Android OS

• GrapheneOS
• CalyxOS
• LineageOS with Microg (currently using)

• FlorisBoard
• Simple Keyboard

Work User Creator/Admin

• Shelter ♥️ is by far the best Work User Admin app compared to the other options.
• Insular

Tracker detector-blocker / APK Scanner

• App Manager ♥️🌱 is a must for every phone in any Android system.Root makes this app do much more like it can detect more trackers than the Exodus/Tracker Control apps which are the best tracker detectors in F-Droid. All has in built Download Manager , APK Scanner , Permissions disabler and much more.

Camera

• GCam ❗❓ is a superior camera to the other FOSS options because of its better image processing and although trackers are found (google analytics) , if you block the trackers and block internet access through the settings its is completely safe to use.
