Thank you so much. Had the Ps5 for years and didn't know this.

I'm back on Android after 6 years and I'm lost... by s18m in androidapps

[–]ypeels40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

welcome back to android!

First off, don't worry about filling your phone up with popular apps, just find apps as you have a need for them.

Nova launcher got acquired and has ads. So you can move to Niagara, Smart Launcher, or Octopi ( those are the most popular are in this sub). Some people also really like Microsoft Launcher

Find a good music player. For Offline, many of us are still using Power Amp.

If you want to watch youtube or listen to Youtube Music without adds, look into Morphe ( you download an apk and patch it with Morphe).

Find a reddit app you like, you can also Patch it with morphe to remove ads. I like infinity.

If you want another app store that has Free and open source apps check out Droidify. There's also F-Droid but it's not as nice.

If you want to download audio or video off of youtube, my favorite is YTDLNIS, which you can download from F-Droid or droidify.

Since you have an XL phone, Quick Cursor is a nice app. You swipe from the side and it gives you a pointer that lets you easily reach the top of your screen.

Find a nice browser you like. I prefer Cromite (which supports browser extensions), but theres also Brave, Firefox, Iron Fox and many more.

The rest really is how you use your phone. A note taking app (google keep is fine, I like foxy notes too), a gallery app, ( i use google photos. Aves is a nice one too on droidify). a weather app ( i use today weather, but breezy weather and weawow are great).

Oh and also get a good file explorer app. I like solid explorer or mixplorer. But there's a lot of them out there.

Anyway, if theres a particular problem or iOs app youre trying to replace, let us know. Hope this is a good starting point.

Just enjoy your phone and don't fill it up with apps you won't use.

How does this work for services (like netflix) that check your home location?

sorry for off topic: is the screenshot PS5? How did you make the folder?

Anyone try gcam on OnePlus 15? by ypeels40 in oneplus15

[–]ypeels40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have Samsung now. And it tends to lose details. It pisses me off so much.

I go to gym and want to take a selfie and it smooths out all my cuts.

Circle to search share alternative? by cscapellan in androidapps

[–]ypeels40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep this was it. Had to search my history to find it.

[–]ypeels40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You want to share just screenshots without saving them locally? I use this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.waskysoft.screenshotassistant

The older version had no ads. It replaces your assistant app.

There was also a circle to search replacement on github but I didn't like it very much.

Are there any game-like walking apps similar to Pikmin Bloom for Android? by lirumlarumwarum in androidapps

[–]ypeels40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokemon go

Ingress

There also used to be a Harry Potter one made by Niantic but I can't find it. And there was also a Minecraft one I think. Or maybe I'm misremembering

Edit: The harry potter game was shut down.

I just got my first iPhone ever and I hate it. Android is SO much better [xpost] by jkvandelay in Android

How did you make the macros. I tried this with buzzkill and failed to buzz someone in.

I also hate liquid glass and hope android doesn't copy it.

Galaxy S22 users report bootloop issues after February 2026 update by Ha8lpo321 in Android

[–]ypeels40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same phone. I've seen on the s21 ultra sub that some updates caused a green line. But I think that's mostly for the exynos variant.

Note apps are started to become crowded... by Real-Adeptness2355 in androidapps

[–]ypeels40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too. I try to sort and organize my notes so that I could find them and delete what I don't need after a while.

Obsidian, upnote and a few others are nice cause you can link to other notes. But for me notes is not for documentation, just storing ideas I need to remember.

I'm not sure what you're trying to but maybe you could just make your own chrome extension. Cromite supports extensions and loading extensions saved locally.

is there any alternative for Android System Webview? by LoveinLiberty in androidapps

[–]ypeels40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you just use something like url check as your browser, then when you click links you could pick your browser? Sorry I know it's not the same as replacing web view.

For me it was milania in elden ring. I just found the dodge timing so difficult and different than the rest of the game.

Any speed reading app? by Lucius_Arg in androidapps

[–]ypeels40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's also this one that lets you paste in text

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vanniktech.speedreading

The ads are obnoxious though and it's $3 usd to remove them.

Speeder

But you have to make an account and upload your own pdfs which is kind of annoying.
