I like the calendar of simple mobile tools, but in contrast to Etar it cannot create a local calendar. Therefore, I prefer to keep Etar. The calendar from simple mobile tools or fossify can easily be installed by each user in parallel, if needed.
?
If you use it without to connect it via davx5, etc… It’s a local calendar…
Or do I understand it wrong?
Yes, it acts in a way like a local calendar, but not as a local calendar that can be accessed by other apps. I just created an appointment in the calendar of simplemobiletools and tried to find it with the calendar fork of fossify. No chance.
In contrast, with Etar you can create a local calendar that can be accessed by other apps. I can see an appointment saved with Etar or the calendars of simplemiobiletools or fossify in the local calendar created with Etar in every other calendar app. Maybe this is no problem for most users, but it offers more flexibility.
This does not mean, that Etar is my first choice to manage events in my calendar. Since Etar had/has a problem to manage recurring calendar events, I use Etar only to create a local calendar and manage it with the calendar of simplemobiletools.

Well, the way it’s written, you can mothball all of the old treasures you use because there’s iodé or Lineage, they don’t get any more updates.
Or is this a clever move from Google, a rogue who thinks evil.
Great, but when comes to Galaxy S9? 
Pep = Fairemail
Carnet = Fossifity
To move further away from the playstore it would be maybe a good consideration to use instead of magic maps (absolutly great app) to organic maps. its aviable in fdroid for the updates.
Carnet → Quillpad
Open Camera → Aperture
pEp → K9
Magic Maps → Organic Maps
Geometric Weather → Breezy Weather
Recorder → FDroid Record You.
(for Audio and Video … etc.)
Fossify Apps
(my wish: Fossilfy File Manager: with more Access in Android/Data …)

I’m actually quite happy with magic earth. Maybe the iode team could reach out to the developer to get updates directly implemented via a Fdroid repository. They seem to support many app stores
Magic Earth is not Open Source. So it won’t be available in F-Droid.

But you can add custom repositories to Fdroid. In case they would provide the URL/link it could be added even if closed source, afaik
+1 for FairMail

Thanks for taking user input into account as regards the new email client (K9/Thunderbird) @Antoine! For new users, Thunderbird is definitely a great choice, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to make the transition from desktop to mobile. Quite a few folks also argued for Fairmail, but I imagine people wanting that much control will also be able to get it installed.

As I understand it, the iodé-Browser is a fork from lineage, without the telemetry and some minor alterations.
I was wondering, if iodé would consider taking over/fork the now forsaken mull-browser from DivestOS, which has been equipped with settings from the arkenfox-user.js., making it more privacy-oriented and more secure.
It would appear that Mull browser will be forked after all…

Ich hatte zuletzt die App “Google Speech Recognition and Synthesis” verwendet, um einerseits eine gute Sprachausgabe beim Navi zu haben (ohne Roboterstimme wie “espeak”) und gleichzeitig, in der gleichen App, eine Spracheingabe nutzen zu können. Hierzu hatte ich die App installiert, den Internetzugang zugelassen, um die Sprachdaten herunterzuladen und dann den Internetzugang sowohl in den App-Einstellungen als auch im iodé-Blocker zu sperren.
Das funktionierte eine ganze Zeit lang sehr gut, leider nun nicht mehr. Zumindest die Spracheingabe geht nur noch, wenn ich die Internetberechtigung zulasse und ist nicht mehr offline möglich…
Da ich auch bisher keine adäquate Ersatzlösung gefunden habe, möchte ich fragen, ob es möglich wäre, eine entsprechende Lösung (Sprachein- und ausgabe) in iodé zu integrieren.
Ich fände toll, wenn das ginge und vielleicht geht’s anderen auch so…
Du kannst dir über aurora eine version installieren die noch ohne Netzwerk Zugriff funktioniert.
Die letzte mir bekannte ist
Version 24.9.361717975
Vielen Dank für die Info und die Versionsnummer, leider ist mein Aurora-Store jedesmal abgestürzt…
Ich hab’s dann nochmal mit der aktuellen Version probiert und siehe da, jetzt konnte ich die Sprachdaten installieren und der App den Netzzugriff blockieren… Keine Ahnung warum…!
