- Comment on New To Android? What Apps to Choose? 5 days ago:
I would recommend an adblocker. If your VPN supports proxy or you can make do without it. I recommend PersonalDNSFilter.
For launcher depending on personal preference I recommend Niagara Launcher or Smart Launcher 6.
For RSS feeds I recommend Feeder
For YT apart from Newpips, there’s Libretube and Tubular( a newpipe fork with sponsorblock and youtubedislike support).
For torrent Libretorrent or the basic but simple PikaTorrent. For games there’s Endless Sky, Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
For image editors there Image Toolbox
For note taking app I use Orgzly(revived), but you can try the ones like Open Note which are simpler.
For Lemmy clients there’s Voyager, Jerboa Both are fantastic, smooth and functional.
If you need recommendations for more categories of apps feel free to ask. The community will answer where it can.

- Comment on Are silent notifications needed for background services? 4 weeks ago:
You can try and let us know. Chinese ROMs are more aggresive with App killing so it may break it on those ROMs. But, everyone else should be fine.

Voyager and Jerboa are a safe bet if you want compatibility and stable features. Bonus points for being Foss clients.

- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 6 months ago:
That was almost a decade ago or even before. I remember adockers recommending white listing search engines or recommending to disable non-instrusive ads to support websites.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 6 months ago:
Your whole existence revolves around peddling ads before people can watch the ads they want.
Ah, what. Who wants or likes to watch ads at all?

- Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox 1 year ago:
Considering, the mobile browser also has addons and will gain hundreds more in a few months. It’s a no-brainer.
- Comment on Google Play System updates vs OEM security updates 1 year ago:
Relatively speaking, as long as it’s on the latest version of android(android 13, 14 and maybe even 12), alongside the latest security patch. It should be fine. After that date, depending on what security issues pop up, it would be best to get a new device if required.
If you are worried and have reasons that make you believe it could be bad, consider saving up for an upgrade and combine trade-in offers to do so later.
- Comment on Health Connect: Transfer data / Backup and restore 1 year ago:
Considering, they ship software where you lose data and need to factory reset due to faulty updates (android 14 storage issue). It can be worse.
- Comment on Health Connect: Transfer data / Backup and restore 1 year ago:
Health connect is still in beta it will be a while before they introduce that feature. You can let others apps like samsung Health and sleep for android backup the required data and use it to restore. Make sure to test well if it actually works to avoid data loss.
- Comment on Recommend me some Android games 1 year ago:
If you tried vampire survivors, you can try magic survival. It’s the original bullet hell roguelike, which inspired other genre defining games.
There’s 9th dawn rpg 3, which is a good indepth roguelike rpg game. Talking about roguelikes, let’s not forget Pocket Rogues. Then there’s grimvalor 3rd rpg hack and slash platformer.
You also have Titan Quest (legendary with all DLCs unlocked or regular version with in-app purchases) on mobile.
I also enjoy Undead Horde and Tesla vs lovecraft
Some people mentioned dead cells. Which reminds me that there’s a functional port of hollow knight for android. Just search reddit with Google.
- Comment on do samsung batteries of newly bought phones drain faster than they should..?? 1 year ago:
Don’t turn off adaptive battery. It’s there to optimize battery usage.
- Comment on At what percentage battery health should I consider replacing it? 1 year ago:
6 hours still sounds fine. Wait a bit longer for it to deteriorate and replace. Probably, at something like 50 or 60% of battery health.
