Its not a secret that grpahene OS amd other foss, privacy oriented roms dont support many devices letting a lot of people locked inside proprietary roms. Thats my case so i want to replace as much as I can the proprietary software on my samsung phone if possible for Graphene OS alternatives but i can't find their apps on F-droid unfortunately, so i wanted to ask if theres a repository for their apps, itwould be a shame if not, because i think it could help people to have more FOSS apps on their phones.

Check DivestOS
GrapheneOS has its own store for its applications: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Apps/releases

The grapheneOS SMS app

graphene ships stock aosp apps

[-] 3yiyo3@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Thats kind of what i want too

You would have to get the oldest release supporting that android version. Only the initial release appears to support that. You can check here: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Apps/releases?page=2

But, I would recommend other apps like QKSMS.

[-] Iread@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes QKSMS is very good but it looks like the developers abandon it Its not updated since January 2023

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

That's hardly what I would call abandoned. Abandoned would mean going years without any update.

[-] Iread@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I love QKSMS but it have some bugs and craches sometimes I hope all of that get fixed in near future

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, sure, I hope so. But, qksms doesn't appear to be a priority for the developer (which is understandable considering many do not choose to support the dev with donations, etc)
