[APP] GITHUB - Keep Up With Your Projects On Your Mobile Device

One of the key aspects of Android is its open-source nature, and one of the biggest players in the open-source community is GitHub. What better way to tie that all together than for GitHub to release an Android app? So here it is
GITHUB​
" GitHub is the best way to collaborate with others.
Create, manage, and discuss issues and stay up to date with an integrated news feed for all your organizations, friends, and repositories.
View your issues dashboard to stay connected with all the issues you've reported, been assigned, or participating in the discussion on. You can also view and filter a repository's issue list and bookmark it for quick access."​
As you might expect, the entire application is open-source, and GitHub has invited users to take a look through their app's repository to see exactly how the application was built. Fitting right in with the latest Android style, the GitHub app uses a nice implementation of the Android UI guidelines (AKA "Holo"), which should be a good basis for other application developers to derive their own application themes from.
The GitHub application requires an account to use, but it's free to sign up, so go check it out.

Enjoy!!
Cheers!!

If it's not done already, you really should post this in a more generic app thread.
I'll try the app to follow up on CM9/AOKP.
Thanks.

Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security. It’s super-fast, simple, secure and free.
Telegram seamlessly syncs across all of your devices and can be used on desktops, tablets and phones alike. You can send an unlimited amount of messages, photos, videos and files of any type (.doc, .zip, .pdf, etc.). Telegram groups have up to 200 people and you can send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts at a time. Be sure to check our website for a list of Telegram apps for all platforms.
We built Telegram to make messaging speedy and safe again, without the usual caveats.
Why Switch to Telegram?
FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market because it uses a distributed infrastructure with data centers positioned around the globe to connect users to the closest possible server.
SECURE: We made it our mission to provide the best security among mass messengers. Telegram heavily encrypts all your data with time-tested algorithms.
CLOUD STORAGE: Telegram seamlessly syncs across all your devices, so you can always securely access your data. Your message history is stored for free in the Telegram cloud. Never lose your data again!
GROUP CHAT & SHARING: With Telegram, you can form large group chats of up to 200 members, send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts at a time, quickly share large videos, documents (.doc, .ppt, .zip, etc.), and send an unlimited amount of photos to your friends.
RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages in the minimum bytes possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It works even on the weakest mobile connections.
100% FREE & NO ADS: Telegram is free and will always be free. We are not going to sell ads or introduce subscription fees.
PRIVACY: We take your privacy seriously and will never give third parties access to your data.
For those interested in maximum privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats. Secret Chat messages can be programmed to self-destruct automatically from both participating devices. This way you can send all types of disappearing content — messages, photos, videos and even files. Secret Chats use end-to-end encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.
SUPPORT: For real-time support, please go to Settings in Telegram and select “Ask a Question” to send a message directly to our support volunteers. You can also email us at [email protected].

This application is one of the best encrypted chat applications out right now. Secret messaging and auto self destruct are amazing features.
If you don't like Facebook knowing everything about you through Whatsapp this is the thing to switch to. It feels super slick and fast. It has better options then any other messaging app has at the moment and it's growing bigger and bigger. Hope the community can give the attention this app deserves and makes it the new messaging app on Android/iOS/WP and PC.
THIS APP IS NOT MINE. I just want to give it attention since more people should use this amazing application.
Really good explanation from: Ba7rani123
Ba7rani123 said:
Many people are ranting that its the same as whatsapp so whats the use ? or Its not really secure because it uses your phone number
To know if an app is secure or not we have to look at 4 things:
Where is the company based ?
Who made it ?
Are the protocols secure ?
Privacy Policy
It is as Russian company with servers in British Ivory Islands(which keeps it away from the russian gov and the NSA)
It was founded by the brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov who are the founders of VK and are known to support wikileaks and other "pro-privacy" organisations
It uses their own protocol "MTProto". The company said it would give 200,000 bitcoins to anyone who can find a bug in their protocol. 3 Russion analysts found a few issues and they were given 100,000 and the issues were fixed as soon as possible. Other companies like whatsapp dont care because for many years it has been sending our texts without any encryption and now it uses a very weak type of encryption which can be easily broken by the NSA.
In their Privacy Policy they strictly show that they will NOT share any data with third parties.
But... Why is it better than Whats app ?
All Chats are encrypted. It uses its own encryption(MTProto) which was made to have a balance between speed and security.
- In normal chats it uses Client/Server and Server/Client encryption(which is considered secure based on many security experts who have analyzed the app), here your chats can be accessed on other devices(by signing in ofcourse) through the cloud
- In "Secret Chats" the encryption is Client/Client meaning even the builders of this app cannot see your conversations. Here you cannot access them using the could. That's why secret chat isn't used as default
It is Open-source
It allows you to send files up to 1GB in size
Allows you to send documents, zip or rar files
It has a cloud feature meaning I can access my chats from my computer and other devices, some may see this as insecure.
Cons :
It uses phone numbers(actually its not a big issue since your phone number is already all over the net !!)
Its exactly like whats app ? well its more of a Pro than a con because anyone can easily change to this with the above advantages
Conclusion :
Nothing is 100% secure but it is definitely more secure than any other app here. Also, it will remain free according to their FAQ because their goal is PRIVACY. Also, their may be an option to remove the "Last seen" in the future. Their FAQ answers many questions if you have any head over their.

