Got Home Up on One UI 7 finally.
You can make custom animations now which might be too much customization

Anyone else have this "Android System SafetyCore" installed?
Is it safe to uninstall? I don't like the sound of it.

What cloud storage are you all using?
Finally gave in and ordered the s25 ultra. Been watching videos on it and checking reddit since it dropped. Team iPhone for 13 years but want to try something different. Hoping for the best but if not I’ll return within the 30 days 
Phone arrived I'm rocking with this. A few questions:
What's the best wallet to use? Samsung or Google?
What's the best option to backup your entire phone to the cloud? I think there's two options like above.
Is there a way to get my saved passwords from iPhone to this? Smart switch did not do passwords.

I use both Samsung and Google Wallet. Google for online purchases. Samsung for tap to pay since it seems to work better.
Samsung Cloud to backup your phone. Google Drive is better for everything else.
If you use a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden then just sign in on the new phone. If they're in Safari export them in a Mac to Chrome or one of those password managers. If they're in iCloud then I don't know, you may be able to export them from a Mac.
Thanks breh
One more thing..can't seem to find an ad blocker for chrome. Should I just switch browsers?
Adguard app can block ads on your whole phone.
Samsung Internet and Brave have built in adblock tho.

Android’s youthful new design language just dropped
Everyone pretend like we didn’t just see it all last week.

Google just announced a bold new look for Android, for real this time. After a false start last week when someone accidentally published a blog post too early (oh, Google!), the company is formally announcing the design language known as Material Three Expressive. It takes the colorful, customizable Material You introduced with Android 12 in an even more youthful direction, full of springy animations, bold fonts, and vibrant color absolutely everywhere. It’ll be available in an update to the Android 16 beta later this month.
Support for the Live Updates feature that Google introduced in an earlier Android 16 beta is nestled among the new design flourishes. It’s Android’s take on Apple’s Live Activities, showing time-sensitive updates in a persistent notification bar. Unlike Apple, Android limits its use to food delivery, navigation, and rideshare apps.
1/3Live Updates appear on the always on display, which could be super handy for tracking a delivery. Image: Google
Today’s announcement gives us a good look at how those notifications will appear on the lockscreen, always on display, in a status bar at the top of the screen, and on the notification shade. It looks pretty handy. Quick settings will get an update too, allowing users to resize and rearrange tiles in another echo of iOS.
But the splashy new design language is the update’s centerpiece. App designers have new icon shapes, type styles, and color palettes at their disposal. Animations are designed to feel more “springy,” with haptics to underline your actions when you swipe a notification out of existence.

Google’s blog post and documentation for developers insist that this isn’t just a fresh coat of paint; the new design elements help guide users’ attention better. The bright purples and pinks featured throughout the company’s concept images certainly do the trick, and help boost the new design’s appeal with a younger demographic.
Teenagers are particularly fond of their iPhones, especially in the US, and Google seems hopeful that a fresh design will attract a younger user base. In its previously leaked, now-public blog post, Google says that up to 87 percent of 18–24-year-olds prefer expressive design like the one the company is debuting today. And while it’s definitely eye-catching, I have a feeling it’ll take a little more than this to turn the teens onto Android.
What's our thoughts on the pixel? I've only owned a Nexus 6P from Google and have had about eight galaxy devices starting with the very first one. Don't love the bloatware on Sammy devices and I LOVED my 6p but I hate the name "pixel" and have heard from several reviewers they don't quite live up to the legend that was the 6P (dual speakers 
)
I'm going to be in the better for a new phone soon and I'm thinking of getting a foldable, probably gonna be between the pixel and Samsung unless the government starts allowing Huawei and/or Xiaomi to cook
