I’m new to android. (Default android 13, not looking to install custom ROMs because I need this to be very functional and dont have time to deal with bugs).

Anyways, I’ve installed F-Droid, Helix Keyboard and my go to VPN app.

What next? What browser, third party YT player, torrent client, jellyfin client (I’m deaf so need one with opensubtitle integration), email clients, rss aggregator, note taking apps etc. should I install? I’m paralysed by choice.

Is there an equivalent to the ios shortcuts app?

Anyways, I’ll be happy to try out any suggestions. Cheers.

    Some apps I’d consider essential:

    • URLCheck for better control when clicking on links
    • Termux for a terminal emulator
    • Tasker for automations (it’s a one time payment)

    If your phone only has Google’s gallery and files apps do yourself a favor and get some third party apps for these things. I use Fossify Gallery and Material Files but there are many alternatives.

    And here’s a good list for everything else: https://github.com/Psyhackological/AAA

      +1 for URL Check. Trimming down on baked-in trackers and stuff in links you click on is awesome
