If anything stands out as shit let me know, these have all been go-to's for a while so it's possible something better is out that I'm just not aware of.

I'm also looking for 2 things. First, a remote for Transmission (BitTorrent) that doesn't suck. I had been using Transmission Remote but it has a weird crashing issue with Oreo. Second, a widget that looks like the one in the new Pixel launcher. I've tried Another Widget and the Pixel Dos KWGT Widget but they both constantly have issues updating and displaying the right info.

Nova sucks. Use buzz launcher.

why is buzz launcher better

This looks Chinese af, why would I use it?

You can build your own widgets and shit. Minimalist is how I set mine up. Black screen, three buttons. Phone, messages, internet.

Dump your browser and use Firefox Focus too.

>as a dream, our founding members have always wanted to create a Social Launcher for users.

All of my fucking no. Keep your chink spyware.

You sound like a queer.

Fucking chodes man, why would anyone use a prebuilt system. You download the client and use your own shit.

Do you even speak English or are you just responding to key words? You butchered that reply like your government butchered innocent people at Tienanmen Square

Anyone knows a good free freezing app?

>What apps do you always install/recommend?
None. I get rid of apps instead
>What apps are you currently seeking a replacement for?
Android OS

Nice joke. Just as cheap as everything else that comes out of your country.

isn't DNS666 basically a proxy that filters all the ad traffic out?

do you feel comfortable sending all your browsing data to a 3rd party service?

It runs locally, I don't use the actual DNS servers that are available, just the filterlists.

Amaze - File Browser
DiskUsage - Figure out which folder is taking up all that damn space
Gallery (The orange one on f-droid) - Best gallery I've used, good editing tools for cropping screenshots
Material Tea Timer - Good for comfy fall afternoons
OsmAnd - Better map downloading policy than Google Maps, great for roadtrips where you don't want to have data turned on, or for wifi-only devices
Puzzles (f-droid) - Plenty of thinking puzzles, including minesweeper, a fantastic way to pass the time
Simple Solitaire Collection - Card games, I've put plenty of time into this
Survival Manual - Keep this on your phone for reference once society falls apart
Unit Converter Ultimate - Converting Tablespoons to Cups is no longer an annoyance
Vanilla Music - BlackPlayer is nice and smooth visually, but Vanilla is just way more solid

The only problem I have is that it seems to crash after a reboot on 8.1, but I'm sure that will be worked out by the time it is out of beta. I only use the built in AdAway filterlist, and then I add the StevenBlack list and I've been really happy with it.

I like solid explorer, but FX explorer is the best =).

Actually, one is better in some things, other better in other things. I prefer the advantages of FX

>FX explorer
Nice, I'll check it out. It looks like one of the few that supports SMBv2 so that's cool, and it's been updated just as of a couple days ago.

Fing, is a local network scanner, i always use it when i can since is faster than NMAP.

They implemented SMB2 recently. In the beginning it's got buggy, but now it works properly.

But, actually, I don't even know why use v2 instead of v1. Hahahahs

The W10 Fall Creators Update disabled v1, so if you want to keep your OS up to date you don't have a choice.

...

>It utilizes Android's VPN service to redirect DNS traffic to the local app, and filters out any blocked hosts from reaching the servers

The VPN is the running locally. This is just the default Android warning for any traffic being routed through a VPN.

Ohhhh shit I get it now lol thanks

these. other than that toy app.

Does it have any firewall capability? I currently use NetGuard as firewall and DNS changer.

>using VPN bypass to redirect your traffic to an unknown dns while the app permanently disables doze and rapes your battery

The absolute state of samshit users

Droidsound-E
Packet Capture (Non root, there's probably a better app for rooted only phones but I can't be assed)
RetroArch
Can't really think of anything else I'll auto install

haha adaway is a piece of crap

Adaway
Dashan + Clover + Reddit Is Fun
Discord + Steam (2auth)
Es File Pro (the last good version) for file management and music playing
Quickpic (the last good one) for gallery and video
Patched Pandora for streaming

I currently use Firefox but am looking for a replacement. Any better alternatives? I don't care about free, just has to be good

>converting tablespoons to cups

I mean, I get what you're saying, but you picked like the easiest examples, shoulda said like oz to anything or whatever.

not that guy, but if your phone is already rooted, what's the downside of it compared to DNS66? They seem to do the same and AdAway was really well established, are just memeing?
