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!

    I even download the apps directly from the Play Store from another device, generating an APK from it with an appropriate tool and moving to my main phone, which uses a vanilla system.

    What? Why? There is many untouched app distrubitors (apkpure, apkmirror…) and you can evem be 100% sure by checking hashes

      Some times for praticality, others for testing certain elements, others because there are device-specific builds.
