texting: qksms. a number of features that aren't in the default and i find essential.

twitter: fritter. far better than nitter in design, usability and reliability.

banana is right about aves for gallery, but beware that it has no editing features. i use some proprietary horseshit with no network access for that until i find an open source option that feels competent.

cascaderainfall Does spotube fetch its music from spotify or from youtube? I ask cause there is a difference in quality. Does it need a spotify account to get from spotify? (if it gets from spotify)

I also use Google Camera, Aegis, Bitwarden and Newpipe
SMS : Google Messages ( https://privsec.dev/posts/android/android-tips#google-messages ) if you have Play Services. If no Play Services, stay with stock SMS app.
Mail : k9 connected to posteo
Store : Play Store because privsec.dev recommends : “My recommendation is to stick with the Google Play Store unless your threat model calls for not logging into Google Services at all.“
VPN : IVPN (I use their DNS)
Maps : I STRONGLY recommend you to go away from Maps.me ( 10 trackers and 32 permissions asked according to Exodus...). Go for Organic Maps, it looks VERY similar. Alternatively, use Osmand, HereWe go, Magic Earth.

Gallery: I STRONGLY recommend using Aves Gallery because it is REALLY amazing.
Calendar : give a try to Etar ;) or pay for Simple Calendar

    ElLoco Is there a Spotify alternative where I can login and reproduce my Spotify playlists?

    Old thread but just in case you haven’t found anything yet, or for others looking - Spotube should be definitely on the radar.

    Wow, looks like you've got a solid setup with GrapheneOS! Your app choices seem well thought out. For weather, I've heard good things about "Today Weather" or "Weather Underground" – might be worth checking out. And for calendar, Proton Calendar sounds like a great choice, especially if you're already using ProtonMail.

    I strongly recommend breezy weather for a weather app
