Question default apps or alternatives?
just installed lineageOS on my new phone, and im wondering if its worth it to switch/change the default apps (camera app, sms app etc) to something like fossify's stuff? thanks

I was using Fossify phone, SMS and contacts before I switched to LineageOS. I just like them more

Most useful for me was the keyboard, the default AOSP one doesn't have CJK and clipboard history, changed to heliboad since it looks the same (material you colours)

The keyboard was also my first thought when I saw this post. Iām gonna throw Futo keyboard into the ring. It has pretty much every feature that I want and is completely disconnected from everything.

oh yeah no clipboard history is rough but for me the default keyboard is too nice to give up (even though i used heliboard on my s21)

I see no difference between the two, like at all?You get the same shape, font and colour of the keyboard but more settings

Lineage core apps and Fossify aren't all that different. Neither has advanced control, HDR or AI photo features. You will be better off keeping the apps as they are.
