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.)

I like how its cross-posted by a lemmy post made 2 years ago😆

and the people who made then happen

I thought it was talking about how to beat those people mainly responsible for the heat we face (like people in govs or big companies) and thus were the reason why those ideas were made.

@finishingDutch@lemmy.world @nogooduser@lemmy.world 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).🥲

Finally!

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)

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)

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)😅

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.

Haha well, when they come to Greece (or to a neighboring country with cheap transportation towards there) I might go😄

I’m back. They are goooooooooooooood! Lets gooo

I think I now am obliged to attend a live show of theirs😄

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.

Have you tried apatch as an alternative to magisk?

It ~combines rhe advantages of magisk and kernelsu

They seem interesting, I will try to check them out soon!

Ayy I had checked them once, I should probably dig deeper. They seemed nice :)

Apart from the repetition of a specific word (which might be an effort to reclaim it), I don’t think I saw anything racist. I’m a bit confused. They were more against the industry and seemed a bit feminists.😅

Abou the other band, Stray from the path seems to have a lot of potenial, I might start listening to them.

Could you please provide some info? I can’t find something that shows they are racists😅 (more like the opposite of that).

Hello again, as I am trying to compile a list from all the suggestions (and my suggestions too) I found it impossible to find your project. If you could provide me a link to bandcamp or something it would be very helpful (if you don’t want, it’s ok, no problem).

Haha, I wanted to do something like that for a long time. Btw, you can also find some extra stuff on the cross-posted post I made on Hexbear (they provide a lot of material with nice descriptions too)

Ohh, I know Grandson, tnx for reminding me of him. Used to be kinda obsessed with “Blood in thw water”. Will try check everything you sent

Amazing! So many options and bands, along with proper descriptions, thank you very much!!
