So I just got a Moto Razr and am going to start setting it up. I’ve been outside of the android ecosystem for a long time. Can I get some recommendations for anything and everything? I recently read the Nova launcher has gotten much worse since I last used it. I’m also not sure if I should do a launcher or just use the base OS. I know that there are loads of articles out there, but I’m getting really tired of wading through AI gen articles and would love your personal experience.
Thanks in advance!


Additional tools that are the kind of thing you use occasionally but come in clutch:
Image Toolbox: Has all the cropping, EXIF data editing, collaging, file format conversion, etx. you want (something like over 100 tools, hence “toolbox”)
EtchDroid: Handy if you don’t have your laptop with you and need to flash an ISO to a USB drive
App Manager: Nice to check the package names of each app when using ADB to uninstall bloat
Termux: Terminal basically, I use it for occasionally sshing into my laptop server when I’m out (using Tailscale to access my local network)
Fossify Voice Recorder: Neat if I want to record some audio clips
Saber: I think this is more meant for Android tablets, since it’s for handwritten notes and diagrams. Occasionally useful if I need to draw a quick sketch for something