I love it, I wish it becomes the new standard, but I see a big problem:
I'm from Spain, and now there is a huge hype with this app, but I think this hype will finish before the appearance of apps for Symbian, S40, BlackBerry and all those legacy OS, and people will leave it, because whatsapp is in more devices.
Does someone knows about any app in development for Symbian or S40?

Why do I have to give them my telephone number? :/

.
Ey I start using it a week ago and its insanely awesome!!! Same UI as whatsapp but a big problem is the day to day use of the app for example right now theres not much community I have got like 10 telegram friends out of 100~ that uses whats app.
Another thing they dont got is the verb conjugation we use for example
" I'll send you a whatsapp " > that stands for Ill send a text message by whatsapp. It became as a native verb.
" Ill send you a telegram " > Right now it doesnt make to my mind what do that means.
In Spanish we like to use a lot
" Te mando un whatsapp " " Hablame por Whatsapp " " Tienes Whatsapp " and the word Telegram doesnt is very friendly as the word "whatsapp"
" Te mando un telegram " "Hablemos por Telegram ".
So I really like the app and the Windows Client is just very nice and good to have
Let's wait and hope people like it.

Is it end to end encrypted? Then it would be a great alternative.
What's their business-model, though? Free and no Ads seems like it won't be around for long...

I care a big deal about privacy and don't even use a Google Account. But I think there are a lot of other things to worry about first before worrying about your telephone number. If you give your number to anyone who is using a phone or an app that reads his/her contact list and does whatever with it, your phone number is not a privacy thing anymore.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)

yea but I still don't trust app like this one. It's sad because I very wanted to use it instead of fb messager (which consumes lots of ram in my device). And "Fast for facebook" is not good for me.

Only the secret chat is end to end encrypted, a normal chat is phone-server server-phone, so the conversations can be synced between more devices
It's not a business, it's open source, they didn't make it to earn money

My notifications of Telegram don't seem to work properly. It seems that I only receive messages when I actually open the app.
Notifications are all on. Phone is used in wifi only atm, no SIM.
Anyone any ideas?

So the normal chat is not more secure than whatsapp.
Good to know there is an option for save chats, though.

Server Storage and Traffic don't fall from the sky. Open source is nice and everything, but somebody always has to pay something.
Anyway, the App looks very polished.

i'm not a security expert but according to moxie marlinspike, a developer of renowned secure text messaging app "text secure", this app's security is questionable. he actually called it snake-oil!

It's not the most secure system, but I think it is enough. They tryed to find a balance between security and speed
As he says, I peffer the Text Secure protocol, but its unusefull for me, I don't know one single person who uses it, and I don't like the apps

Questionable
I've been using this app for a while now and trying to get in touch with the devs regarding some basic privacy concerns. Essentially - all our data is stored on their servers (unless in the case of "Secret Chats" - which is not the default / passive option). So what happens if you OR the person you're chatting to gets a new number, loses their existing phone, or just deletes Telegram (as you would WhatsApp)? It seems all our data, chatlogs and files (pictures, videos, media, etc) stays on Telegram's servers indefinitely.
Given that this app is so focused on privacy and security, this seems to be a questionmark.

