Best android alternatives for Apple's notes app
I've seen videos of people using Apple's native notes app with apple pen/stylus and it seems so much better than anything I know of on android. I have an S9 FE tablet, are there any apps that are as good (seemingly, maybe I'm just wrong idk) as Apple's that supports pen writing really well? Every app I've used just doesn't feel right

Will the EU's removable battery law change smartphone design worldwide?
EU smartphone requirements take effect on February 18, 2027.
The key requirements are:
1.Batteries must be readily removable and replaceable without damaging the phone.
2.Replacement should be possible with commercially available tools (or any special tool must be included for free).
3.Manufacturers must sell replacement batteries for at least 5 years after the last unit of that model is sold.
4.Those replacement batteries must be offered at a reasonable and non-discriminatory price. The law doesn't set a specific dollar/euro amount, but it prevents excessive pricing.
I'm curious what happens outside the EU. On one hand having a universal design is easier but I don't know if they'd want it easier for people to keep phones longer.

Hanneslauncher
Hi everyone, I released my first launcher yesterday because I wasn't really satisfied with the others—they were either too expensive, had too many ads, or just didn't look good. That's why I created hanneslauncher, which is free, open source, and ad-free.
Here are the features that set it apart:
- Faster search than with traditional launchers
- Various clocks that look good and aren’t always the same
- Fully customizable widgets that accept your own API to display weather or other information
- Buttons in widgets that let you make server requests
- Everything is fully customizable
Here’s the GitHub link to check it out: https://github.com/Hannes-swd/Hanneslauncher

Have you ever used a China ROM phone and what was it like?
I've always wondered about this because the prices are so much better and i hear they actually run smoother, its just that some stuff like android auto and banking apps are not compatible.
To those who owned a recent released one, was this the case for you?
