battery life started to absolutely suck. Couldn't solve it using "normal" means. Got so tired of the battery drain with the screen off that I now went with the nuclear option.

1. Factory reset phone
2. Remove/disable *all* spyware (all apps)
3. Disable *all* bloat/spyware
4. Disable *all* system apps I don't recognize/understand the use of
5. Install only apps (except for Play Store, Play Services, Camera and Spotify)

I have similar setup, but I use Florisboard for keyboard. The Futo seems to have a weird license of it's own, and I'm not sure if it is FLOSS:

github.com/futo-org/android-ke

opensource.org/licenses?ls=Fut

@Mehrad "FLOSS" as in: All of these are Open Source, most of them FLOSS. I don't really care wether FUTO uses a non-FLOSS license. The keyboard is very good. I prefer real FLOSS of course, but I make exceptions when it makes sense.

I used Fossify keyboard for a while, but it really wasn't good enough for me.

I couldn't find it either, that was when I tried to find the repo and checked the license.

Of course a major point of FLOSS is freedom of choice. By the same extension, users should be free to use non-free tools if/when they see fit.

I use GBoard and FlorisBoard. They each have their own issues, and that's why I don't exclusively use FlorisBoard. When those issues get fixed/implemented, I'll go all-in.
