This is kind of a big project. The goal is, to have a “ceise and desist-proof”, FDroid repo, as then you wouldn’t need AuroraStore anymore, to download the Google-bloated shitapps.
I use LuckyPatcher for the process, and document every removed permission and occurring Errors.
Currently there is my Magisk group, go there to stay up to date! I have two cloud backup solutions, safe and free for me, while I dont have setup a server yet, and don’t know how to do that as a hidden service.
MEGA-storage - - - Filen.io storage
Offline Apps
Many apps are just image editors, Volume control editors and more, that absolutely need no internet. Instead of making you dependend on NetGuard or LineageOSses feature to deactivate internet, anyone can just download and use these apps, with absolutely zero tracking!!!
Its so easy, just remove the internet permission and dont update the apps through AuroraStore. The apps currently:
- Volume Styles (change your volume control, customizable, even App opening possible!)
- SnapSeed (intermediate image manipulation)
- CuteCut (Video Cut)
- inCollage
- Notebloc (PDF scanner and processor)
- AppLocker (with Fingerprint)
- File Converter
- FileManager+
- I cant wake up alarm clock
- MirrorLab
- MandelBrowser
- Nova Launcher prime mod
- PicTools (batch compression e.g.)
- Rotation (useful for Tablets)
- Viral Icon Pack
Online Apps
Many proprietary services (eBay, Spotify e.g.) have no widespread FOSS alternative. I donr focus on making the shitties of shit tolerable (Whatsapp, Instagram, TikTok), because these companies make their apps so, that they recognize when they are changed and dont start.

Isn’t LuckyPatcher closed source? How do you know that it isn’t inserting anything malicious into the patched apps?
Yes, this is a problem I would like to change. It has unnessecary permissions too and I dont like having it on my phone.
Warden cant generate custom patched apks and I dont know another way. Probably you can do that manually, I can look into that, by modifying the apk by hand on Linux.
