New motos are just too big for my baby hands so I got myself an s23 for a steal, but I’m finding that I miss some of the functionality that I used to have, and that some features are just annoying on this phone.

What kind of qol apps do you galaxy-havers use? Specifically are there any that let me use more than just double tap and long press on the power button for quick actions?

Note: I don’t know if I can jailbreak it and keep my carrier. I use Google fi so it seems like breaking it would break everything? But I have no idea :3

    Thanks for this link. All my US banks are on there. Although it’s not really a bank, but PayPal is not listed. Does anyone have experience with this or with banks in the Philippines?

        Thanks for the heads up🙏🙏

        I’m really interested in android, but all the google services are kind of a turn off. I only really use YouTube, but not even the official way.

            So, I’ve been using an Oppo f7 as I live between two counties and need apps that are exclusive to one country or another.

            It’s dumb, but that’s how it is.

            Anyway, the oppo f7 is kind of dated and the touch screen is hyper sensitive. I’m only really watching Disney plus on it or occasionally using it for Lemmy or mastodon.

            I was thinking about getting a google pixel used for this purpose and putting GrapheneOS on there. I don’t want to spend a lot though. So, how far back would you go? Is a 4a going to be too old and run down?

                I’m really just looking to spend around $100 on an android.

                Where I live the 4a is like $140 used.

                I was hoping that GrapheneOS would have longer security updates for the phones.

                Maybe you would not know, but do you have any android models you would recommend? I’ll mostly just use it for streaming and a few apps that are not in the US App Store.

                    Nevermind, I see that there is an s10e. I’ll compare those two phones to see if the 10e is worth the extra $20.

                    Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I do not mind running stock Android, but I would prefer something less bloated. It looks like the s9 is about $70 here, but the s10 is $150-200. Why would that one be so much more expensive?

            Well, I have an old Oppo f7 that I’ve been using as a secondary phone. But my main phone is an iPhone.

            Sadly there are not alternative operating systems for either phone.
