      That’s one of the reasons I had for changing to Evolution X rom. Also my battery lifetime doubled (Mi 11)

      Would recommend looking into custom roms and rooting if you really want to pimp her phone ;)

        I’ve dropped MIUI for the stock ROM UI and the Lineage with microg OS …my Poco x3 NFC got great! …until my banking app started blocking non official android systems …

          That’s no biggi, look into SafetyNet fix, MagiskHide Props config and Shamiko (they’re all Magisk modules)

              Download Magisk from github and just flash it like you did your custom rom. You need to redo this after each rom update/reflashing your recovery. Afterwards open the Magisk app and follow the onscreen instructions (install via root)

              Although this method of installing Magisk is not recommended anymore it’s the only one that worked for me. Following the regular instructions always ends in a bootloop/non responsive display for me

      I haven’t thought about different launchers for years. What launcher do you want to go to and why?

        I use Niagara on my phone. It’s pretty simple and basic. There’s a customizable directory type app listing on the home page and some widgets. No app drawer due to the listing, but there’s a search function that will even find your hidden and disabled apps if you need them.

        On my tablet, I use nova (paid), because of the huge variety of features and it works well. I’m probably going to switch soon, due to data concerns, but it’s awesome if you don’t mind that sort of thing.

        Recently someone in another thread mentioned Niagara, it’s different but easy to navigate one handed on a large phone.

      I got a note 10 pro as well.

      First thing I did after I got it was to install LineageOS. It’s so much better.
