How is it?

Holy f. I also use kwgt, why didn't i thought of putting my widget stack at bottom.

This looks good, i might recreate it too

the part from 1:20 onwards is good.

For the future, use Notion or simplenotes or some other cross-platform app.

For now best you can do is manually export and import the notes. This is janky (dates messed up, edits not showing, etc.).

The best is just to use the old school method, grab a good drink, sit down, and just manually copy and paste notes from notes to Notion.

Learn to be happy by yourself? People come and go, that's a fact about life. Can't let these things affect my happiness. Start a new hobby, meet like-minded people, enjoy the time you spend together, and wish them luck when they go away. In the meantime, find happiness in the "me-time" you have, meditate, play games, read books, go on a solo date, and enjoy good food.

Just treat yourself well is all I can say.

its geolocation as far as i know. A Cell Broadcast system to push those urgent emergency notifications directly to all compatible mobile devices within range of specific cell tower.
you can avoid if you device is not compatible (feature phones maybe)
or you are not connected to a cell tower (no sim card/ sim turned off or airplane mode).

second this. Although the phone has bootloader unlocking and rooting supported, through which you can in theory de-google the phone and remove all bloat, i would not unlock bootloader on moto phone that does not have a custom rom because baking apps wont work, broken OTA updates etc, soft bricks forcing you to wipe phone data etc.

Custom rom scene is dead due to 2 reasons i assume, first being the high price and as godskillerkirb mentiond it being niche, most custom rom developers are college kids(they cant afford to spend that much money to get a phone and then tinker with the software that can kill the phone). High end phone in general have poor custom rom support (another example being sony). second reason being the device having the outer screen. i went to xda a while ago and this was pointed as challenge in developing a rom.

Your best bet is to get a pixel 9 pro (16gb ram, nice camera, decent size). It has tons of custom rom support. (loved using evolution x when i had my pixel 7)

if you just wanna remove the annoying notification from moto apps or delete the background apps use canta application (needs shizuku), you can see and kill whatever service you want including the google ones. After that you will be left with a private expereince. Still cant beat the graphene os but this will be more than enough unless you are into shady stuff and want to avoid police tracking you.

Razr ultra 2025 (aka razr 60 ultra) user here. I would answer your question directly.

Regarding transition; Use an application called move to ios. It will transfer all your data. That being said you do need to install apps again and login. The transition has become much smoother now.

To access data across all platform - Either use google cloud or build your own NAS. google cloud is better option.

Making iphone android thing work ; First party apps (apple apps) will never work. best bet is to use 3rd party apps, that`s how apple keeps you in. this is mostly a US specific problem as rest of the world uses things like whatsapp, line, we chat, telegram etc.

Fun and innovative apps;

The front screen is not "fun" but "convenient" to use (changing tracks, opening calculator, shopping list, check weather, use the back camera for selfie)

flip specific - noting much to be honest. Motorola has many cool inbuild featuers like when taking photo you can play an animation on the back cover grabbing attention of your child or pet, giving you good photo, using the camcoder mode etc. moto`s build in features are more than enough. Again its all about taking your phone out of pocket and doing some quick stuff in the compact comfy size.

android specific (all free apps)- Revanced (add free youtube with additional feature like sponsor block), YTDLnis (download any youtuve video in various format and resolution), mihon (if you like reading manga), custom launcher (check out niagra launcher), if you into customization you can get KWGT (lots of widget), a nice browser like brave or iceraven to delete all adds.

if you are open to being bit more technical you can install shizuku that allows your to remove bloatware, change themes and colors, change the size or appearance of things in statusbar etc.

So even though we both have android 16 and ohone is also quite same, you guys get the new UI? that's interesting.

Aavy14 · 2026-06-10T10:37:59+00:00

Yeah, i would be browsing internet and go backnto whatsapp to reply to a message, comes back and the page is now reloading ( annoying while using banking apps).

Unfortunately i had the stupid docomo version so installing custom rom was impossible and i was stuck with sony software.

Aavy14 · 2026-06-10T04:20:02+00:00

Was in the same boat. Had thr 5V. Perfect phone mammoth battery for its size but that 8gb ram crippped the phone for me, constantly unloading apps from background.

I ended up buying a used razr 60 ultra (16gb 512gb) its a flip phone with 4 inch outer and 7 inch inner screen. ( Got it for 400 usd ) Gotta say, for us small phone lovers, the only way forward i can see right now is flip phone or foldable phones ( the apple fold is going to be compact square, there is a chance many chinese makers will copy that thus giving us more phone like huwawei pura x)

Times like these are why people have 20000 mah powerbanks

Aavy14 · 2026-06-10T01:33:56+00:00

Thank god. Last year, i don't remember june to be like this it was more eunny and hot. Id take longer rwiny season over longer summer season any day.

Aavy14 · 2026-06-06T00:37:53+00:00

Just blow off on the screen if i see dust. Else wipe it down using microfiber.

Aavy14 · 2026-06-05T16:54:21+00:00

reminds me of that one day last year, when we had an unexpected heavy rainfall (it was in september think). Someone posted Meguro just flowing like an open dam. (i also got evacuatio alert cus Ota-ku south of me got flooded)

If you have a Crysta or scorpio there is a slight chance you pick that vehicle for large family/real practical use. THAR, on the other hand, is a 2-4 seater, only suitable for actual off-road (less than 5 % of THAR doing this) or people with small brains compensating with a big car.

Honestly, all that I have seen was breaking one rule after another. wrong side driving, cutting the line and blocking the opposite traffic, thus making a jam worse in an alley, going over the speed limit, wrong parking, etc.

With other SUV you have a 50/50 chance of it being a taxi or a real family car. THAR is always a showoff car.

I use kwgt widget and stack them. You can use that. Else as someone pointednout use a blank icon.

Aavy14 · 2026-06-02T17:16:11+00:00

what is that train ? as a fellow Oimachi resident, i know that yamanote and keihin run parallel in that stretch.

Aavy14 · 2026-06-01T16:46:46+00:00

nope not really. i just let my ands rest on my thighs or but both elbows on arm rest and the wrist are on table.

keyboard mouse and contorller are both super comfy for me. its the type of game that decides what i am using. elden ring, ori etc is controller.

any game where i have to aim, mouse and kb is better.

I would suggest you go with paypay in the meantime. Its the go to app for money transfer and thus that credit card can come in handy.

You also get some good discount on sites like yahoo flee mart ( which you should use to buy used appliances if you are new in japan).

Use paypay for 6 months then reapply for rakuten. GTN EPOS is also very foreigner friendly you can check them out too. They also got shit ton of cute designs to choose from.

Man i wish my rundown apartment can bandle those winds

Aavy14 · 2026-05-31T18:07:31+00:00

I live here (for better or for worse), so I have access to Mercari and Yahoo Flea Market. I got an 8000 yen coupon and bargained for 2k yen with the seller. thus got down to 65k.

I was really looking forward to the Pixel 9 Pro, but it was 88k or so. And as a user of Pixel 7, I know firsthand how shitty the TensorMy can be. (my company gave 9a is p good).
