I’m planning to get a Pixel 8 this month after using only iPhones since my first iPhone in ~2010. I used to be a big Apple fan, so I have a good understanding of iOS, good iOS apps, etc, from years of Apple blogs, podcasts, etc. I have nowhere near the same level of understanding of Android. For instance, I was just watching a video recommending a particular app and it mentioned ABD permissions, which I had to go look up. I’d love any recommendations y’all might have for good, ideally not boring resources that I can use to get a good understanding of the Android system, power user concepts, good apps, etc. Thanks!
I’ve never had an app ask ABD permissions. The only time I’ve ever done anything involving ABD it was when rooting a phonem , and android has come a long way so I don’t really feel the need to root anymore . So I wouldn’t really worry about it myself. I do recommend using nova launcher to replace your home screen if you like customization. Other than that you can find an app to do anything without any special permissions other than ad blockers .