Project Articul8

Hi everyone,
I am a privacy guy and I just started a new project called Articul8 with the aim of building a new lightweight Android ROM that is both secure and has privacy built in to the core. I recently wrote about the project on LinkedIn (but I am not allowed to post links yet on this forum) and there has been quite a lot of interest from the privacy arena.
The plan is to develop apps which host all their data off the device on private remote servers - but more than that, the project will seek to develop popular apps which are hosted serverside, to prevent tracking and profiling.
I have already written a serverside Twitter app which does exactly this (I just need to write the client interface for Android) some time ago as explained in the linked article and I have also recently written a contacts app for Android using Ionic Framework. The purpose of this post is to try and gather some feedback and support in developing the project further. I expect this project to be a long term project which grows significantly over time and I am already planning server hosted apps for LinkedIn, Facebook, G+ as well as looking into SIPjs to create a VOIP client as well. What I haven't managed to plan out yet is how to build the ROM with most of the native apps stripped out and replaced with these new remote services.
I would like to make the entire project open source and publicly available - none of the apps will include any advertising or third party APIs - the whole point of the project is to firewall the device from all third parties as well as firewalling all the data from the device (in the event the device is compromised). All services should require passwords to open to prevent data being compromised should a device be stolen or taken from the owner. In essence the hardware will become dumb.
All feedback appreciated and if you are interested in contributing, please get in touch.

Privacy-Focused, Open-Source apps alternatives & unwanted content blocking
Useful apps, alternatives, solutions, unwanted content blocking - discussion and ideas​
Additional Information:
If you use xda app It's recommend to launch this thread in browser - BBCode doesn't work properly. I used it a lot...
I created thread for everyone that want to use some apps alternatives which may be better for your privacy.
I'm not paid, I don't promote any apps or products I don't suggest anything (e.g. these apps are bad), I just share information from what I or others found.
You choose what apps you use, I'm not responsible for any of them or for influence on your choice.
You choose what you block and what is "unwanted content" for you.
I do it in my spare time, so do not expect everyday updates and fast news.
Apps Alternatives for the most common solutions
of course, there are more, here I picked only some of them, for people who don't want to search whole internet and read separated articles.
You may also make a glance into post #6 for lightweight apps collection prepared by HemanthJabalpuri
If app pledges to respect privacy I write green RP
If app needs root (super user) permission to work I write red SU (It doesn't include additional features after granting) because you have a choice
If app uses root for additional features, that are not required I write orange SUF
If app is open source I write blue OS (check I want something more if you want know what role it plays)
If app is "pay to use" I write yellow PTU It doesn't include in app additional purchases, because you have a choice to use basic form or more advanced.
If app has additional features paid I write orange PF ​

Why using open-source apps are good?
Open-source software (OSS) is a type of computer software in which source code is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative public manner.

Click to collapse
(copied from Wikipedia) So what does it mean for every of us? We are able to check code if there may be something unwanted e.g. trackers. The question is: does anyone really do that? Yeah... However It's better when you can do that and it's not forbidden by license or any law. Now compare it with closed-source, really long, unclear licenses. (Don't understand me wrong - I do not point any of company).
how DNS ads blocking works? - It's really smart. You have to know what is DNS So basically pihole is DNS server which doesn't allow ads servers to be loaded. The problem is that it works in your local network. that's why you have to have VPN. With VPN your internet traffic will be going through your local network, so pihole DNS will be found and ads will be blocked (not loaded). If you want some guide how to set up it, write down here, or just type it helpful things you should know something about: DNS, pihole, pivpn, openvpn, wireguard, raspberrypi, ubuntu server, ssh, port forwarding, unattended upgrades.
Is it possible to flash Linux instead Android? Do Linux preinstalled smartphones exist?
Yes! You should be able to replace android on certain smartphones. Check PostmarketOS and Ubuntu Touch and SalfishOS Write down here if you want some PostmarketOS installation tips for newbies (everything you need you should find in their Wiki page)
There are only three Linux designed phones check Librem 5, VollaPhone and PinePhone. PinePhone sholud have maintain Linux kernel!
OK, I want linux on my phone now! - Check if you have compatible device with Ubuntu Touch or PostmarketOS and proceed with steps in installation guide. You need unlocked bootloader and ADB on your computer
There might be a problem... - Many apps are just WebApps, not fully working, without some features like push notification. Look into OpenStore - official Ubuntu touch appstore and search for what you need.
Tutanota is PF!? What are limitations? - Yes, on their site you have choice to have free account which has some limitations... for now [2020/07.05] 1GB space, one account, one calendar, possibility to log in app to one account. Second thing is you are "forced" to use their app their UI because If I'm not wrong they don't provide POP or IMAP. However it's usable
Other Tips to save privacy
Stay offline when you can. (whenever you don't trust the provider)
Become self-hoster. You can easily and ethically replace some services like online drives, music streaming clients, DNS.
Mix your data, don't allow to be identified by one email, one name, one account everywhere. (Of course if Terms allows)
Use proxies, Onion Routing, VPNs,
Dont' be lazy and read the terms of use, privacy policies when you feel something is wrong. be aware of different types of licenses.
Search for alternatives. There are always some. You can use: https://alternativeto.net to find app with open-source license.
Feel free to suggest what apps may be good for privacy, post your observation, app pros and cons
I collect information in 1st post, and make up "Changelog" in second post.
Sometimes I make mistakes, please forgive me and correct by sending pm. ​

