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!


You can use microG for apps that require Google Services, I’m using it for 6 months with no problem at all.
From what I understand, that’s still problematic for privacy. A bit more containerized, sure, but still having to make calls to Google.
