Portable doggie 🔜 NFC
real talk, fuck phone reviewers 10 years ago selling us on the notion of stock android being a holy grail. i wish we could see what variations there could be on the android UX rn if the idea of OEMs skinning it still stuck around.
@dogo what are you talking about, stock android 12 is absolutely gorgeous
@noiob the parts of it that are updated are really nice yeah, but some apps along with the app drawer feel to me like theyre still in android 11 visuals and it kinda clashes.
that's a personal thought tho and more than anything im saying this out of the desire for android phones/oems to have some kind of uniqueness to em again
@dogo I mean that's fair, I'm always pleasantly suprised when an app comes with a material you look
idk about the app drawer, I use a custom launcher
@noiob yeah tbh thats a fair point, it's kind of an ios 6 -> 7 situation where we'll have to wait things out a touch.
assuming u use one of the launchers that lets you do smoothly transitioning multitasking gestures ye?
@dogo I use Lawnchair, mostly because I can't set duckduckgo as search engine on Pixel launcher and I got used to it on my LG G6. They have a very early version that does all the fancy quickswitch stuff but it's not where I want it to be yet, and honestly I care very little about whether apps shrink into their icon when closed
@dogo hm, it doesn't look broken to me, stuff just shrinks into the center and sometimes swiping into multitasking opens the app drawer for a sec
@noiob oh yeah i forgot nova does that..
idk about stutters/lag, all i noticed in my play with it is just the transition being broken
