What personal tweaks or settings do you apply after a fresh install?

I was hoping some members can chime in and list the things they do after a fresh install, such as settings, apps, fav mods, hacks or speed tweaks.
Here's some of the things I typically do after a fresh install...
In Settings > Buttons, change around the way the menu and home buttons work. This option is available on a CyanogenMod ROM.
In Settings > Developer Options, select the Advanced Reboot option so options appear in the power menu for rebooting into recovery or bootloader. This option is available on a CyanogenMod ROM.
In Settings > Developer Options, make sure USB debugging option is checked.
In Settings > Security, make sure Unknown sources is checked, so I can install apps other than PlayStore apps.
In Settings > Storage > USB computer connection, enable MTP option
Install F-Droid for Free and Open Source Software available to Android
Install Adaway, which is available on F-Droid
Install Nova Launcher

2 - Change Date (settings -> general management -> date and time -> turn off auto-update time -> set the date for 8 days ago)
3 - Check Software Updates (settings -> software update -> check updates manually)
4 - Reboot
5 - Change Date Again (settings -> general management -> date and time -> set the date for 10 days ago)
* it's probable that the date will be again the current date, but don't fear, set it back to 10 days ago
6 - OEM Unlock (settings -> developer options -> check if the OEM unlock toggle is present -> else, go back and forth between the general settings tab and developer options and if needed use "close all" from recents and reopen settings again).

1 - Pull SIMs. Developer Mode enabled. Ensure 'Auto Update System' is disabled.
2 - Changed date to 4 weeks ago (turn off 'Automatic Date and Time')
3 - Check Software Updates (Check updates manually). Ensure 'Download Updates Automatically ' is disabled
4 - Reboot. Check for OEM switch in Developer Options
5 - Check date again (it's likely that the date will be current date, but if it is, just set it back to 3 days before last date change)
6 - Check OEM Unlock toggle is present. If not, go back and forth between the general settings tab and developer options and if needed use "close all" from recents and reopen settings again.
7 - If not working, undo all the above. Restart and try again.
8 - If it does work...celebrate - you can flash custom binaries and custom ROMs
9 - Get TWRP flashed through Odin
This has worked for me on latest BTU firmware for A520f and for several other users recently.
Try it (a few times if needed) for your A7
Fingers crossed

Ah well. At least we tried. You can always try again after a reboot. Ensuring everything that is an auto-update is off

What are the updates? Total confusion for me...

I jut got a new update on my Pixel 2XL.
It is in the "Google Play system update" required restart.
What are "Google play system updates"?
Under "Settings" - "Security" - "Security Updates" there is the System update.
Under "Settings" - "Security" - "Google Play system update" there is the something else.
Based on the HELP:
See which Android version you have
Open your phone's Settings app.
Near the bottom, tap System And then Advanced And then System update.
See your "Android version" and "Security patch level."
Get the latest Android updates available for you
When you get a notification, open it and tap the update action.
If you cleared your notification or your device has been offline:
Open your phone's Settings app.
Near the bottom, tap System and then Advanced and then System update.
You'll see your update status. Follow any steps on the screen.
Get security updates and Google Play system updates
Most system updates and security patches happen automatically. To check if an update is available:
Open your device’s Settings app.
Tap Security.
Check for an update:
To check if a security update is available, tap Security update.
To check if a Google Play system update is available, tap Google Play system update.
Follow any steps on the screen.
So...
Security updates = System updates
Play System update = Security updates
???
Total confusion...
Now I got an update but there is no changelog.
How can I know what was installed, changed?

When Google announces updates they post the list of fixes along with it. They don't send a changelog to the device when sending an update.

How to disable stock rom updates without root?

So i got A29 build and i dont want any updates. I have turned of aito night update, i have turned off auto system update in developer options but i still keep getting proposals to install an update like twice a day. That is annoying. How can i kill an app so taht would stop bugging me? Thanks!
I am sure I do not know the best ways, but here are the ways I have written down so far (I too, never want any updates). Looks like 1,2 and 3 require no root, and 6 is just a good point to remember:
1 - check "Software Update" screen: (Settings > Software Update)
2 - check “Automatic system updates” screen:
a - Settings > About Phone > Software Information > tap "Buld Number" 7 to 10 times to enable "Developer Mode"
b - Settings > Developer options > Automatic system updates
3 - purchase and sideload the Package Disabler Pro app (disables OTA forever)
4 - on AmazonKindle, deleting the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip will prevent updates since their signatures can't be verified by the device
5 - chown root and chmod 755 the /cache partition can do the same as above (but will it affect recovery?)
6 - while you work on a phone to disable the updates, do not forget not to insert a SIM and not to connect to WiFi, untill the OTA is fully blocked / disabled.
As for how to get rid of the NAG about the updates already downloaded and waiting for the installation, i THINK you might want to wipe cache? Because that's where they are stored while waiting?
It is good that you do not have the A/B system device, where the damn updates are installed on the fly!
If nothing works, this is why I always need root. Because the manufacturer pushes me to, leaves me no way out to just peacefully coexist, they just have to force feed their updates to us. Good luck bro.