Important Notice - Since I moved to Linux Smartphone I won't be searching for new android apps, maybe occasionally (and for cross-platform). Then, you can help! I'll update

stop tracking
Hello
It seems that the technology products produced are in it a tool to track users on different levels. Big guys want to exploit that more because they have many partners that pay for it.
I don't want to be a negative person, but if the technology manufacturer installs an eavesdropping tool or tracks a user through device activities, it's hard to prevent this, instead only may be unused.
Or maybe you say we use some ad blocking software (but we are being followed by another party).
Or accept using and getting used to the things that happen to avoid becoming more negative. :angel:

I am also maintaining some apps list, but those are lightweight https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lightweight-apps.3803885/
For offline working apps, I use the following equation No Internet Permission = 100% secure and privacy-focused

Introduction
iodéOS is a privacy-focused operating system powered by LineageOS and based on the Android mobile platform. iodéOS aims at protecting the user's privacy with a built-in adblocker and by freeing the smartphone from snitches.
The objectives in the conception of this ROM are threefold:
To keep the stability and security level of LineageOS, by minimizing the modifications made to the system. Apart the system modifications required by the adblocker, we mainly only added a few useful options commonly found in other custom ROMs, made some cosmetic changes, modified a few default settings to prevent data leaks to Google servers.
To ease a quick adoption of this ROM by new users. We especially target users that are concerned by the protection of their privacy, but are not reluctant to still use inquisitive apps like Google ones. We thus included MicroG as well as a coherent set of default apps (all open source, with one exception), and simplified the initial setup of the system. Particularly, an initialization of MicroG has been made with GCM notifications allowed by default, a privacy-friendly network location provider (DéjàVu) pre-selected, as well as Nominatim Geocoder.
To provide a new and powerful way of blocking ads, malwares, data leaks of all kinds to many intrusive servers. We are developing an analyzer, tightly integrated into the system, that captures all DNS requests and network traffic, as well as a user interface (the iodé app). Compared to some other well-known adblockers, this has the advantages of:
Avoiding to lock the VPN for that use. You can even use another adblocker that uses VPN technology alongside our blocker.
Being independent of the kind of DNS server used by the system or set by an independent app: classical DNS on UDP port 53 or any other one, DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH), ..., as we capture the DNS requests before they are transmitted to the system function that emits the DNS request. What we do not support, is DoH when it is natively built into applications, i.e. when an app communicates directly with a DoH server, without asking name resolution to the system. It would require to decrypt HTTPS packets between such an app and the DoH server, which may create a big security hole.
Precisely mapping DNS requests and network packets to the Android apps that emitted (or received) them.
Deciding which apps have a filtered network usage (by default, all apps), and which ones can communicate with blacklisted servers.
Since its first versions, we added many features to the iodé blocker: several levels of protection, fine-grained control over the hosts that should be blocked or authorized, displaying statistics on a map to see the quantity of data exchanged to which countries, clearing statistics... We are actively developing the blocker, and new functionalities will be regularly added.
Features
Changes in LineageOS to prevent data leaks:
Default DNS server: Google's DNS replaced by Quad9's 'unblocked' servers in all parts of the system.
A-GPS: patches to avoid leaking personnal information like IMSI to supl server.
Captive portal login: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com replaced by captiveportal.kuketz.de for connectivity check.
Dialer: Google default option replaced by OpenStreetMap for phone number lookup.
Pre-installed apps:
We included many useful default apps, but our choice cannot suit everyone; so we added the possibility to remove them. It can be done at the end of the phone setup, or at any time by going to Parameters -> Apps & Notifications -> Preinstalled apps.
MicroG core apps: GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore.
NLP backends for MicroG : DejaVuNLPBackend (default), MozillaNLPBackend, AppleNLPBackend, RadioCellsNLPBackend, Nominatim Geocoder.
App stores : FDroid (with F-Droid Privileged Extension) and Aurora Store.
Browser: our own fork of Firefox (with Qwant as default search engine, many other ones added, telemetry disabled, parts of telemetry code removed) instead of Lineage’s default browser Jelly.
SMS: QKSMS instead of Lineage's default SMS app.
Email: p≡p (Pretty Easy Privacy).
Camera: our own fork of Open Camera, with a few tweaks.
Maps/navigation: Magic Earth GPS & Navigation (the only one free but not open source).
Keyboard: OpenBoard instead of AOSP keyboard.
PDF: Pdf Viewer Plus.
Personnal notes: Carnet.
{Ad/Malware/Data leak}-blocker: iodé.
News: to keep users informed about our developments, as well as a FAQ.
Meteo: Geometric Weather.
Pre-included FDroid repository:
The apps that we tweak or develop (microG services, the browser based on Firefox, the News app, Open Camera ...) are available through a repository that we included in FDroid (check the "Apps for iodéOS" category). For this purpose and to avoid name conflicts of some apps, we also had to make a few changes in FDroid.
Useful options from other custom ROMs:
Smart charging (disables charging when a given level is reached, to protect battery health).
Fingerprint vibration toggle.

