My uncle has been using the same smartphone for years (a Moto G 1st gen), that thing is basically unusable and the poor old man can't even check out Facebook or make/receive calls without it lagging like hell. He refuses to replace it, though. I'm visiting them next week and I've been thinking about maybe improving his experience a little by installing a custom rom and replacing some apps with their lite versions. The thing is, other than Messenger/Facebook Lite, I have no experience with the rest:
>Facebook Lite >Messenger Lite >Instagram Lite >Google Assistant Go >Spotify Lite >Twitter Lite >Skype Lite >Google Go >YouTube Go >Google Maps Go >Gmail Go >LinkedIn Lite >Uber Lite >GO Weather Lite >etc
Are any of them worth using or should I keep the original apps? Anyone care to share their experience with those?
Tell your uncle to just stop using those garbage social media apps and if he wont, tell him to kill himself. You people and your social media bullshit have ruined the internet forever i hope you die

>wiping his phone to satisfy your autism >it'll likely still be slow as shit because it's a fucking moto g from 2013 Just get him an identical looking Moto G5, install all the same apps, login to the same accounts, put all the icons in the same place, and move the SIM card over.

Most of those apps are just wrappers of their web versions anyway.

I stopped using Messenger Lite because it re-activates your FB account while the normal Messenger doesn't.

kek literally still using my Moto G first gen 6 years with this POS, just ordered a Mi Mix 3
Ryder Walker
That's a lot of work when you could just buy him any current 50€ smartphone that will outperform his Moto G.

if you uncle doesn't want to change, let him be. It's like forcing a morbid obese man to diet even if he knows he should do it.
Anthony Cook
it's interesting because all the light apps are available in the USA but not available in the UK really makes you think
Joseph Jackson
Why? The old man should have the liberty to use whatever he wants.

Go get spanked you dumb sperg

Just buy him something cheap with 3gb ram and vanilla Android, sd625 or better, b&h has had moto x on sale for $199 which might be familiar
You won't be able to test the rom in enough time to see if it's actually stable and might just grief him

Not OP here and I get it, but guys think about it for a second, its 6 years and we cant stand this guy using the same phone and you all agree on its obsolesence. Thats crazy compared to other stuff we invest in and use on day-to-day bases. Still go my bike from the 80'
Fdroid Fennec, strip out pictures on 4g/lte, add ublock and a extension for facebook chat then go to m.facebook.com, same with others social networks craps.
Keep a bunch of mp3 for music.

Dude i had that phone, changed it last year in November for a Moto G5 Plus. It's completely usable, just flash Lineage OS.
Replace YouTube Go with SkyTube. Don't know or care about the rest. FB/MSG Lite are both good.
Camden Reyes
First step is to install lineageos

I haven't had my coffee yet either, cheers!

Well when has there been any huge advances in bike tech in the past decade? In comparison phones are only now starting to plateau in terms of performance improvements and additional features and because of this app devs cram more and more to set themselves apart. Yes it sucks that you have to keep changing phones every few years but I think it is slowly improving especially when you consider apple's slowing sales
Christopher Carter
there have been huge advances, you just can't afford it yet
Hydraulic shifting and brakes being the obvious one
Joshua Roberts
blog about it on your facebook feed you fucking normalfag cancer

Use alternatives from F-Droid instead. Also, consider going without Gapps. It really helps older models.
Installed forecastoe and geometric weather Forecastie doesn't seem to have the option to add more than one location Geometric weather can't do both at same time in the widget. You cant add 2 widgets with separate cities. They both show the primary selected in the app.
Any other foss weather apps?
