      It’s a new platform, a lot of apps aren’t there. You can suggest an app as free or proprietary.

      So you either don’t use a banking app or your bank is awesome and has a foss app?

        Yeah no money things allowed on my phone. Browser based and on my desktop only.

        I wish banks were forced to have an open API that FOSS devs could hook into.

    lineageos default apps identified as proprietary…

    shouldn’t this only check for user installed apps?

      I think because it only looks at the app ID it struggles a bit. Another user on github mentioned their Xiaomi system apps were proprietary, but because they shared the same IDs as AOSP ones, they were labeled FOSS in the app

    Should be Higher (-2) because I have MicroG installed, and it misidentifies them as the proprietary GMS since they share the same app ID.

    I got a low score of 37%, but only because I am running a phone that I cannot unlock the bootloader on to install another OS if possible. I have as many of those proprietary apps as possible disabled or try to refuse to let them have internet and/or data access using NetGuard. That sucks because I’d love to use it in conjunction with the VPN I am paying for, but that would require root, which I don’t have.

    The time when I can get a legitimate Linux phone with something like WayDroid for miscellaneous things like PvZ2 Reflourished or my bus pass app or whatever else I might still want/need from android, cannot come soon enough.
