Just thought I'd get a discussion going, regarding how people have personalised their S21 and see if anyone gets any ideas
๐ก ๏ผ
The way I have customised my S21 is:
๏ผ An official Samsung S21 Clear Case with a Kickstand on the back of the case; ideal for viewing your phone either in a portrait or landscape position ๐.
๏ผ Dark mode. Everything.
๏ผ Uninstalled/disabled apps I don't need on the phone via the apps section in settings. If this was not possible to do so, then I would use Minimal ADB and Fastboot to work around this ๐.
๏ผ Take off mobile data when not using it and switched off the setting, where switching to mobile data automatically occurs, due to poor Wi-Fi. I did this, because it saves a TON of battery and my phone never feels hot now ๐.
๏ผ Dolby Atmos enabled, as well as creating a personalised sound profile ๐ง ๐.
๏ผ Customised my button layout in the quick panel, as well as using Good Lock to make the button grid bigger ๐.
๏ผ In addition to that, installing the Good Lock modules: Home Up, MultiStar and QuickStar.
> Home Up: For making my home screen 4x4 and modifying my folder size to be 4x5 (I only have one home page and three apps pages, as I do not like clutter ๐งน).
> MultiStar: For holding down the recents key, in order to quickly create an app in split-screen mode.
> QuickStar: See point above regarding button grid size ๐.
๏ผ Installed apps that I need to use and setting them up, totalling a storage currently at 52.98GB (which fluctuates, due to cache) on the 256GB model (the actual size that you can utilise though is 224GB I believe, due to critical system apps and processes).
๏ผ Utilising Device Care to manage my deep sleeping apps, as well as apps that never sleep. Moreover, managing battery setting options such as, enabling Super Fast Charging and Fast Charging, turning off Wireless Charging and setting auto-optimisation settings for when the phone should restart, etc.. ๐ด
๏ผ Turning off adaptive brightness and gesture features, as I like using buttons + I have heard it is better for battery life ๐.
๏ผ Using WQHD+, Adaptive Display with Vivid Image Quality, Enhanced Video Brightness and Eye Comfort at max all the time ๐๐ฑ๐คณ.
๏ผ Using Edge Panels.
๏ผ VoLTE is on and using Samsung Pay.
