[Motorola Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] bronkish:
My phone is pretty barren as far as installed apps go. A lot of what I install is utility because apps can't be trusted, nor can the manufacturers. Because I don't use Google apps, I have to find alternatives for any functionality prevented by this choice; namely backups. In any case, lemme introduce my question by providing example.

My launcher choice has changed because Lightning no longer did it for me on android 10. I bought Nova a long time ago and went with it for a while on this edge, but, am currently using lawnchair and I'll stick with it. It's got what I need, specifically the ability to put my 'app drawer' into tabs or folders and to hide apps. So I have 3 folders: fun, office, and utility. Also, the blur background is pretty kickass.

In Fun: I put the camera in there, gallery, stuff like that. I have installed 2 games: simple solitaire collection - I play klondike in the mornings, when I'm, you know - TMI - loosing a pound. I also installed smash hit - so I can smash glass when I have a minute. If I think of it... I installed elementary because I'm a nerd for the periodic table of elements. Also in the fun folder is Infinity for browsing reddit, but, I rarely do, because, well, fuk'n reddit. I installed musicolet to play the tunes. It put a play button in with the tiles and I dig it.

In the Office tab I put messaging, FX, which is the file manager I have been using since, well, ever. I use acalendar+ and it's in the office folder, too. I use calendar import/export to get any backup ics file back into the system. I use Aegis for that two-factor auth we need. It's fine. For browsing from my phone, if I do it - I use firefox focus because bromite kept losing my bookmarks. Pffft. I use keepass2android because I sometimes need passwords and I have been using keepassxc since ever. You should, too. I use Nextcloud so I can take a pic in the field and it's on my box at home. Nextcloud is pretty awesome - I put my keepass passwords file into the shared nextcloud folder so I can have passwords wherever, too. I have sms backup and restore to maintain the call log and restore it when I flip roms, or start from scratch. Geometric weather is installed too, for the weather. It's opensource and has that pretty, so, I dig it. I use silence for texting and it's in the office folder, too.

In the Utility folder: 3C all in one, for backups which I rarely use and to tweak the cache on the sdcard. Other stuff as necessary or out of curiosity. Of course, adaway is installed for those ads (I also have pi-hole on my lan). I use App Manager to block trackers and whatnot, it's a cool app. I installed Aurora store, f-droid, and sometimes aptiode. No gapps on my phone. Since I build, I use fraction calculator plus on ocassion. I installed quicktiles because it's kickass, and I still use SDmaid because it's kickass, too. FOr reasons. Of course, magisk, and busybox pro.

As I wrote, I don't install a lot of apps. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't really look around for apps to install for whatever function/purpose. I sometimes have other apps installed: mupdf, newpipe, notebook (zoho), simple notes, protonmail, vlc, voice recorder, a whip (hilarious), I usually install and use AFWall+, sometimes I use davx5, and maybe an estimate generator. If I'm on stock, I definately install edxposed for gravitybox.

What sort of apps do you have installed and why?
