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.
if I watch a movie or doomscroll on Lemmy
Are you telling me we really made Lemmy that good to be as ~~good~~ bad as Reddit? 🤯
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.
Why only limit it to one model?
Yeah, many of us hoard a lot of tabs, for the better for worse, but even after some simple web searches you can gather a lot of links quickly, so it is always handy to have a good tab management.
OP said he's using a private tracker, are all private trackers guaranteed to work with the arr stack?
Well, if my memory serves well, Ublock Origin has been in Firefox mobile for a long time already but I get you.
Although even before I did the switch I rarely saw ads on Google because I have always used DNS ad blocking (whether using my pi-hole or AdAway root version) but yeah Ublock Origin is just so much better.
Nah, my device is not high end, but it ships with a SD 865, and 6 GB of RAM.
Have you used Chrome recently? It is just a better experience with Android, except because of the ads and shitty Google's hand lol.
It feels so good to have your grouped tabs always accessible at the bottom and you can quickly switch just by tapping the little icon.
Long time Kodi and Plex user, it was a matter of time that I started messing around with this.
Hi, as soon as I noticed this was a thing I headed to this community to let anyone else know that you can use the newest sort types in the Sync for Lemmy app with that nice workaround... But I just found a lot of "Sink and Sync threads" here that I actually thought the sort bugged my app/feed lol, what a good timing.
Anyway I hope this is useful for you guys until the new update arrives... Soon ^TM
Picture of reference:
Shocked Pikachu face meme.
3 hours in the background seems a lot to me.
I started the app clean and configured it from the start (it was a pain in the ass because I migrated my settings from Sync for Reddit lol) and the issue still remains, having this huge background usage prevents my phone from going to deep sleep properly which lends to a bigger battery drain.
EDIT: BTW the issue is gone when I set the app to restricted battery mode instead of optimized... But I'd rather keep it in optimized as it closes less often in the background, that is how I had it with Sync for Reddit, which on average its active background was several minutes only.
EDIT 2:
This is the process that Battery Guru/BBS says shows
job/io.syncapps.lemmy_sync/androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService#9188
This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there... Even when it was outdated (which I think that's the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?).
I used it to check the process of my phone and monitor the active and idle drain mostly, I paid for it a long time ago, but now it just fails to check the licence and it doesn't let me use it fully... I think there must be a cracked APK over there...
EDIT:
Fortunately the app is back in the store and hopefully that update version comes soon enough!
Fuck my prior preparation day with the Chromecast with Google TV before the hotel checking....
I don't travel too often so my Chromecast needed some tweaking (AKA updating system and apps etc), I like to take it as a travel companion and found out this shitty frame around the TV.
It is the first time it happened to me, I can see this being annoying for frequent travelers.

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.
