I still can’t do half the stuff in the windows settings app that I could in the control panel, and every update removes an option in control panel without an adequate replacement.

Inb4 “use Linux” I DO but Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED (even with v555) and when I’m done with work I just want to load up a game and not have to fuck with drivers and never actually play. Sue me.

I miss the Moto Z days. Those were some excellent phones and being able to slap an extra battery on the back was amazing. Mods could’ve gone so much further if they put some more R&D in it

You’ll always have the option to keep it blank. Meanwhile other (myself included) like to have some information at a glance that doesn’t require us to unlock our phones

Ctrl + shift + alt + win + any letter opens office apps

• W - Word
• P - PowerPoint
• T - teams
• N - OneNote

…etc

LinkedIn just happens to be L. If there isn’t an app installed (or available) it’ll just open in your browser.

I actually found these a few years ago when I decided to press every modifier letter combination. Back then it wasn’t documented anywhere but I’ve seen it pop up a few times in the last month so somebody must’ve found and shared it recently

If it’s a friend I just double down for shits and giggles

Wow, super missed that. April 10th. I just had it on a Pixel 2xl not too long ago

Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn’t officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.

As far as I’m aware they can only be used on Android. I did a search for APK on Roku and I all found were some articles erroneously calling custom channels APKs. Roku does let you side load custom channels in developer mode, but you can remove software like you can on an android box, so you’re always stuck with Roku’s ad riddled home page and whatever injects ads into HDMI

Roku is not android based, and doesn’t have an accessible ADB interface or similar

HTPC or Google TV. With Google TV you can at least ADB the shit away

My April fools prank you on my friends was a fake news article. It would’ve worked if any of them actually read past the headline.

In the same regards, it’s a toggle if you want it to come back automatically. You can still turn off Bluetooth and leave it off. The feature is there so you don’t turn off Bluetooth and lose your device & the only way to track it

Edit: fixed typo

?

Queer spear

Yeah but the real question is how many is a Brazilian?

Well this isn’t the news I wanted to hear from this…

No problem! Glad I could help

Used to be AOSP mods, should still mostly work on builds that remain close to AOSP on other devices too

Spite mostly. I have small QoL improvements, but mostly because Google says I can’t do what I want with my device.

Specific reasons:

• AdAway - ad blocking, can’t live without
• SnapEnhance - ad blocking & other tweaks to make SC more usable
• Revanced (w/o microgapps) - YouTube mod w/ sponsorblock & returned dislikes
• PixelExpert - misc UI tweaks like separate WiFi & mobile data tiles, as well as a 3 wide qs panel
• SmartSpacer - Custom complications on my at a glance screen. Can do useful things like show me my gas rewards card when in range of a gas stations WiFi, notifications for missed calls, texts, and emails that I might have dismissed from my tray
• MACsposed - let’s me spoof my MAC address. Used it to snag free WiFi on planes
• Swift Backup - backs my phone up to my server every night
• GAppsMod - enable call recording & other features on Google dialer & messages
• DarkTricks - additional misc toggles, some overlap with PixelExpert but occasionally has better implementations (power button flashlight, volume keys to skip tracks, etc)

No longer working:

• Xposed edge pro - let you bind a bunch of gestures to different actions or fly outs from any screen. Hasn’t been functional in Android 14 and it seems like the dev has dipped. I genuinely miss having an app fly out (but not enough to buy a Samsung)
