MiXplorer - https://mixplorer.com/

A file explorer allowing for me to transfer files over the network. When Solid Explorer suddenly didn't seem to want to do network transfers anymore (likely because Windows updated something), I waited for that app to update to fix the issue. It never did. I found that MiXplorer was a good alternative that transfers files over the network just fine and works nice and fast as well. The interface takes a bit to get used to (meaning it isn't the same as Solid Explorer) but the app is certainly worth using. Importantly, I can transfer files over the network without issue again.

Notably, this app is free to download (from XDA) however the Google Play version is not free. The Google Play version (which supports development) is a one time paid fee.

Square Home.

I know the Windows Phone experiment failed but it was my first smartphone that I bought and not just inherited my dad's work-iPhone when it became deprecated. I really love the "live tile" type home screen and Square Home improves on it as well, instead of just carbon copying it.

Other than that, the FUTO keyboard / voice input and Grayjay, although these three technically offer a lifelong free testing period, similar to WinRAR, but even less obnoxious because they don't even remind you that they want you to pay for them.

the Niagara launcher is still the only app I've bought on Play Store, and I've been very happy with it for maybe 5-6 years now

Fx file manager. if you do file management locally or want to access SMB share content , cloud, bluetooth etc, this app ia awesome.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I love it but I can feel it getting neglected with each Android update.
The worst for me was transferring a video to a computer using the FX Web feature and discovering it silently truncated the video..... when it was already too late.....

I bought solid explorer at the dawn of android and still use it to this day

Minimalist phone Launcher that helps to use addictive apps less. And overall a boring home that demotivates you to use your phone.

Plenty of those for free on F-Droid & IzzyOnDroid.
