It sounds as if you're actually using the apps installed from the playstore. If they're from F-Droid you shouldn't get any nagging or ads.

I use gallery, contacts, and file manager from F-Droid, up to date, and no ads or nags at all, ever.

I use the same group of apps plus the calendar. What do you use for that? I'm finding it great with a couple of niggles. Not opposed to jumping, even there's some friction.

I also use the Simple Calendar, but shamefully also use Google Calendar due to my grandfathered custom-domain email hosted by Gmail.

Simple Calendar works with it for individual calendars, but the Google one does shared calendars with less friction.

I use Simple Calendar (I've never had any issues with it) but the other one I've heard a lot of people using is Etar.
