   F%$&*ing #Android! I just uninstalled and/or disabled a bunch of seemingly unnecessary system apps, after looking them up online to see what they are, and now my phone dialer has disappeared :-(

      What I would love, is to be able to lease a mobile device from a #PlatformCooperative, with accompanying remote storage, and both the device and remote storage servers running 100% #FreeCode software. It would also need to provide a stupidly simple sync system (also free code) that allows me to keep a copy of all my user data, on my own laptop/ desktop/ server/ external drive. That's something I would pay for, on a regular subscription.

      Does anyone know if doing a factory reset on an Android device can restore system apps I've removed after rooting my device? Or does it usually just wipe user data and installed applications?

      Crisis averted ;-P I installed the #Dialer2 app from #FDroid, and I can make calls again. Now I'm curious about whether I can remove the built-in Contacts app and its accompanying bits and bobs, and replace it with a #FreeCode address book? If so, can I then sync my contacts with #DavDroid and #NextCloud? New toys ...
