Any software recommendations and stuff? I mainly want to use it for streaming videos and playing ps2 emulator, not so much emulating but just to try it out. Anti virus stuff, things in this realm- been using banana phone for years haven’t had android since high school.
youtube vanced, firefox with ublock, i like to go in the developer settings and turn off the window animations making the phone feel a bit faster. also personally recommend niagara launcher.
Wait, is Vanced back online? I recall it having been abandoned by the developers, just like NewPipe
kinda, should have specified it's revanced which works just the same, just a bit more of a pain to install cause you gotta get a specific version of the youtube app and then use their patcher. worth it though!
