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.

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

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

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.
