  • Not OP, I went from a Pix5 google stock to Pix9 with Graphene on it. I transfered data manually. I think it the best way to go about it.

    A lot of of apps have an export setting feature that I used.

    IMO is also a good time to clear out bloat - the app you haven’t opened in 3 years doesn’t need to get copied over. Old downloads or a meme you shared one time 2 years ago - gone. Pictures or anything of sentiment get backed up and maybe copied to new phone.

    I transfered most files by plugging in both phones into the computer and copying files the easy way.

    I also setup syncthing to automatically sync the picture folders, a folder where I put copies of the exported setting files and few others for misc files and stuff I want backed up regularly.








  • In Need for Speed, how many other cars did you hit or do you play with traffic off? In a video game there are no consequences, so you end up hitting dozens and can keep going as you learn the game. In real life, you hit one car and someone is either dead, wishes they were, or incredibly lucky.

    How about hitting the trees, the road barriers, going through grass? All that stuff costs the community money to fix.

    Let’s say you’re the best (or luckiest) player in the world and never hit anything, how much did your little cousin hit when you first gave up the controller?

    Street racing is a crime because its dangerous to other people. You are intentionally putting other people’s life at risk for your own personal entertainment.







  • Honestly, its not perfect, but at least I’m not having ai prompts and constant adverts shoved in my face.

    The stock Graphine apps and home launcher are very basic, they didn’t focus on them because there are prethora of better options already out there. For the basics, I recommend lawnchair, fossify gallary, fossify file manager, fossify phone, and open camera. For messages, I’ve got nothing. Only thing I’ve found that works right with group chats and sending pictures is google messages…


  • I left spark once the AI crap started being introduced. I also realized how terrible the “single sign on” feature, where you make an account and it saves all your email accounts in it for you.

    K9 has worked fine for me for a few years now.

    Reviews are from people opposed to any change when Thunderbird took over, which were pretty negligible btw.

    With whatever client you pick, check the fetch settings, which for K9 are found when you click on an account in the main settings menu.

    K9 doesn’t use google play services for push notifications, so it will never be instant. You can have it check every 15 minutes or up to 24hrs depending on how you need to balance battery vs checking. I have mine set to an hour (I think that is the default?)

    You should also check the app’s battery settings and make sure background usage is enabled or battery saver is off.
