Great OP. The only thing I'd add is a note in the keyboard section that Google Keyboard usually is not the default keyboard that comes with (non-nexus) phones, and that it is good, not bad like the OEM keyboards.

And a link to Google Keyboard on the play store (not a paid shill for Google, just like GK).

Any recommendations for a speed test app that is the least ad-choked? I'm looking to switch networks and I want to do a side by side test in the places I go most.

Similarly, recommendations that would tell me what tower/band I'm connected to? I'm using cellmapper which seems fine, but I'm open to suggestions.

This seems cool. It would require me paying for a Google Drive upgrade but it might be time for that anyway. Still open to other suggestions.

Also, is there an easy way to view which GPM albums I bought through GPM, so I can download those ones? The rest is all stuff I uploaded from my own mp3 library, which is already pretty well organized.

If you have access to an always on computer, Plex or Subsonic can host your own library.

What's the go to as close to stock launcher as possible? I really like the default launcher, but the fact that my 4a 5g can have the same amount of app icons as my non-XL pixel 2 is absurd and might be the thing that pushes me over to a custom one. I assume there isn't a way to do this without replacing the launcher.

I tried Lawnchair and it seems to do what I want (I'm sure Nova would have too). Thanks!

I don't know if I'm just stupid or what, but I cannot figure out how to view photo albums other people have shared with me in Google Photos, other than from the notification when they add a photo to it. Anybody know?

On the phone the only way I could find to do it was search for "Sharing"

Has anyone else noticed that PocketCasts works strangely with Android 12? It still adds new episodes to my now playing, but it does not move the show to the top of the podcasts screen or put the red badge on the show. It's a fresh install (of PC and Android), so I don't think it is just me, but I dunno.

100% agree with all of that. We used to use gpay all the time until they hosed it up

My Gboard misses a lot of things. Literally EVERY time I'm trying to type character it thinks I'm putting in charcuterie. Come on Google, you harvest all my data, you know I'm never using that word.

On the contrary, you use that word all the time! Before you type character! AI is the future!

Could it be due to RCS on on your 4a 5g and off on the 7? Total speculation

I'm a former Google Podcasts fan trying to find alternatives...

Podcast Addict isn't downloading new episodes in the background. It's retrieving new episodes in the background, on the interval I set, but just not downloading them.

Turned off battery optimization and all that jazz. Any ideas?

Is there a setting that it waits for WiFi?

Any recommendations for an AR app to measure distances that won't sell all my data? Fine with paying a small amount.
