I picked this phone from Backmarket for 70 USD. I cleaned it up and started debloating and slightly degoogling it. The bootloader is locked unfortunately, but you can debug this phone.

It runs very smooth for being 7 years old and running on Android 11 (upgraded from Android 9).

Wifi calling and texting from Delta chat works, i even tried the video calling and suprisingly, it worked really well too. Now i just gotta try out the data.

Apps being used: (everything except from Trip Plans and Grab are downloaded from Droid-ify)

Trip Plans: this is the app i gotta use to communicate with my group on my trip. This and Grab are the only "Google" apps on here.

Its the only one I can press a button and set it to a time IN X mins/hrs. I need a combination of a timer (ring in x minutes) and an alarmclock (wake me up at XX:XX) I want "wake me up in X minutes" This was only possible with NFC Tools Pro and NFC Alarm Clock. I dont use the NFC functionality for either of them, but setting the alarm by touching an NFC Tag where I plug in my phone could be very handy

Do you have a harder time waking up if its only the traditional alarm? (XX:XX) the minute time is for extra security?

In my experience I get grumpy and am not as fresh, if I sleep longer than 8 hours.

For weekends or holidays I use it like that, then the duration of sleep is more important than the waking-up point. I could do rough math in my head and then look at the "Next Alarm in..." but like that its so much easier. One click and its set.

I also have three more alarm shortcuts to set it to the three different trains I take for work.
