A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)
Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device.
Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%)
I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time).
FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software

Another Free VPN, founded by donations like the one from the Calyx foundation. RiseUp has already proven their transparency and their dedication to protecting people privacy. Don’t expect a fully featured VPN service for free however.
Eternal connection. It can't even issue a report on a failed attempt to bypass the lock.
Last updated a year ago on AUR; No RPM package; Clearly, they do not value too much secrecy since the Windows binary is a priority. Update: so badly maintained that whenever I try to use it on Linux, Android or even Windows my non-VPN connection begans to drop.
I'm getting an installation error related to OpenVPN. I installed OpenVPN separately, but that didn't help.
Works great for what I use it for.
RiseupVPN is run by political activists. As I have warned elsewhere, you do not want to use a service maintained by left-wing or right-wing activists because they have a pattern of collecting information and disseminating it. In fact, RiseupVPN has already shared user information with the FBI.

They use the exact same interface for Android as Calyx, but Calyx comes from a much more reliable/trustworthy source.
Nuance. The FBI stole their servers from them by forcing the server-hoster to let them get it.
Hi Sam! May I suggest you to not connect to the internet for even better security?
Good suggestion Chou. May I suggest you put your laptop in a pot of water to increase your productivity?
Not a service. Just a very thoughtful kind little tool to guard yourself with a VPN real quick for like, research and browsing purposes
Not intended nor made for just downloading bulk online like torrenting music illegally over and over. Don't toy with it like that. Thank you, that's all I wanted to say because I don't see people mention this part and it genuinely worries me so that they don't mention it.
