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!
Not sure what launcher Moto Razr uses, but in case it is a typical AOSP-like launcher that the other models use (I have used moto Z, mot g 5g+, g85) then you might want to keep it. It is fine as is.
Set up Smart Connect if you like its functionality. Enable Quick Share and maybe Smart tag tracking. Check out gestures and customizations in Moto app. Chop for flashlight and twist for fast camera are my favorites. Been using those since the first motorola I had.
As for apps, Firefox with uBO extention, YT music revanced and YT revanced is a must. Maybe set DNS resolver to something like dns.adguard.com to filter out ads. For Lemmy I suggest Thunder. If you use Linux with KDE, KDE Connect is also quite a tool to have. Other ones choose be by taste.
For a yt music app, you can also use metrolist.
