Android is waaay less pretty than iOS, and stuff (esp on GrapheneOS) doesn't just work out of the box. Lots of apps that look like a PowerPoint presentation created by Microsoft Office 97.

BUT...

Soooo much more customizablee. Feels like actually got a mini computer in my hands. Dangerously fun stuff.

I'm installing APKs directly from GitHub! Feels nice to break free from a single app store.

Have you tried Obtainium yet?

Yes!!! I literally just downloaded it. Only issue I'm running in to so far is that lets say i plug in the Wikipedia repo URL, it grabs the alpha, not a stable release.

Same thing with Telegram FOSS app, it grabs a beta build. Maybe that's expected, haven't dug deep enough yet. Would rather not run alpha versions though

Install the non alpha/ beta from the downloaded APK then when you add the link (after install) to Obtainium make sure "include prereleases" isn't ticked
