Hi,
in this thread i want open an debate and start an new concept of using Android.
The idea is : use Android without Gapps and with Free and Open Source Softwares.

All the apps preinstalled are tested and selected one by one.

App preinstalled:
Gallery: LeafPic
Camera: OpenCamera
Messaging: QKSMS
Browser: Chromiuim
Dialer: DialerNext
Firewall: AFWall+
Adblock: Adaway
PDF Reader: MuPDF
Clock: BetterAlarm
MusicPlayer: Vanilla Music
FileManager: Amaze
Market: F-Droid
Launcher: Catapult

This ROM is full woking (based on factory 5.1.1)

This is the ROM on first boot


What did you do in this ROM? :confused:
This ROM is hard cleaned from useless apps and all the preinstalled apps (from Qualcomm) repleced with Free and Open Source Apps.


Without gapps? How i can install my apps? :confused:
Well if you need apps you can search and install alternative softwares from preinstalled store:
F-DROID

Rooted or Not? Xposed preinstalled? Modules?:confused:
This ROM have root and Xposed preinstalled with Gravitybox and Greenify modules.

How i flash it? :confused:
You can flash this ROM from recovery, wipe first.

of the ROM & Kernel.
Doubt he can provide source code of the rom, because it's based on leaked qc rom for the device, so no sources.

What this rom aim is to use open source apps instead of google's. The rom itself is by nature with closed source.

Either way, thanks for the release. Pretty decent minimal and cleaned rom.

Where is the source code
If it's truly open source, shouldn't the source code be available for us to have a look at? ;-;

I installed my apps from titanium backup and now when I hit the playstore, it doesn't open. I did a clear cache in the app, I re-installed the nano version that I had installed initially, but no luck. Do you know what else I could do?
