Free software for Android

[Shiryu]

I have bought an Android tablet and I want to run applications that are free software.
Most things in Google Play are garbage, because they contain ads, are intrusive or are a worsened version of the paid version. It is difficult to find open source applications.

I would like to ask for advices to get free software for Android. Suggestions of Google Play Alternatives or a list of free software applications will be appreciated.

Hm..., it's kind of hard to advise on alternatives without knowing which applications you'd like replaced. Did you forget to post the list?
Meanwhile, as a generic answer, I can tel you that others have tried it.

Also, Google Play does have quite decent applications, not all of tham show adds, and some are worth paying for.
