  • As an IronFox user, I can say I quite like it. Its a good Firefox based browser. Left off where Mull ended. Glad it exists

    Also, may I suggest Thunder for Lemmy as well.

    I fully intend om trying Comaps.

    +1 for Aegis. Been using it for years.

    For SMS when I have to use it QUICK has been great

    Molly is fantastic too. I like that the database locks after a set time, I have mine 12 hours, but that’s a great feature to have. I also appreciate the notification system not relying on googles. I plan to setup unified push at some point too.

    Self hosted: nextcloud, immich both fantastic. I wish there wasn’t a restriction on sideloaded apps using Android auto because I’d love to use Tempo for Navidrome. Currently I use Symfonium.

    Sorry for it being out of order








  • I wish there was a launcher that came close to Nova. The main feature I miss is swiping on icons to launch different apps or intents. That and the scrollable dock.

    I have since moved on to Lawnchair, but it isn’t quite 1 to 1 replacement.

    I will always shoot to use open source where I can. And I suppose I have to live with some od the limitations and missing features for now.

    I could continue to use Nova, and just block internet access like I used to; but that feels like a step back on terms of privacy than just using something more privacy conscious.

    I got into custom ROMs late into the game. I always had locked devices because it was easier for me paying monthly for a phone.

    However, when I switched to using my Pixel 7 Pro I tried LineageOS, and a few other forks and such. I tried GrapheneOS back when I was on my 7 Pro. I didn’t stick with GrapheneOS because I was struggling with some app compatability. Ultimately switched back to LineageOS with Root. It allowed me to use my system wife adblocking, and other custom stuff such as custom kernels, and modules.

    I broke my 7 Pro, and got an 8 Pro. For a brief period of time I used LineageOS with root and custom modules and kernels. I got tired of having to fix play integrity and safety net. So I switched to GrapheneOS.

    Noe that I am on GrapheneOS again full time, it has gotten a lot better, and more importantly I have changed my habits. So GrapheneOS offers me exactly what i want and need.
