Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android (nice & modern UI/UX)
UI = User Interface
UX = User eXperience
Most open source apps offer out-dated or classic material design UI. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your android device !
Apps are listed in alphabetical order !

DISCLAIMERS
Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app.
While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
I again encourage you to do your own research about them and read their Privacy Policies.
I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !
Everything you need. F-droid.
Basic Apps Like Phone, SMS, Music Players, Cameras, Clocks Etc.
Great UX & privacy
Easy to use and respect privacy. My personal choice.

Comments and Reviews
The SMT apps were a great alternative to the native apps. I'm glad that the project is still maintained by the community and not a private entity.
Does everything I need a file manager to do on my phone, and doesn't talk to anything over the network. No ads, no tracking.
no registration, secure access options, file viewer, and extensive customization.
Since I went deeper into digital privacy, I was looking for an alternative to managing my files. I passed by amaze and amaze utilities, but none of them got me, because they had many bugs and were very complicated (see my review on them).
In spite of all this, the good thing that led me to have heard them, is that I realized that files by google was a lousy app because I did not erase the files that were in my Trash, and I left them there, forever (I am not kidding).
Looking for and looking for alternatives, I found fossify, which is simple, open, private (compared to google), minimalist and the most important detail (at least for me) if I erased my files that google had left on the trash. very good application.
