Eternity is simply the best, no questions asked.
Used Boost for Reddit, then when the API shenanigans happened I moved to Lemmy. I tried a few apps until Boost was working with Lemmy and I was happy. A few months back I started to notice some unfixed bugs, so I moved to Infinity and am happy again.
Just WebUI. I prefer landscape mode, so this fits me well.
I hate typing in portrait mode, and landscape also fits eye vision better. Plus tabs work far better than switching apps. I wish it could be more desktop like. Really, KDE Plasma + Wayland + maliit-keyboard would be nice combo to have on a phone. That's what I use on my 2-in-1.
But anyway, Android could at least have proper taskbar. I mean, I have this in 3-button navigation, surely it could fit more icons for background apps (assuming it wouldn't ~~kill~~ optimize them):
Yes, the text, it's a Ulefone. There's far worse bugs.
A ulefone user?!! Wow
I was using the Ulefone Vienna in 2016-2020, before I went to a xiaomi mi 10. Can't say that it was the best phone (took me really long to figure put how to root android 6 when kingoroot didnt work anymore), but had somewhat decent specs, epsecially for its price (~120€ lol).
Armor 24. Not many options when you want a huge (not just large) battery (85.14Wh - 22Ah @ 3.87V), manual band-mode selection (also available on some Motorola devices), headphone jack and MicroSD card slot.
Oh, there's also a separate programmable button. I've set it to:
Single-click: Open Termux (terminal emulator)
Double-click: Open Audio recorder
Long-press: Toggle regular (weak) flashlight
Haha ulefone has some unique configurations:)
I think I prefer it that they took that path, at least they offer something interesting (would be way cooler if they used snapdragon cpus, but ok).😄
Wait, armor 24? A relative of mine had a ulefone armor in 2016, maybe armor 4 or 5 or 6, huh, time flies (at that time the fancy thing that phone had was probably the slightly bigger than average battery).
Edit: They had a ulefone power, not an armor, now I remembered:)
would be way cooler if they used snapdragon cpus
I specifically looked for MediaTek since that band mode selector is part of their software, MediaTek Engineer Mode. Most manufacturers remove it because there's things you probably shouldn't play around with, but smaller manufacturers just leave it there. Some of these MTK phones in the past even let you change IMEI with AT commands in it (without root), I don't know if that's still available at least on some phones.
Oh oke, thats interesting, didn't know that😄
Lol something about the image you linked is crashing Boost
I mostly use Eternity.
Sync (Pro) has been my go-to since my brother referred me to it 10 years ago for Reddit. As soon as it was available for Lemmy I grabbed it. There is a stigma surrounding it, of course, as ad-free is a premium/subscription feature. I truly don't give a shit. I spend my money on far worse things.

Mobile Browser and Web UI
(Mostly using Tor, because I don't like Lemmy to have my IP address)
Is this /c/asklemmyapps?
(just kidding, but the same question got asked 6 hours ago)
Back when it was still working, I was using Sync for reddit so now that I'm on Lemmy, I've been using this. Haven't really tried other apps to be honest
Sync without a doubt.
I mostly use sync, even though I am not in love with it. I also have connect. Which I think is foss. Been thinking about trying a new app to see if it hits better.
Jerboa for me
How is Jerboa these days? I used it during the Great Reddit Exodus days, but it was buggy as shit lol
It's good, they sorted most of the bugs to the point now where, as my daily I have no real issues with it, and us def my fav in layout and presentation of everything.
