Using the FP5 with Android 13. Any hidden Settings or stuff that I should need to know about its Android? Should I switch to LineageOS instead? Is there a way for me to have all my Apps on my Homescreen instead of tucked away in that hidden menu if you swipe up? Is there a way to modify what is seen on the button row of the Homescreen? Normally I’d like to have 3 fixed App icons there but there are 5 which I can’t remove and they keep changing. Is there a way to remove the calender widget or search bar in the top of the home screen?

    I mentioned in a post on my phone that the battery drain was bad. /u/sentientbubble shared this link https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp5-battery-life/100561 which led me to disabling 5g. That drastically improved battery drain for me.

    Through the Android settings, I also turned off fast charge and set it to not charge higher than 80% (both things which should prolong battery life).

    To move things from the app menu to the main screen, hold down on the icon on the app menu until you get the chance to move it. Drag it up and over to the screen you want it on.

      I turned off fast charge already, because I typically charge overnight anyway. I will keep the rest in mind if I have some battery drain issues, but I don’t have some right now. Thank you for the recommendations!

      Yeah, I already did that. But I have literally hundreds of apps, I want them all on 2-3 home screens. Isn’t there an easier solution?
