Insular (the degoogled open source version of Island) has a page comparing Island, Shelter and Insular

https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/faq.html

I don't know if its updated, but you can pick the ones that fits your needs.

I picked Island because I thought I may have issues with my notifications if I had chosen Insular. (Plus, there was this bug I was talking about and thought that it would fix it. Installing Island wasnt the solution, but I had already spent a lot of time/days setting up my phone multiple times and didnt want to try it again, with the possibility of problematic notifications.)

BlastboomStrice OP , 2 days ago to Mander in kbin.social federation issue

Yeah indeed.. I too check the site from time to time. I had seen on their last posts that they were thinking of moving out of kbin.social due to the downtimes..

I will try to update you if/when they come back online.😅

BlastboomStrice , 3 days ago (edited 3 days ago) to World News in For Many Greeks, Six-Day 48-Hour Work Week Now Set to Begin July 1st

@finishingDutch @nogooduser lol, you try to find logic. I'm Greek. This government almost constantly tries (and unfortunately manages..) to push measures using some very twisted logic. The main idea behind all these is that they are gonna profit from it. Also by keeping the people busy with work it's gonna make it less likely to act against the government or even socialize with other people, thus worsening any unity among the people. And they mask it as a good measure.

It's the same people who tried to convince us that bringing private universities will be good, again using their illogical logic. (They pushed this during the winter exams so that students wouldn't rise against, but fortunately the gov's actions were met with huge resistance. Still, even after all this they passed the law..)

This political party is trying very hard to dismantle Greece and take us years back years. And it's their second term in a row... It's their 5th year in power in a row and we have at least ~3 more years.......

Now it's fire season, you can watch us as Greece will soon be burning literary and the gov will ~only try to evaccuate areas and blame it to the people instead of being proactive against wildfires (or combating them with proper means).🥲

Those "root checks" are a joke. ~Nobody raises a brow if you are an admin user with root privilages on windows, (desktop) linux or macos. But it's such a huuuge deal when you manage to actually own and use your own mobile device the way you want by breaking free from what they impose on you, ugh...

Any app that doesnt work when you have root access ~shouldn't be used at first place..

Lsposed is a magisk/ksu module that has its own modules too. Like a manager insude a manager giving you even more options.

I would like to help you with various stuff and customizations but I just don't have enough time to explain them all.😅

I'm just gonna list stuff you may find useful:

Apatch (root and magisk/kernel modules manager)

Mrepo (magisk modules manager)

Shizuku

Color blender (to tweak metarial you colors)

Droidify (fdroid alternative)

Aurora store (play store alterantive)

Total commander (closed source root file manager)

Canta (used to uninstall system apps, I just use it to see the descriptions of various apps and disable them)

Florisboard beta (I have made a very good copy of gboard with that, I can send you the files if you want)

Smartpack manager (info about the phone and more)

Appmanager (various detailed info about apps)

Hidden settings (settings your rom may not show, closed source)

Island (for dual apps)

Neobackup (root backups, has issues with work profile)

Databackup (root backups, I use it to backup work profile apps)

Sai (installer)

Roundsync (uses rsync or rclone I think)

PrimitiveFTP (to send/recieve files with ftp connections)

DroidFS (to encrypt files)

DiskUsage (to visalise storage usage)

Db viewer (to view databases of apps, closed source)

Termux (temrinal for android, too advanced for me)

UsageDirect (logs app usage)

Motionamate (logs steps)

Neutrinote ce (notes)

Fossify apps (gallery, sms, calendar etc.)

Librera (pdf, epub etc viewer)

Moneywallet (expense/income tracker)

Magisk modules:

• Adb and fastboot for android ndk

• Advanced charging controller

• Busybox for android ndk

• Lsposed-mod (maintained version of lsposed manager, after the original went archived)

• Zygisk mod

Lsposed modules/apps:

• Lucky patcher (hacking apps if you want to)

• Free notificiations to manage notifications

• Matrix rain (fancy effect with matrix background in notification shade)

• messengerEX (to disable adds in messenger app, in case you use it)

And many many more stuff

I was setting up my phone for about two weeks some months ago (the was a bug with xiaomi and work profile)😅

BlastboomStrice , 4 days ago to DeGoogle Yourself in What Are the Best Ideas for Using LineageOS with Root and microG?

Oh oke oke. I had issues with magisk a few months before I switch. I think there were incompatibility issues between magisk and lsposed manager, so I did a full reset, I upgraded the rom (from a beta version from November 2021 of the rom xiaomi.eu miui 12.6/android 11, I went to xiaomi.eu hyperOS/android13) and installed apatch so that I dont have incompatibikity issues (plus, it hides root much better).

I think the new "safetynet" is "Play integrity". I think you need playstore installed and activated to pass the test though.

At least, it seems like many apps are ok with passing only safetynet though, so probably not a big issue yet.

BlastboomStrice , 4 days ago to DeGoogle Yourself in What Are the Best Ideas for Using LineageOS with Root and microG?

I think it may be based on ksu, but also uses superkeys with passwords or something. I don't know much about its security, you may want to check the issues tab on github or generally the project itself.

BlastboomStrice , 5 days ago to DeGoogle Yourself in What Are the Best Ideas for Using LineageOS with Root and microG?

Have you tried apatch as an alternative to magisk?

It ~combines rhe advantages of magisk and kernelsu

BlastboomStrice , 9 days ago to Ask Lemmy in People who still wear masks (and aren't immunocompromised)...

I tend to wear them on public transportation:

a) in my city I wear them because we have bad public transportation and people tend to be dangerously packed inside the buses (this issue recently has started to be alleviated), so to protect my self (and also show that things arent well inside) I wear the mask.

b) in other foreign cities I wear the mask in public transportation because:

1)I dont want to be sick on vacations

2)Different countries probably(?) have kinda different strains of viruses and such, so it may be more dangerous for me.

HAHAHAHA trueee

It's like a bad and inefficient phone diary filled with random memories that drown the important ones in the expanding ocean of screenshots I have created
