Currently run my Android phone completely google free using apps from #Droidify and #aurorastore (both available from #fdroid )
Droid-ify:
#Anlinux and #Termux for adhoc server work and CLI computing using Ubuntu OS
#fossifyapps for basic apps: calendar, contacts, calculator, phone, messages, gallery, file manager, music etc
#newpipe for YouTube content
#feeder for RSS feeds
#attenapod for podcasts
#vlc mediaplayer
#nextcloud and #nextcloudnotes
#NetGuard VPN
#protonmail and #tuta for email
...

Android question:

When I got a new phone, all my Google Play apps were automatically installed from a backup, and, crucially, the icons were arranged into folders in the same way.

On the other hand, I needed to manually reinstall all f-droid apps and recreate the layout of my home screen.

Is there a way to back up the organization of non-Google-Play apps on my home screen? This would make getting a new phone a lot more convenient.

Note that I am NOT asking about backing up app data: I already have backups of all app data I care about.

I have an unrooted Pixel 6a.

For today's #LibreMonday I'd like to call attention to Eidetic: an #opensource #Android #application currently available through #FDroid that is a wonderfully short, delightful memory game.
It also doubles as a cool party trick, if you give it to someone unsuspecting. The blank stares when the numbers get hidden are priceless 😇😇

Is there an alternative to Discogs app?

Je viens d'installer l'application #MagicEarth (après avoir lu le post de @sebsauvage [https://framapiaf.org/@sebsauvage/114405027652376299]). Je suis agréablement surpris par cette application ! 🌍 La fonction transport en commun est vraiment top, surtout quand on sait qu'il n'est pas facile de trouver une app sur #FDroid. 🚇

Petit point à améliorer : l'aspect vélo 🚴‍♂️, il ne prend pas encore en compte toutes les voies cyclables. Mais dans l'ensemble, c'est une belle découverte ! 👍

Kann mensch die Zonen- und Stationskarten aus der #Nextbike-App auch ohne die App einsehen? (Konkret für #Bremen)

Ich nutze zum Ausleihen die googlefreie und schön minimalistische #OpenBike-App aus #FDroid:
https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.cyberme0w.openbike/

Die Räder-Standortkarte für #BreBike ist ja netterweise in dem praktischen und mobiltauglichen interaktiven #Netzplan der #BSAG enthalten:

(wie auch #Cambio Carsharing, die doofen Scooter sind wieder rausgeflogen)

Ñoras, ñores... Buenos días.
Cada vez que tengo una notificación de actualización de aplicaciones de #fdroid y después de proceder a actualizarlas, echo un ratillo curioseando algunas apps. Siempre descubro alguna interesante, a veces alguna inclasificable.

This open source, open-ended journaling app 'Traced It' is just downright beautiful. Cool way to approach habit tracking, or just how long you worked on any particular task, or client.

For folk who use Lemmy or Kbin/alternatives: What app do you use?

I still use Jerboa on Android (via #FDroid) which feels like the most barebones but don't know much about any others.

Breakthrough in that whole "reproducible builds" subject! Rafael released v2.2.0 of Compose Destinations, and it orders files reproducibly. Yay!
Immediately fixed two apps that had not been updated on F-Droid for weeks, and I may now tackle the next one, which has other problems, too.
