Yes, adblockers, sleep software and firewall apps are like gold.

My phone is a few years old now, but it gets a free wipe every 6 months. It empties junk files, and keeps it running merrily along.

When it arrived, the very first thing I did was unlock the bootloader, add root access and superuser rights, then install a custom rom. Then Adblock Plus and a firewall program. Then I installed XPosed, because some of the modules on there are great for blocking Google and other intrusions. I don't use Facebook.

For me it is a tool, and even having the phone ring is an imposition for me on most days. I use GPS a lot, and Sky Safari runs well on it. Other than that, weather, parcel tracking and news are my main go-to apps.
