Any software recommendations and stuff? I mainly want to use it for streaming videos and playing ps2 emulator, not so much emulating but just to try it out. Anti virus stuff, things in this realm- been using banana phone for years haven’t had android since high school.

No one uses an antivirus on their phone.

Check out stremio. It's great for pirating movies and tv show. If you're in the US. I'd invest in real debrid($3 a month) which converts torrents to regular links so it doesn't look like you're torrenting to your ISP

Jerboa is my favorite lemmy app

Trunks is my favorite mastodon app

https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/Hypatia-3.12-312-1.apk is an option. But yea a bit overkill, still it does not take much to run

I second the stremio + realdebrid recommendation, but with the caveat that it's pretty bad for the torrent network, since it doesn't seed... I use it, but I make sure to seed everything I download like crazy on my PC's torrent client
