I already have Nova Premium (my preferred launcher) which is what people have recommending. Was thinking of getting Stardew Valley since it’s only $5 but I did some research and apparently the mobile version is a bit out of date, idk.

not 100% relevant to the post but do not use nova they got bought out by an ad/tracking company and shouldn’t be trusted to be a launcher

damn, thats a bummer, time to try out some FOSS launchers :(

any recommendations? I basically just need screen shortcuts, folders, and notification icons would be nice. also maybe pages but I could do without that with folders

I use lawnchair launcher if you’re willing to use a beta version from a project that may or may not be dead and hasn’t been updated in like half a year unfortunately the up to date version isn’t on the playstore I don’t think and I don’t remember where you can find the up to date version sorry :(

I’ve developed a minimalist launcher in case you want to try something different.

Slay the Spire is a fantastic roguelike deckbuilding game, and I think the mobile version is around that pricepoint

Hmm, I’m not usually into deckbuilding games, but that does seem like something perfect for touchscreens

Stardew Valley is a great choice, if you are into gaming maybe some of the android ports for GTA? Like GTA 3 or Vice City.

I already have the classic GTA games on steam, plus I tried the mobile ports when they first came out and I could NOT deal with the touch controls.

Think I’ll just go with Stardew if I cant find anything else, since I doubt I’ll ever buy it on desktop and these kind of daily grind simulators are great for mobile

AppOps: It’s a permissions manager that lets you grant apps “fake permissions”. Basically, it makes an app think it has a certain permission, but when it tries to use it it doesn’t get any data.

It’s very hard to pirate, and root is not required :) It costs 3.00$

Also consider checking out Poweramp, It’s one of the best local music players out there (1.00$)
