Kia ora!

I've been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I've just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what's changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I've had a hunt around xda but can't seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!

What do I need to know?

I don't like it because it has become very iPhone-like in the bad ways, meaning it takes several clicks to do simple, common tasks. I much prefer Samsung's OneUI for how easily accessible everything is.

    Yes! This trend towards reducing the UI because they assume their user can't comprehend more "complex" words like "Customization", "System settings", "Advanced system settings", instead just opting to remove the settings entirely, or hide them behind categories and stupid drag menus 🤷‍♀️
