New motos are just too big for my baby hands so I got myself an s23 for a steal, but I’m finding that I miss some of the functionality that I used to have, and that some features are just annoying on this phone.
What kind of qol apps do you galaxy-havers use? Specifically are there any that let me use more than just double tap and long press on the power button for quick actions?
Note: I don’t know if I can jailbreak it and keep my carrier. I use Google fi so it seems like breaking it would break everything? But I have no idea :3
The 4a could stop receiving updates any day now because it’s minimum support lifecycle is due to end this month. GrapheneOS will only offer updates for phones still supported by Google, which means you could be on outdated security patches very quickly.
If you want to use GrapheneOS, a better choice (if you can afford it) would be to stretch to the 6a, because that was from the generation when Google started guaranteeing a minimum of 5 years of support. This means that the end of its minimum support lifecycle is 4 years from now so it will be secure for a lot longer.
Here is the GrapheneOS support chart for reference.
Alternatively, you could go with an alternative privacy based operating system like CalyxOS, iodéOS or even LineageOS as they all offer longer term support for the 4a and other older devices. You won’t get the additional firmware updates when manufacturer support runs out, but you will at least have recent Android security patches. There’s also DivestOS, but I haven’t used that myself so I can’t recommend it with the same confidence as the other three.
