The ultimate F-Droid setup (300+ Apps)

WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily.

I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. 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 !

What is PilferShush Jammer?

Features a passive jammer technique that engages the microphone thereby blocking other apps from using it. But does NOT listen to or record any of the audio from the microphone. It uses 0% CPU and no noticeable battery use. However is not intended to be left on permanently due to the variety of triggers that can cause audio_focus_state changes (VOIP etc).

Also features an active jammer that emits tones constrained to the NUHF range of 18 kHz to 24 kHz range. User determined carrier frequency and drift limits with rate for random tone emissions depending on the device capabilities. For instance 20000 Hz carrier, drift limit 1000 Hz and rate slow - will output random frequency between 19 kHz and 21 kHz approximately every second.

Audible artifacts are present during the NUHF tones but this may be changed in a future release. Experimental white noise output may not be very effective at blocking and is a somewhat annoying sound. The device speaker output may not have enough amplitude to block unwanted NUHF signals - testing will determine.

• Manual start • Notification post when running • Auto stop and restart when telephony interrupts • Currently relies on audio_focus_state changes for auto-switching • Active jammer
