New motos are just too big for my baby hands so I got myself an s23 for a steal, but I’m finding that I miss some of the functionality that I used to have, and that some features are just annoying on this phone.

What kind of qol apps do you galaxy-havers use? Specifically are there any that let me use more than just double tap and long press on the power button for quick actions?

Note: I don’t know if I can jailbreak it and keep my carrier. I use Google fi so it seems like breaking it would break everything? But I have no idea :3

      Well, I have an old Oppo f7 that I’ve been using as a secondary phone. But my main phone is an iPhone.

      Sadly there are not alternative operating systems for either phone.

      So, I’ve been using an Oppo f7 as I live between two counties and need apps that are exclusive to one country or another.

      It’s dumb, but that’s how it is.

      Anyway, the oppo f7 is kind of dated and the touch screen is hyper sensitive. I’m only really watching Disney plus on it or occasionally using it for Lemmy or mastodon.

      I was thinking about getting a google pixel used for this purpose and putting GrapheneOS on there. I don’t want to spend a lot though. So, how far back would you go? Is a 4a going to be too old and run down?

          I’m really just looking to spend around $100 on an android.

          Where I live the 4a is like $140 used.

          I was hoping that GrapheneOS would have longer security updates for the phones.

          Maybe you would not know, but do you have any android models you would recommend? I’ll mostly just use it for streaming and a few apps that are not in the US App Store.