Downloads :
iodéOS
04/04/2023 (build 20230401):
Installation procedure: move to a fastboot script (read instructions: https://gitlab.com/iode/ota)
Blocker: improved use of blocking lists (sub-domains blocking)
FDroid: fixes an issue on apps update
LineageOS synchronized with March security patch included
All apps updated
07/02/2023 (build 20230131):
Upgrade to iodéOS 4.0 based on Android 13 / LineageOS 20
Blocker:
Improved blocking settings. You can now choose 'Standard' blocking (ads, trackers, malwares, etc) or 'Reinforced' blocking (same objective but more extensive), and then select additional categories.
The 'Porn' category has been extended to a wider 'Sensitive content' one, that also includes fake news, gambling, drugs, piracy, torrent..., with mainly child protection in mind.
The 'Extreme' category has been removed, as it is now part of the reinforced blocking.
Improved blocking lists. We merge several acknowledged and up-to-date sources, and have diversified our sources to produce more complete lists. The standard list has however been reduced a bit, to avoid as much as possible interference with apps expected behavior.
Added a new network location provider: Local NLP Backend. It is an improved version of the DéjàVu NLP backend which was already available in iodéOS. Like DéjàVu, it builds a local database connecting localizations learned from other NLP backends and apps using GPS, and mobile antennas/Wifi; but also has an active mode (not preselected) that can trigger GPS requests. To configure it: Settings -> System -> microG -> Location modules
LineageOS synchronized with January security patch included
All apps updated
New devices support: Pixel 3, 6, 6a
16/12/2022 (build 20221215):
Blocker: added multiple selection in settings / domain customization. Long-press on a domain, select several domains or all, apply actions (block all, authorize all...)
PdfViewerPlus: improved security by updating core libraries
Network settings: added a switch to disable connectivity check (and thus captive portal detection)
LineageOS synchronized with December security patch included
All apps updated
New devices support: Pixel 4 & 5, OnePlus 9 & 9 Pro
10/12/2022 (build 20221210): initial publicly available build of iodéOS for OnePlus 9.

Thank you so much... been trying to do MicroG on my own but can be confusing trying to figure it all out and where to go for the various items needed. Glad to see all in one and will try this with excitement! Coming from an Android 13 custom rom should be no issues if I follow instructions correct?

This should be work yes. The low-level A12 firmware is embedded in the ROM, so it should be flashable in any situation.
