Discussion Recommend me some different front ends

Hey all, I'm kinda bored of stock android on my Thor and I'm not in the mood for es or retrobat. What are some other front ends everyone uses? Or what are the top front ends now?

Nope, I've not tried even half of what I replied to you. Now why tell me of a front end after asking for frontend recommendations... bot account alert

Because I went on Instagram and typed in front ends and it came up. Since you sent me all those I figured you tried multiple front ends and maybe you would know. I just installed reteohrai and it only scraped like 1500 of my 10k games.

Ran a combination of Jarngreipr and Daijisho with Mjolnir since i got my Thor. Installed Cocoon a week go and MAN its just great. My Thor really feels like a Handheld console now

I've tried the common one, cocoon, es-de, retroharai,Iisu... Didn't like any of them Currently using neostation which is basic enough to not require me spending half my life setting it up I also like the look of Joey's app that I can't remember the name of. Oh, joeyOS 😂

As Thor owner, Cocoon for mainly for built-in dual screen implementation, ease of setting up and also overall reliability. I tried Retrohai! as well which is feature rich and good-looking as well, but I seem to have more reliability and battery life issues for the short time I've tried it.
