I’ve tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I’m losing features when I switch....

Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the “retro” look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren’t that important these days).

What percentage of Android phones are actually running it? I get that it’s brand new and over time more and more phones will report the location of trackers, but are there any metrics on current “market saturation” (for lack of a better word)?...

Imagine it, not a repo, but a site or app that lets you “try out” custom roms through an embedded or emulated interface....

hi there, a couple of month i tried the mLauncher which really helps me with its distraction free text only style. But I really miss tasks and appointments cause I dont see widgets and need to open the distinct APP. Is there an open source launcher with Text only + widget support?...

Apple has announced that its Messages app will support the RCS messaging standard in iOS 18. RCS offers more advanced features compared to traditional SMS, including higher-quality media, typing indicators, and end-to-end encryption. This move will improve messaging between iOS and Android devices, which currently rely on the...

I use LOS with microg on my OnePlus 8T. I have been running rooted with Kitsune (magisk fork), and I always follow the process to maintain root when upgrading LOS. Today I updated but somehow lost root. So I went through the process of rooting again: downloaded the boot.IMG, patched it on device, moved it to PC, booted into...

I am thinking of trying a new OS on my Pixel 8 pro, and I’m wondering if switching will require me to inform or update my cell service provider, Verizon, in any way to stay connected. When I just moved my SIM card from one device to another, I learned that it activates an anti theft feature after a couple of days of working...

i’ve been trying to get rid of non-foss garbage as much as possible but i haven’t found anything to replace the microsoft launcher yet, a few good candidates but they were all either underbaked or too unstable to use. Any suggestions?

Lineage OS 21 has a few apps I’d like to try, especially the dialer and keyboard app. Do any of...
