FP6 (and others) experiences with Lineage, Proton and without gapps

After years of running CyanogenMod and Lineage with a small a gapps package as possible (just for contacts and store access), I’m at the point to ditch Google all together.

However, as I picked Proton as replacement I have 1 minor challenge. The contacts you have stored at Proton are only accessable via the email app. How do people without google and a contacts provider that only offers access via email app manage contacts on the phone so you see a contact name when receiving calls?

Do you manually store important contacts on the phone, is there a way to copy from the app (in this case proton mail) to the phone,…

Also, Aurora store allows acces to the google store for the apps without tracking, but is there a way to get the apps you bought as well (without installing gapps)?

I dont know proton. My set-up: FPOS, no Google Account on the phone. Contacts App from Fossify. Mail through posteo.de . To sync mail, contacts, appointments I use DavX5.
So did you check what sync options like Davx is offered by Proton?

Reg apps bought: When you usr Aurora with the Google Account you used to buy the App you should see them in Aurora. I dont think it works for in-App purchases.

I tried to use aurora with my google account and it showed a price for the 1st app I looked up instead of an install option. Will try again later, as the phone will get wiped within a few min…

If I remember correctly, even if the price is shown it just installs.
