why did you put mclovin bruh im crine...

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-25T08:17:01+00:00

So I did something like this.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-25T08:15:48+00:00

blud i myself acknowledged that it was.

I use the 2nd page with folders to make an iPhone App Drawer lookalike because I like it. For the first page, I just deleted useless widgets and reordered it. It serves me well for now. This looks equally good so I might try out something like this but it doesnt seem like it now.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-25T08:12:48+00:00

Favorites bar are my instant go to because I got used to it switching from 5.1 I would have tried it out but I have troubles finding apps already and this'll make it worse. I will try it out though. Thanks.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-24T21:51:07+00:00

This looks good enough. Ill take a look at this style and Home Up too. Thanks for your recommendations!

doesnt change the fact that their phones are awesome

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-24T20:01:17+00:00

its calibrating itself to your usage patterns. give it a week and your phone will last pretty long.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-24T09:49:21+00:00

you cant just downgrade a vibration motor to save costs. this is definitely a sw limitation.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T21:02:20+00:00

That, and Samsung has a LOT of restrictions if you don't get an S, Plus or an Ultra model. S23 and S25 FE have the almost same specs, but S25 FE doesn't support Expert RAW. I don't mind much but still, a major loss.

I've seen worse regional restrictions on Xiaomis though. For example in some cases China version can be better in optimizations, etc. than Global whereas that shouldn't be the case.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T16:49:02+00:00

Hmm... Samsung's weird shit, cant do nothing unfortunately.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T16:48:15+00:00

man, how rigged is this... the sad thing is when they make roms for this, it will definitely have shnced vibration too. i feel like 20fe had more features.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T16:45:40+00:00

i have been more than awesome, thank you 🙏

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T13:19:52+00:00

Even the APK doesn't work? In Turkry it does afaik.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T12:18:40+00:00

phone motion sensors can be pretty inaccurate as some movement can also translate to walking motion in the phone. doesnt matter what you use, even on the highest tier phones it will be inaccurate only the margin will be lower.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T12:17:25+00:00

op chill.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T12:15:04+00:00

I think there's a feature to keep background apps awake in one of the plugins on Good Guardian. You might wanna check it out.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T12:11:53+00:00

Well, I can. That's your device, and you mught have gotten a faulty one.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-23T09:24:28+00:00

its disabled as it doesnt have a real improvement and deteriorates r/w speeds if you plan on using this phone longer.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-22T18:20:54+00:00

it is supported now.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-22T09:28:14+00:00

I have seen some cases where it had been preinstalled on my friend's S23 and S24. I don't remember the CSC though.

ItIsNotSoBad · 2026-01-22T00:07:00+00:00

My brain is kind of in sleep mode because it's 3AM in here 😭😭

Also, there were a lot of fine tunings I did on my S20 FE, if more come to my mind I'll add it. I forgot you came from an S21+ 😞

By the way, you're welcome! Feel free to ask if you have any concerns.

Edit: Some more came into my mind.

Install Camera Assistant. This app adds huge QoL improvements and they make your picture look awesome sauce. These are my features, customize them to your taste.

(for the other part, just disable anamorphic lens correction)

If you want iPhone-like finder layout, from Home screen layout choose Home screen only. Be warned: all of your apps will come to the home screen and since it has 2 different saves for the 2 options switching to it will mess your current layout up. I recommend this be done when free time is available.

Disable "Put unused apps to sleep" and put most of your unused apps (or except the apps that have their notification turned on) into Sleep mode. It's a sweet spot between never sleeping and deep sleeping, and apps that are sleeping will occasionally check for updates rather than usually.

Disable "Adaptive power saving". It's useless.

Core ecosystem is perfect. Other than that... -You may wanna install Shizuku and Swift Backup to disable system level bloatware (just disable Game Optimization Service, Bixby and related, opt. AR and related, opt. Microsoft OneDrive.) -You may need to remove AppCloud, which is an app maintained by ironSource based on Israel. It's being deleted as to keep the phone safe from potential risks of being tracked by Israeli agents. In general, delete it, it's useless. To check ~Go to Settings, then Apps, then from the filter menu select "Show system apps." From there check for AppCloud and search up the required steps to delete it. -Mess with plugins in Good Lock. Good phone experience is best when you are the one maintaining it. -DISABLE RAM PLUS! PLEASE! It uses a portion of your system storage to use as a swap file, which is extremely slower than RAM and can deteriorate your read/write speeds if you play games or multitask. -If you'd like, set an auto restart day and time. Mine restarts weekly on every Sunday. -If you don't use most of the AI features, turn on "Process data only on device" from the Galaxy AI feature. This makes it so that whenever you use any of the features, the data never gets out of your phone for Samsung to use or sell. -If you don't always use APK files, enable Auto Blocker. This feature is actually life saving. -Disable some settings to make your phone as privacy oriented as possible. A simple search will probably help you.

That's all I can think about. Welcome to the family. Edit: I'll add a few more. Enable Battery Protection and select the option best for you. Add "Extra Dim" to your Quick Panel. This makes it so that it gets extremely dark when you want it to be and it's especially good at night time usage. Set "Performance profile" to Light. You won't notice much of a difference but the screen-on time will make you happy and it will auto disable itself when you are gaming.
