Simple Gallery and Simple Filebrowser are awesome! Also KDE Connect, Davx, Catima and Etar, my favourite calendar app!

I wouldn't want my boss to know how much time I'm spending using Feudal Tactics.

I haven't explored the other options too much yet but 90% of the time, my pad is running Librera FD https://f-droid.org/packages/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/ which I think you have to pay money for at the Google store. It's a great document reader and I really like the musician mode.

Insular and IceRaven to name a few.

What was your decision process in choosing insular above shelter?

How seamless is freezing and unfreezing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I chose it after someone recommended it to me to run banking apps while rooted. Has worked fine for all my payment and banking apps so far. Haven't tried freezing and unfreezing as they work without doing these steps.
