I guess it would be nice if it compared usage over time too. Then one would know if there is something not normal.


As a previous Rooted Lineage OS + MicroG user I have to warn you to be careful on how you update your phone( i.e do not just go into settings amd click update)




Ok, and what is you point? The app I use is under 10MB and the data under 1MB. I do not know how can a log of calls and contact list be over 500MB. Another app I tested 18MB and 200KB of data. So you either have a contact list over 100 000 contacts or google contacts is abnormally huge. In the end is still 5-10x the size of alternative contact/dialer apps.


Hey man, I did not mean to say that all 700MB were basically telemetry. I was only trying to say that the services purpose is data collection, implying that the app itself (GUI) and the integration of those services are responsible of the size of the app.


Its obviously not all just telemetry, it was an exageration, all they care about is your data and every feature they add is aligned for that goal whilst making the UI as “pretty” as possible. So I did not mention that because it felt unnecesary.


Its safe to delete my man, its just 700 of your nudes.

Jokes aside its just a phone app that integrates with google services which is convenient but you know… using google is allowing google in your kitchen. So its basically “telemetry”.

You can use whatever app you like, preferably FOSS is the last thing I mentioned is what you are concerned about.


What the hell are those requirements?, if they want to protect children they should check those brain rot “Love Stories” apps and some other more insidious apps flying around.


What will not allow custom icons? All of them support custom icons. What do you mean?


Add Izzy’s on Droid Repo to Fdroid. It is there. Or download it directly from Github, the latest release(v14) are the Beta 1, Beta 2 and the Nightly Version.


I have tried Kvaesito, Niagara, Nova, Kiss and Lawnchair(and forks), personally I prefer Lawnchair because it it the most standard regarding workflow and has all if not most features one would want in a launcher. Plus the fact it is fully FOSS and supports Arcticons. If you have a small number of apps you typically launch then Kiss or Niagara(Paid Pro version recommended) would work nicely.


Simp Music but for YouTube Music… and lemme slide this in here zotify(not a client). Hope this helps anyway.


It is from the developer(s) that made Libretube.




Ty, the pack ia called Arcticons if you want to test it.


This was me when Invidious and Piped were being attacked by Youtube and Newpipe had a hiatus.

Tubular is a Newpipe fork with Sponsor Block integrated for anyone interested.
