I use stock Android, and all of the apps I am using are from F-Droid, I do not use Google's apps. I have them uninstalled.

Many of the apps I am using (Gallery, Dialer, Contacts, Camera) are from https://simplemobiletools.com. Source code: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools. Its Gallery looks similar to Fossify's. Its "About" seems almost identical, so I dunno.

You might want to check the permissions and such on the latest versions of those apps. Fossify is a fork of SimpleMobileTools but without the ads and trackers added by the new owners.

Tibor Kaputa seems to be the owner of the "Simple ..." ones. Still maintained.

So I should switch to Fossify?
