With gboard I can choose handwriting, so I can naturally write on android. Anyone has a suggestion of an degoogled app or option of that feature?

I want the best search results, mainly images. I\u2019ve been using Ecosia with AI overviews turned off, and am intrigued by the whole planting trees thing. Is it legit or fake? Is startpage better?
Also load times are important too. Thanks

Hello, as of today, it marks 3 months since I've started my degoogling journey, and it has gone pretty well, except for well of course, mail
Proton and Tuta have been really great alternatives, but Tuta offers no IMAP, and Proton charges for it
Now I am no freeloader, I understand that things cost money to operate and that I should support the services I enjoy, but as a student I simply do not have the funds right now, even if it's dirt cheap.
The reason I need IMAP is that I prefer to have my phone as decluttered as possible to prevent it from ever running slow, meaning the fewer apps the merrier, with IMAP I can manage my student mail and personal accounts with simply one app like Thunderbird or similar

I've heard some of you use alternatives. I am currently trying to use both on WebLibre but man, it is definitely not the same as having the native apps. Whenever I go out of YouTube the timeline just resets and on YT Music the songs can only be heard if I keep the tab on. I wonder is I can have both apps in a style of Container. I'm currently using a Samsung s21 (yeah I know is not the best phone but It's what I have).

Right now i'm using brave browser.But I need a lightweight privacy focused browser as a second browser.
#I tried Soul Browser.It's great but not open source.
Note#
*App size max 50-70mb
*Fast & privacy focused
*Built in Add block
*Block google tracking

I need an app that translate my conversations in real time when speaking while wearing my earbuds while still respecting my privacy (nothing too complex just few phrases while Talking to coworkers)
Is that feasible or a pipe dream?

Finish: matte, one color per model, no gradients, no loud branding
Size: compact, fits in your hand, modern not retro
Chip: mid range Snapdragon, 6 or 7 series
Why that chip: easy to source, runs every normal app fine, stays cool, good battery, no unnecessary power
OS: fully de-Googled, open source, Android based, no tracking by default
Compatibility: optional sandboxed layer for apps that need Google checks, like banking or rideshare
Community: partner with GrapheneOS, Purism, Pine64 instead of leaving them to fight alone
What we give them: real distribution and support, not just reverse engineered access
Goal: private, open, and still smooth enough for daily use, not a hobbyist only device
If enough response, will post exact design and specs.
Thank you

[DEV] Astra Browser \u2014 Firefox/Zen-based, built solo over the last 4 months
I got tired of every "privacy" browser...What's actually different:
- 5 built-in no-tracking search engines (no Google as default, ever)
- Full ad/tracker protection out of the box, no extension needed
- AI Sidebar that's opt-in and provider-agnostic (you pick which one, or none)
- Local-only auto-backup \u2014 your data never touches a server that isn't yours
- Compact Mode, Split View, Tab Folders, Vertical Tabs for people who live in their browser
- Full Light/Dark theme, WCAG AA compliant
Built on Firefox 153 / Zen 1.21, actively rebasing security patches (69 CVEs already backported for the next release).
Still early \u2014 129 downloads so far, solo dev, no funding, no company behind it. Windows builds available now, would genuinely love feedback/bug reports from this community since you're exactly who I built it for.

Below is my current list i've been maintaining for ages, i've ticked loads off in the last 6 months. Please feel free to look, critique or ask questions.
I'm still reliant on Waze, which is still Google. I use comaps 75% of the time, but sometimes I just need good traffic data!
Android Auto, I don't use it too much, I try just use bluetooth to the car.
Whatsapp... I just can't get anyone to move.
I moved to DeepL, is there any self hostable or private translation options?

CalyxOS's "special features" are the firewall, storage encryption, the panic button, the hotspot, MicroG, and seedvault. While many are standalone (like MicroG), can be replicated by using apps (the firewall), and some are feature I'll probably never use (the panic button), some seem to be hard to replicate, like seedvault backup. Is the local method literally the exact same or very similar to regular USB backups? Or is it different? Also, is using a custom ROM the only way for using a verified boot with MicroG, or can it be used standalone with stock verified boot? What I'm basically asking is "Can you recreate the CalyxOS core experience on stock Android?" Cuz CalyxOS often is very stagnant in terms of updates, and I don't really wanna compromise that much on security patches on features you can already replicate using existing software. Is it worth it?

Performance is my priority, and save phone's live (even +1\u2105) is something that I care about, battery, ram and cpu usage, gaming experience, so now I use LineageOS with GApps, but what if I moved to Vanilla version? Will I see any improvement?

Working with Proton Support, I was able to restore my account after I had lost the password, the recovery text, etc. So, I'm back in business. Right now, I'm forwarding my gmail accounts to Proton, which I know isn't ideal but to me it's a start. The question is, where do I go from here? I have a paid account, which gives me Mail, Calendar, Pass, Drive, VPN, Lumo, etc. I'm not looking for a hardcore degoogle, I just want to reduce the amount of information they get about me.

I have my gmail email, calendar, contacts migrated with Fastmail's built in tools. Events sync'd on the server. Events sync with my email/calendar/contacts client Thunderbird on my PC. However even with using DAVx5 my calendar events that migrated from Google do not all sync on my Android phone calendar well.
