Which qualities would you like to improve?

I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.

  • Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options

  • Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity

  • Solid Explorer to do file system stuff

Built in stuff:

  • Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed

  • Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule

  • Flip to Shhh is great forโ€ฆ shushing. When flipped.

  • Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when Iโ€™m actively awaiting interaction.

  • Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.

Didnโ€™t Solid get sketchy too? I remember feeling obligated to migrate to Material Files.

Since you already have a pixel you should seriously look at grapheneOS.

You can remove internet access so you donโ€™t give your data.

Best QoL feature IMHO. My husband and bestie can get through with calls, everyone else gets called back.
