Kia ora!

I’ve been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I’ve just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what’s changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I’ve had a hunt around xda but can’t seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!

What do I need to know?

    UGH that is awful.

    Thanks for posting that. Goodbye Nova.

    Are there any launchers that are recommended?

      I ended up giving on custom launchers after that and going with what was included on the phone or custom rom. So not sure which ones are good alternatives.

        I don’t have any particular needs for a launcher, but I just like having options for things, etc.

        Honestly, looking through a few I’ve seen so far… they just aren’t terribly appealing. I’ll probably be in the same boat as you.

          It’s already elsewhere in this thread but Niagara launcher is fantastic and worth a try.
