Is there an app to list directory contents and save it to a text file? I want it to be configurable so only certain files and folders are included in the text file. Much like DirList for Windows, except for Android.

I propose an app, that makes my phone a dlna-streaming-server with control-point. I would like to show pictures and videos on any device, that can has a dlna-mediaplayer (eg. my TV) and control the streaming with my phone. Bubblepnp is much to complicated âŚ

Canât come back to F-Droid, see https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues/1052
It would be cool to have an app that letâs you perform basic internet speed tests. There is an open source command line program speedtest-cli, so it shouldnât be too hard to port it to Android.

Try Fennec with plugins like uBlock origin, NoScript and so on. 
Does anyone know an open source app like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.anton_mokshyn.touchscreentest?
Your OEM doesnât have a âsecretâ diagnostics screen?

Thatâs an awesome idea! How can I access it?
I have a BQ Aquaris X2 Pro.
I found this list but most codes are not working (especially *#*#2664#*#* for the touch-screen).

No idea really, search more 
This app should provide a list of secret codes that work with your setup:

I donât think I see many specific app types that are lacking, but the quality of many are poor.
There are no swipe keyboards, the weather widgets are basic, the launchers are all vertical scrolling ugly (folders in the app drawer?), the podcast apps conform to a non-traditional workflow, whatâs the point of so many file managers, check list/note apps, and password managers I donât trust?
I enjoy open source but itâs more impressive when it is quality.

Better start coding thenâŚyou know itâs not that easy, people code to solve their problemsâŚ
And thatâs a bad thing? There are plain boring normal ones too, not sure what was the point.
Many? Anyone that can copy TotalCommander two panel layout (no please not Ghost) and be usable? None? Hence we donât have enoughâŚ
You can see the source code⌠not sure you can do that with LastPass or 1Password or whatever closed source app the cool kids use these days, but those are trust worthy? Why?
No you donât, you want them to be just like the other apps (quality wise), but freeâŚ
You want them to get better? Report bugs, help translate them, recommend them to others⌠invest some-thing

(For a first post, looks like a non return ticketâŚ): many of these âpoor basicâ apps can, at least, be re-used for a safe scholastic purpose ; itâs great to have them listed somewhere with link to open source code.
In that sense, for example, DevCamera an ClassyShark could be (easily) added to fdroid.
Concerning password managers, following prism-break, secure and present in F-Droid, are KeePassDX & PasswordStore.
Apparently, some fdroid exclusives, like Fennec Adaway âŚ, are missing
on their android web page https://prism-break.org/en/categories/android ; maybe a useful cross sync could be officially done ?
I also dig a bit filtermusicâŚnet app : is there a âQT builderâ in fdroid build server?
I only have two apps left on my phone which is free, but closed-source.
One major app I think is missing is an anti-theft app, since I am attempting to go as much Google-free as possible on Android, by disabling Google Services and Play Store you lose your ability to remotely track and wipe your device in case of theft.
Secondly, although I do trust the apps available on F-droid, there is no antivirus on the store. Iâve tried every well known antivirus on the entire Google Play Store, at the end of the day I settled with Comodo and/or Dr.Web. These are not FOSS apps, but they are the only ones which are lightweight and regularly updated. The only problem is both of them collects usage data and etc.
Thirdly, a task manager/task killer. Iâm using the Task Manager made by ByteHamster via Yalp Store. Any plain, simple and fast task killer with a one-click kill shortcut would be appreciated.
Lastly. Waterfox. I love Waterfox Browser so much that I stopped using standard Firefox. So I was hoping to see this on F-Droid.

To scan what exactly? APKs from F-Droid?
Google Services were removed, so soon? F-Droid ¡ Issue #234 ¡ WaterfoxCo/Waterfox ¡ GitHub
Not only the APKs but general files also.

Such an apps are closely tied to a cloud service. So youâd probably start from that end.
antivirus
Emmm, what is that? We in Linux world donât encounter those beasts.

There are a few but not much.
I like https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/com.eolwral.osmonitor but itâs abandoned. Some apps have âkillâ feature, e.g. KISS launcher.

Thatâs probably not the same but we have a couple of FF-based browsers.

Thanks to F-Droid, just discover Drozer, like csploit, drozeAgent.apk shows that âandroid/ antivirusâ can be useful: especially for multi-users shared devices.
btw I donât get why Riot needs * android.permission.READ_LOGS
