F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
After reading a lengthy GitHub discussion at the Openboard repo that went into the logistical options and challenges I decided to go with the less-than-ideal option of using Helium314's Openboard fork with the proprietary Google swipe library (libjni_latinimegoogle.so) imported. I've been using it for a few weeks now and though it feels slightly different than the Gboard I'm used to, the difference has been negligible and I'll be sticking with this setup for the foreseeable future.

What is your favorite app that doesn't have a good open source alternative?
There used to be USB Mountr, an app that allowed you to load an iso and emulate an usb drive containing that iso. It was awesome, you could feg. load a Windows install iso and install it from your phone to PC. Or load a linux live distro and run it on your PC straight from the phone.
