Which qualities would you like to improve?

I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.

Built in stuff:

Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed
Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule
Flip to Shhh is great for... shushing. When flipped.
Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I'm actively awaiting interaction.
Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.

Nova Launcher and Solid Explorer are both closed source

Best QoL feature IMHO. My husband and bestie can get through with calls, everyone else gets called back.

Do you know that nova got sketchy?

You can remove internet access so you don't give your data.

Didn't Solid get sketchy too? I remember feeling obligated to migrate to Material Files.

I did not! Thank you!

Since you already have a pixel you should seriously look at grapheneOS.

Are you me? That's such a similar setup.
