I've got a few crutches I'm not ready to give up so I'm on regular Android but I've been starting down the path of using F-Droid only apps so I can trasition more smoothly when I'm ready. The only app I've got left is Maps, OsmAnd is a little too tedious for me but I'll convince myself it's worth it eventually. I'm also concerned that I might not be able to get Project Fi working quite right.


I am using "Here WeGo" https://here.com/ (originally developed by Nokia), quite a good alternative to Google Maps. It does not need any Google services installed. Downloaded it directly from the Google Play store with Raccoon.


Hmm, that Raccoon thing seems ok but using something like that would be a bit of a sideways move for me. I'd rather move toward 100% libre software and not rely on proprietary software I'll need to hack around to maintain privacy.


Then I would suggest Neo900 https://neo900.org/ . Good presentation about the concept: https://neo900.org/stuff/cccamp15/ccc2015talk/talk.pdf
