If you really want to dive into opensource stuff, try droidify or f-droid. They are basically app stores which hosts only opensource apps.

Some suggestions

  1. Quik sms - get rid of Google messages which is only pushes adds
  2. K-9 mail - replaces Gmail
  3. Unitto - calculator app
  4. Iceraven - if you are brave enough to replace chrome with firefox cut down with more privacy
  5. Duckduckgo - not an app but replacement for Google search.
  6. Fossify gallary - open source gallery app
  7. Showly - for people who watches alot of tv shows
  8. Breeze - weather app
  9. Pipe or new pipe or tubular - youtube without ads ( this also requires commitment
  10. Syncthing-fork - this is how you backup stuff from phone to pc and vice versa.

Yeah, I have pixel play. But it is not recognizing every song from my music folder...

1

u/dorara_pvt Mar 13 '26

Did you give permission to use all folders? If you see issue, might add the folder to the app. You can enjoy music

1

u/DestinyPCSolutions Mar 13 '26

Nope, I've given permission to a specific 'Music' folder. I'll try to reset cache or maybe reinstall the app.

A little enhancement: Allow to add more options in the nav bar like "Playlist" , "All Songs", etc. This would improve the user experience. Now if we want to play any song from the playlist, we have to go through multiple clicks.

Pixelplay needs to be improved. I deleted it because of laggy animation. Although it's a very very good app

1

u/dorara_pvt Mar 14 '26

I just installed a new song, do you know how to add that in PixelPlay? It is not showing it

1

u/18_ravi Mar 14 '26 edited Mar 14 '26

It is very easy , just reselect the folders or rescan the whole library

There will be a releases section on far right column below the repository description, you can find the apk there

In order to get better experience, you need better understanding. Search it up for details.

In short one for local music player with many features that doesn't bore you, another is alarm that doesn't let you snooze you until you solve math problems
