for a little starting dabble in crypto
OK cool
Anyone know how to get bitwarden working with autofill and heliboard?
...okay that's weird, it worked when I signed into github, but not when I signed in here...
Well, anyway, I also need a 2FA... I was using https://github.com/mattrubin/Authenticator, but... This has apparently not been updated in forever.

Edit: You can also use Bitwarden or Ente if you want cloud sync. Although I don't particularly recommend using Bitwarden's 2FA app if you also use the password manager, unless you have a separate account for each.
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.
GlytchMeister I don't think cheogram's git even has an apk
Yes it does, see the latest release https://git.singpolyma.net/cheogram-android/refs/2.15.3-1
com.cheogram.android.playstore_4205000.apk

com.cheogram.android_4205000.apk
sha256:08afa2f29805bf213f84a836aebf60f87To add on to what @akc3n said, you should be able to add Cheogram to Obtainium by using:
and setting Override Source to 'Sourcehut'.
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.
Thanks!
New question: I can't figure out how to get Storage Scopes to only allow pictures while actually allowing pictures. When I select the pictures folder, my camera pictures don't show up. When I select Show Hidden Files and select the thumbnails folder, those don't show up, either. I'd rather not have to individually add images to storage scopes.
Nevermind, those are under DCIM, for some reason.

Why DCIM and Not 'Photos'?
DCIM stands for Digital Camera Images, which probably helps this folder make a little more sense. Something like Photos or Images would be much more clear and easy to spot, but there is a reason for this decision.The consistent naming of the photo storage location for digital cameras as DCIM is defined as part of the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) specifications, which has been adopted by so many camera makers that it's practically an industry standard.
