How has it been for you? I haven’t had much of an issue with battery life. On the days where I use my phone sparingly I get 2-3 days of life. On the days where I use it to browse, listen to music, and watch videos I may squeeze a full day.

One caveat for me however, I do use GrapheneOS and a great deal of google services are neutered on my phone.

I’ve never had a device I wasn’t able to root, though more recently I haven’t found the need to root. Latest phone being a Pixel 7 Pro running GrapheneOS. Check XDA forums for rooting info on phones old and new.

I use Niagara Launcher mostly for the minimalist look. But also because Nova was bought by an analytics company a bit ago.

It was bought by an analytics company.

Pixel 7 Pro w/GrapheneOS. Being able to control what my phone is sending or not sending + the battery life gain from everything not phoning home is amazing.

Absolutely a class deal with my family. They aren’t rich by any means but if you aren’t running a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone then what are you doing with your life? They have no idea how to use most of their devices and they also have to watch every youtube ad on their official youtube client… HAHAAHAHAAHHA

I used Nova for many years as well, but I switched to Niagara launcher when Nova was acquired by an analytics company.

Not being locked to one ecosystem and being forced to do everything the ‘Apple’ way. One of the biggest annoyances I have is being tech support for family with Apple products and they always ask why I am able to do stuff so easily with my ‘cheap android’.
