Good to know, thank you for the heads up.

I'm not sure if this fits but here is mine:

I want to get away from Samsung but the "Sound Assistant" app let's me control the volume of every app, kind of like a mixer. Sometimes an app doesn't have a mute option, I can set the volume of that app to 0 without effecting the volume of whatever music I'm listening to.

I also like to listen to my local police scanner and music at the same time. I can set the volume of the scanner app low enough to not really bother the music but loud enough that if something happens I can still hear it and pause the music.

I can't believe Samsung and their app is the only way, but I haven't found an alternative.

Pretty decent time killer if you like TD games

Retro games

This one because nostalgia

40 Puzzles

This came with some linux distro and I was able to find it on f-droid. Some of the games are better than others. Lots to choose from.

Any of these

Install BiglyBT from fdroid. That is a torrent downloader for android. It has a search function to find torrents. Or you can search torrents using any number of websites.

As for quality and size.... At this point in your journey you'll have to sort and filter manually for those.

Also, you won't find many guides for android and everything does lean heavy on PC. So if you can afford it eventually get yourself a cheap laptop, it'll make things much easier for you.

Not enough people have seen Strange Days... Werid af movie. I need to re-watch it

It kinda defeats the purpose of open ear but try wearing earplugs.

That's what I do when I use loud tools with my shockz

I like to sit around and tie knots. It keeps my hands busy and I feel like it's something that could actually be of use too. First Class Amateur on YouTube is a great way to start.

Ropes, strings, cords, whatever you want to call it, can all be found just about anywhere and are pretty inexpensive

There is also the wide world of weaving/braiding bracelets and things. Google Macrame and boondoggle knots
