Newpipe, for watching youtube videos without ads or tracking
Openboard keyboard for the one feature I can never be without again: moving the cursor by swiping left or right on the spacebar, it's a godsend for selecting stuff with my wide fingers

We have similar lists, so some considerations:
- Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I'm blanking on the name of)
https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery
Simple Gallery was bought by ZipoApps and will be soon flooded with ads and tracking garbage, FossifyOrg forked the whole simple mobile tools suite, and will continue development independently of ZipoApps
I honestly don't use that much foss on my Android phone, but DVD has to be my favourite. I like sharing memes as videos instead of links in chat apps and it lets me download videos from just about any app or site by just sharing the link to the DVD app. It uses yt-dl in the background, so any site supported by that should work.
I also constantly use Bitwarden, Aegis and Home Assistant along with a couple less often used ones. Those three felt so obvious to me that I didn't feel like picking them as my favourite :)
There's a lot of good recommendations here but I haven't seen anyone recommend Trail Sense yet. I use it to keep track of my steps without worrying about my levels of activity being monitored by anyone else. It also notifies me an hour before sunset since I actually go hiking.
My favourites so far.
Not open-source but the only gallery I found without trackers:
I am lazy, so let me just put the link to my non-root smartphone guide with a section for FOSS Android apps.
Material Files - the best files app I've ever used! Clean, material design and has everything I need. It can even run an FTP server
I'd recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it's hardened.
It's basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile
Obsidian isn't FOSS. I highly recommend Logseq but keep in mind they require CLA signing for contributions
Nextcloud News I like for RSS since it fetches the full text article. Obtainium lkke others mentioned is a must have for me.
Here are some not mentioned in this thread yet.
Keyboard:
Games:
System:
Media:
Misc:
Just the apps I thought of, as I, as mentioned in the SD Maid entry, have a lot of apps installed :P
F-Droid, Voyager, Eternity, Libretube
2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.
Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.
megladon for mastodon
What's FNG? Fluid navigation gestures? Is that FOSS? Can you share a link to the codebase? Can't find it
OpenBoard + predictive text binary
