Remove the fear of app compatibility on de-Googled Android devices.

Google Play Services are essential components on most Android devices. They allow you to access your Google account seamlessly and provide Google-specific features for apps that depend on them.
However, when you flash custom ROMs without Google Play Services or opt for alternatives like microG, certain apps may encounter issues — either not functioning at all or experiencing limitations in specific features.

Plexus provides detailed insights into app compatibility whether you’re using ROMs without Google Play Services (like LineageOS) or ROMs with microG (such as CalyxOS). It helps you identify which apps work, don’t work or have limited features.
All the information is crowdsourced by the community, for the community.

WhatsNew:

- Support for Android 16.
- Updated minimum supported version to Android 8.0 (Oreo).
- UI enhancements & multiple optimizations.
- Added option to customize list view style.
- Added ability to create app details shortcuts.
- Implemented sorting functionality for search results.
- Display date & time of submitted ratings.
- New translations & updated existing ones (contributed by the community).

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ Connects to Google Play to retrieve icons.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Constraint Layout Library (Utility)
library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
Coordinatorlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
Navigation (Utility)
a framework for navigating between 'destinations' within an Android application that provides a consistent API whether destinations are implemented as Fragments, Activities, or other components.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Room (Utility)
a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
Recyclerview (Utility)
display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Swiperefreshlayout (UI Component)
implemtation of the swipe-to-refresh UI pattern.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
Lottie for Android (UI Component)
Render After Effects animations natively.
Google Material Design (Utility)
library to help with material design guidelines.
Tink (Utility)
a multi-language, cross-platform library that provides cryptographic APIs that are secure, easy to use correctly, and hard(er) to misuse.
OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.
Ktor (Development Framework)
framework for quickly creating connected applications in Kotlin with minimal effort.
