What I mean is how much do you use open-source software on these privacy disrespecting phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, etc).

For example I use these apps on my Redmi 13C: -Floris board as keyboard -Breezy as weather app -VLC, Vanilla and Kodi as media players -Fossify as voice recorder -SimpMusic instead of Spotify -Nekogram (Telegram client) -Organic maps instead of Google Maps -Sealnote notes -Persian calendar as calendar -FDroid as store -Jerboa and Dawn (Reddit client)

etc.

All of this is about 10% since I have 100+ apps.

1 app on 76 apps is not open-source. So 98.7% of my apps are open-source !

I’m running GrapheneOS, so out of 82 apps on my phone only 10 packages aren’t open-source. These include social media, messaging, banking, and Google Play Store/services. So around 88% FOSS.

I only use proprietary software on my device if there doesn’t exist a FOSS alternative*.

*I know there are open-source options for social media/messaging but I don’t really consider having to convert my whole social circle to a new platform to be a viable alternative.

I’d say about 90-95%. I use open-source GrapheneOS, get most of my apps from F-Droid and only need a hand full of proprietary apps like WhatsApp or Instagram (because basically all of my friends and family use them).
