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?

    Please don’t use nova launcher, they were bought out by an analytics company. Stick to foss.

        I’d say the fact that it was bought by an analytics company tells you everything you need to know.

        Why else would they buy it?

          of course, I want to know how urgent this is - it’s stealing my data now, or they’ve only just bought it and perhaps just blocking updates is enough (until I find time to find a FOSS replacement)?

            It’s been years since they bought it at this point, I haven’t looked into it myself, but i’d be astounded if they weren’t already.
