I’m still waiting for them to change the godawful quick toggles. Not only do the quick toggles take up so much space now (it almost feels like accessibility mode is on by default), Wifi and Mobile Internet are hidden behind a second layer of toggles.
Honestly one of my favorite parts of calyxos is having the sane implementation of separate wifi and cell data toggles.
Still waiting for Desktop Mode…
Just one of the many reasons why I got an s23 ultra over a pixel 7 pro.
Dex mode is awesome , the hardware of Galaxy is nice too but unfortunately I cannot install a private ROM like GrapheneOS or Calyx, for me this criteria is above all benefits that a Samsung Galaxy can offer me
That is a sad reality when it comes to samsung. Beat you can do is adb the apps away you don’t want, and use rethinkdns (firewall) combined with the dns of them, nextdns or decloudus.
Is not GrapheneOS, but it’s a little more private as out of the box.
I have a Galaxy Flip 4 too that I earned from my company and I did exactly what you said.
You are supposed to use chrome cast! Its my primary gripe about the Pixels.
I would actually like some features removed for once.
Your wish is granted. From the article: “One of the biggest differences between Android 14 vs Android 13 is that the new update now blocks older Android apps from being installed. Google says this change specifically targets apps built for Android 5.1 Lollipop APIs and older.”
Sigh.
I hope I can force install old apps. I like my old games
They probably worked towards these two goals of Google : We made it even harder to do anything without using our property crap, yet again./ made side loading impossible or we’re making it more difficult cause we want you use our app store only. All For security of course.
I just wish they would fix the back gesture to never take me back to the home screen, or at least give me that as an option. It’s the one thing that frustrates me to hell on an almost daily basis when I’m using Android. I don’t need another gesture that takes me to the home screen, and especially not one that often closes the app I was looking at altogether, meaning it needs restarting.
My Pixel 6 Pro battery life has been abysmal, I’m torn between installing the 14 beta and a factory reset.
I’m still waiting for LineageOS 20 for my device
New Android versions are not about the new features. It’s about “what functionality and apps am I losing this time?”
