What I mean is how much do you use open-source software on these privacy disrespecting phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, etc).
For example I use these apps on my Redmi 13C: -Floris board as keyboard -Breezy as weather app -VLC, Vanilla and Kodi as media players -Fossify as voice recorder -SimpMusic instead of Spotify -Nekogram (Telegram client) -Organic maps instead of Google Maps -Sealnote notes -Persian calendar as calendar -FDroid as store -Jerboa and Dawn (Reddit client)
etc.
All of this is about 10% since I have 100+ apps.
It’d be interesting to have an app to measure that!
I’m running GrapheneOS, so out of 82 apps on my phone only 10 packages aren’t open-source. These include social media, messaging, banking, and Google Play Store/services. So around 88% FOSS.
I only use proprietary software on my device if there doesn’t exist a FOSS alternative*.
*I know there are open-source options for social media/messaging but I don’t really consider having to convert my whole social circle to a new platform to be a viable alternative.
yeah I also do the same. I still use Dawn (Reddit) while also using Jerboa because the communities there are much larger, etc. so yes I totally agree
97.05% of my apps are FOSS, running on LineageOS with no google apps or play services obviously
1 app on 76 apps is not open-source. So 98.7% of my apps are open-source !
I’m guessing a lot of it seeing how tons of apps use open source components and libraries whenever possible.
I have slightly too many apps to count…

Yes, the label ‘Edge Dev’ gives it away.
My hardware 0%. My software well i got a foss os and mostly use foss apps but have some non-free apps i need cos other people are not enlightened and i still need to communicate with them. An estimate maybe 80-90% foss.
Ik u asked about non privacy respecting phones but i had to weigh in anyways. (On google pixel with graphene os and find most my apps on fdroid)
I have a Samsung S22 Ultra. I just have firefox on it… so I dunno. Like zero percent probably.
non AOSP android might as well be 2% with the amount of garbage google unloads onto it lol
I have 284 apps including system apps and excluding system services. With system services, it’s 567. I counted 186 explicitly installed. It’s hard to tell which ones are open source, as not all of those are from F-Droid.
I counted 48.So roughly 25% of what I installed.
Very few apps. I’m just trying to encrypt as much as possible, because I think the most important thing is to stay in control of my information. Hopefully a proper Linux phone will emerge at some point. I have experimented with the Pinephone and it’s promising, but there is still a lot of work to do.
%99 if not %100
like 70%
~150 total and 67 on f-droid/neo store so like half is FOSS
I’d say about 90-95%. I use open-source GrapheneOS, get most of my apps from F-Droid and only need a hand full of proprietary apps like WhatsApp or Instagram (because basically all of my friends and family use them).
nice. since I made this post I’ve degoogled much more and opensource-d
Great to hear that you made progress on your journey :)
