yes, they are buggy when using 3rd party launchers.

I’m not sure why other Android OEMs are unable to fix this issue.

I have been using 3rd party launchers for 5 years now. I can’t stand the jerky animations. I always go back to using navigation buttons.

And now with the US antitrust ruling against Google, they are sure to ignore more of these small things.

Why don’t 3rd launchers not support native gestures yet? Why does Google refuse to fix that?

Use Obatanium to update GitHub apks. You can add other sources too.

how did I not know about this??

The first thing I do whenever I install anything is to go through the settings. To turn off trackers, analytics and explore the accessibility features.

As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept.

It can be both.

• You love the app, you don’t want it discontinued; you pay to continue the developement.
• The developers have a solid business model without any shady practices and have such an awesome free version that you don’t feel the need to pay to upgrade to premium features; then you may pay just to just your gratitude. Niagara Launcher & MixPlorer are similar examples of ad-free FREE versions.

The Moto X (2014)/(2nd gen) was such an awesome phone with a solid build.

I bought it in 2015 at a huge discount instead of the One Plus 1. I used it till the end of 2019 until the battery gave in & the USB port became useless.

Except for the smaller battery size & ok-ish camera, everyone had praises for that phone. My favourite part was it’s shape & software.

It received the Android 5 & 6 updates even before summer Nexus phones. And the updates were stable. Times were wild back then.

Can someone eli5 what Shizuku is? I keep hearing about it on a number of Android App YouTube videos as well.

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, “Google Pay”. So all the ads, promotions, everything.

Amazon is another poor startup that does that on their Android app.

For me it’s their constant Credit Card upsell notifications.

It’s the OCI card right?

I guess the iPhone sales numbers in the US are keeping them awake. I personally think Apple will only bend if they are forced somehow by the US government, like the way EU did with type-C.

Can you eli5 what’s that?

OffTopic: Why is it called A/B testing? I’ve mentioned a few times in the Revanced communities.

It’s feature packed & light weight. Check it out.

yep. All SIMPLE MOBILE APPS are awesome. It’s just that I’ve been using QuickPic for a very long time now (~7-8 years).Switching feels odd now.

There is this QuickPic mod on XDA that I’ve been using since it got bought out by Cheetah. You should check it out.
