Do you have a release channel on F-Droid?
Discussion
If you really want freedom, use Obtainium. F-droid's catalog is also controlled by a central entity.
Didn't know about Obtainium 👀
It's nice and easier to handle than rss + direct apk download which I prefer tho
I think I really have to learn how to setup a degoogled phone.
Any recommendations or linkes how to do it right. I'm not that technical but I think I've to change that now!
Fairly easy for non-technical folk. There are a number of helpful tutorials out there too. Here is one:

*one caveat is that GrapheneOS currently only works on Pixels. I have not experimented with other degoogled options.
Thx a lot fren 🫵💜🫂🤙!
I use a Google Pixel 👍!
So I'm good to go regarding to that.
Is it possible to use GrapheneOS with Obtainium? nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z recommended Obtainium 👍.
I hope it will work with my phone.
Sill using the 3a 😊.
Unfortunately it looks like the 3a is no longer supported. :-/

But to answer your question, you can use Obtainium with GrapheneOS. The Aurora store is another option too, but probably also centralized like F-Droid.
Personally, I implement redundancy whenever possible, so having all three is prudent as long as you know the pros and cons of each.
"One is none, two is one, three is a guarantee"
Damn ... 3a not supported anymore 😔😭!
Thx a lot for your good recommendations!
Really appreciate it 🙏!

Porque recomenda grapheneos, em vez de lineageos o que tem de diferente?
Did you perhaps mean LineageOS?
I wasn't suggesting Graphene is superior to all other options. It is just the only degoogled OS I have personal experience with. I'm sure there are other great options out there.
nostr:npub1n0aq6vafymeezu8rgyuluw2nsvwwf0e0qdpc9d2uvcfgclsf4d8s3qqu2z would likely appreciate other recommendations too. Always good to have multiple options to consider and research.
Ja tentei fazer degoogle, mas os apps necessitam de muitas coisas do google, google é boa de te rastrear, entao perdera seu GPS, não podera comprar coisas em jogos, os jogos não vão carregar e apps de bancos vao morrer.
Tambem coisas não vão sincronizar, esqueça backups automaticos, serao manual.
Ou seja tera que carregar dois celulares um com google e outro sem, inviavel.
Mas aos poucos, eu vou trocando os apps para melhores alternativas.
Organics mão funciona bem como mapa para dirigir, como backup automático recomendo fazer um servidor pessoal com nextcloud usando a distro yunohost, que pode ter fácil teu próprio email e nuvem em geral, pode rodar tudo num rpi3 com SSD e backup manual uma vez por semana ou mensal.
Aplicativos que eu preciso e não funcionam em um celular degoogle (ja tentei)
Uber e 99pop 💀💀💀
Compra em jogos 💀💀
Notificações gms 💀💀💀
Patches de seguranças e atualizações 💀💀💀
Gps eu tinha conseguido utilizando unifieldNLP firefox, mas muito trabalho.
Alguns apps uteis e centralizados sempre crasham, por falta de google.
Rom customizadas sempre tem problemas, a lineage os para meu celular trava em jogos e a arrow os drena muita bateria.
Prefiro usar um OS normal (a stock sempre tera vantagens), em que voce pode controlar a google. Agora mesmo a playstore e services estão congelados e nenhum dado está sendo enviado.
.
" usar um OS normal", o normal é subjetivo:
#grapheneos
Look into GrapheneOS, iodeOS, /e/ foundation device or here's a quick guide to degooglize any ROM (taken from xda a whilr back).
"Note: This won't be too noob-friendly, so do your research before following this. If your phone catches fire, nothing I can do!
Also I'll be referring to LineageOS for microG as LMM throughout the guide
Safetynet also currently seems to be broken
Pre-requisites before using this guide:
- A phone ready for custom ROM'ing (unlocked bootloader, custom recovery installed yada yada)
- A user willing to sacrifice 90% Google apps (microG still has it's limitations you know)
- PC with everything ready (just to make the process smooth)
- TWRP backup of your previous ROM (just in case something goes wrong)
Let's begin!
Stage 1: Check and download
1) Check if your phone has official support for LineageOS for microG
2) If it's there; congratulations! Your life has been made 50% easier.
If it isn't, well, you'll have to check if you have official/unofficial ROM support for the standard LineageOS.
If that isn't there, you'll have to go with any other deODEX'd ROM (which means your results may vary compared to the one here)
3) Download the respective ROM zips, Magisk (for root) and Aurora Store.
If you're not downloading LMM, download NanoDroid Patcher (signature spoofing), NanoDroid microG (the microG package)
[Fun fact: If you're using the latest version of Magisk (which you should), rename the APK to "install.zip" to be able to flash it in recovery]
4) Copy the downloaded media to your SD Card (Internal Storage works too)
Stage 2 Option 1: If you have LMM support
1) Boot to TWRP or your TWRP fork of choice
2) Go to Wipe; Advanced Wipe; Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and swipe # This will format your ROM + your app data
3) Go back; Install; Search for the Lineage zip.
4) Flash it.
5) Then flash Magisk and reboot.
Stage 2 Option 2: If you don't have LMM support
1) Boot to TWRP or your TWRP fork of choice
2) Go to Wipe; Advanced Wipe; Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and swipe # This will format your ROM + your app data
3) Flash LineageOS / your ROM
4) Reboot your system
5) Do the initial setup
-> Check if you have Signature Spoofing support by installing this
-> If there's no Signature Spoofing support:
-> Boot to TWRP
-> Flash NanoDroid Patcher to patch your system
-> Flash NanoDroid microG and Magisk
-> Reboot your system
-> If there is Signature Spoofing support:
-> Boot to TWRP
-> Only flash NanoDroid microG and Magisk
-> Reboot your system
Stage 3: Post-Installation
1) Open microG settings app. Press Self-Check
2) Make sure no checkboxes are unticked. If they are, tick them
3) Go back; Add an account, do Device Registration and enable Cloud Messaging.
Also configure the location backends if you need location
4) microG setup should be done!
5) Now install Aurora Store, and configure it. (should be simple enough)
6) Grab yourself a good VPN and a nice wallpaper
[-] That's it!"
Nao entendo esse proibiçao da fdroid. O app é open source.
F-droid is as centralized as Apple and Google are. Just with different rules. Use Obtainium if you really want freedom.
Hi again,
after the update from PS it seems I loaded the FDROID Version of Amethyst. Is that correct? 😅
(No translations anymore for example)
Apk of Amethyst are available on github release. You can install it from there, just like any other app.
