If your device has more than 60 hz, perhaps that feature might mask this a bit, but definitely stock launcher will always have smoother animations than third parties if you are using full screen gestures, I am currently in MIUI (I was on AOSP before) and well, I can’t even install another launcher here, but I can confirm it is as smooth as it can be.
The only thing you are missing is smooth animations while minimizing apps or triggering the app switcher, swipe between apps works fine.
Exactly, thus I am not using anything but Lawnchair with Quick Switch (requires root) as a launcher replacement.
They should just let us install icon packs, third party launchers are broken since A12 or A11 if you use full screen gestures (and I would not use android buttons even if I get paid for it lol).
The pastel colors are washed out and unattractive.
And then it’s me who thinks A12 was the best UI change that Android has had… But don’t mind me, I came from iOS something at that date, so I am kinda used to “simpler” UIs.
I do agree you should be able to customize it yourself, AFAIK you can do so if you are rooted.
Fair, but I still want something on the left.
Pretty much the only thing you can do nowadays with root is install tweaks that hide the fact that you have root from other apps lol.
While it is true that you can install those modules to hide it, I wouldn’t say they are the only reason to stick rooting lol, a lot of apps work way better with root permissions, Battery Guru, FKM and AdAway are 3 good examples that I can think of right away.
With root?
Having a superior backup and restore method, Swiftbackup rooted is way better than Google’s solution.
Hassle free ad-less YouTube (and YT music) the root apps (Magisk or KSU) come with a way to auto update, so, from the user side I just hit update and I am good to go, no need to waste time patching the apks myself.
I can replace the Google news from the side/left menu with whatever app I like, in my case, the Feeder app.
I can go on, but you just asked for 3.
I moved to Android for the 1st time ever in 2020 from an iPhone 6s.
The device I decided to go with is a Poco F2 Pro which lost official support years ago, it has decent hardware and even the battery still holds up (with a good custom ROM, I still achieve 8 hrs of SOT).
It just took me about a year, or perhaps less to move to the custom ROM scene, and for me I can’t ever go back to stock Android ever, even when it is a big step regarding iOS features (except for LS customization) the amount of stuff you can do with rooted android device is no joke.
My only regret is that I was never in the prime days of rooting… At least Telegram communities are super active, not that it is better… But personally I prefer it to discord lol.
I was in the prime days of jailbreaking though, too bad that they seem to be doing worse nowadays.
Only the Bitwarden back-end uses proprietary code
So this was what it changed then?
I also self-host Vaultwarden because it is stupidly simple…
In my environment alone they will be loosing upwards of 3,500 dollars yearly, 700,000 if I can convince my boss to dump them for the company as well.
And move to what?
Do you know if I need to reconfigure my folders?
I guess if the transition is not smooth there is still time for them to adapt something until the very end…
On another hand, it seems like we all deposited all our eggs in one basket huh?
I really can’t think of many Synching replacements… Even when I know there are a few.
Do people really use VLC to listen to music?
It would be a real shame that they moved onto the next big thing while the Steam Deck is not even widely available.
DNS challenge? It is the 1st time I read about it.
I suppose in your LAN you need no VPNs then?
Hmm, interesting, how would I start doing this?
I use a Synology NAS BTW, so it already gives me a Synology subdomain to mess around.
A VPN? you still need a reverse proxy/domain to use it don’t you?
Yeah, I agree using Bitwarden in Android can be a mess, but I find it works pretty well with Firefox, now that I mention it, why do people get the Bitwarden extension if the app already works well?
I have access to an iOS device (girlfriend’s) and I see it works well and I have never heard her complaining…
For reviewing a game it is needed to buy it on Steam (my logical thinking would say, yes.).
If that is correct then I think a better way to express your disagreement with this game would be simply don’t buy it, or just pirate it (if it is possible).
They are quite annoying to me, especially if I am multitasking fast, it will kinda get stuck in the middle of the usage… And that is not nice.
