Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS…

      Replaced FB Reader with librera this morning, and switched to open camera so now my dock is 100% FOSS!

          So far its a pretty solid replacement. Though searching network libraries could be better. As far as I can tell theres no actual search feature.

        @drew_belloc @noodlejetski I don’t have a dock either. I do have a favourites row though, and currently these are the pinned apps (arranged in no particular order):

        1. Calls by #GNOME & #Purism

        2. Chats (#Chatty) by Purism & GNOME - supports #SMS, #Matrix, #XMPP

        3. Contacts by GNOME

        4. #Firefox web browser by #Mozilla

        5. #SignalMessenger

        6. GNOME Settings

        7. #Phosh Mobile Settings

        8. Tweaks by #postmarketOS

        9. #Tuba (client for #Mastodon / #Fediverse)

        10. #Kasts by #KDE

        11. #DeltaChat ( #openstandards-based, #securityaudited, fast #e2ee chats over bloody #email!)

        12. Files / #Nautilus by GNOME

        All #FreeSoftware /Libre, #OpenSource #FOSS / #FLOSS : )

        #FreedomTech #LibreTech #Librem5 #LibertyPhone #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #LinuxPhones #gnuLinux #softwarefreedom #BreakTheDuopoly

        ![The image shows a Librem 5 Linux smartphone home screen with a dark background featuring a starry space theme. At the top, there is a status bar displaying the time as 2:39 PM, 4G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth turned off, and a battery level of 84%. Below the status bar, there is a search bar with the text “Search apps…” in gray.

        The home screen is organised into a grid of app icons. The 1st row includes a green phone icon, a green messaging icon, a blue book icon with “@” symbol, and a Firefox browser icon.

        The 2nd row features a blue Signal Messenger icon, a gear settings icon, a smartphone icon with toggle switches,

        The 3rd row features a tuba musical instrument icon, a radio tower broadcast icon, a chat bubble icon with a “d” which looks like and upside down and inverted “g” (opposite of #Google?), and a blue file drawer icon.

        The 4th row includes an audio player icon, a timing lock icon, a lion face Brave browser icon, and a calculator icon.

        The 5th row shows a calendar icon, a camera icon, a camera under construction icon, and a carburetor icon.

        The 6th row includes a clocks icon, a terminal icon, a headphones over book (audiobook) icon, and a dinosaur icon.

        The 7th row features a pie chart icon, a wrench over hard disk icon, a document with eyeglasses icon, and a green circular icon with a white swirl.

          Cool, i think i just got used to scroll for my apps, i normally know where they are so is a seamless experiance for me, but i like options like those, i just don’t put anything on my dock because i like to have a clean home screen, both on my phone and on my desktop

      Molly-FOSS is the fully FOSS, hardened fork of Signal that is available on Fdroid via their repo.

      Here’s a feature comparison on their github between Signal, Molly, and Molly-FOSS. Basically, the stock signal app relies on some google services, Molly-FOSS does not.

    Yep, all except for two: Crumpet and our Bank app. We can be pretty sure of this as we run CalyxOS and we have too many apps to list otherwise as everything on our ‘dock’ is in folders.

    I put all my apps on my home screen and I keep all non-FOSS apps in a single folder as a reminder to find replacements. The vast majority of my apps are FOSS at this point.

    • Firefox ✅
    • SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
    • WhatsApp ❌
    • stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
    • OpenCamera ✅

    3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.

    Phone, messengers/SMS, settings, browsers, and photo/video tools, in that order. Probably mostly because that’s the default location and where I’m used to them being.

    • ❌ Phone - com.samsung.android.dialer
    • ❌ Messages - com.google.android.apps.messaging (Samsung)
    • ❌ Chrome - com.android.chrome
    • ❌ Camera - com.sec.android.app.camera (Samsung)

    The thing is, I keep them there as a “last resort”, not as main use.
