Glad to hear that. After trying to linux and not having a great experience, I am forced to comeback to Windows. Will try these out next time.
On that note, do we have some good Windows forks/builds which remove the bloat for us? I heard about lot of them, not sure which one is actually worth trying.
Might be a dumb question but why don’t we just continue using Win10 post end of it’s support? Are security updates that necessary that the system wouldn’t work at all? As a kid I have used old Win versions like XP and 7 for a very long time, never had an issue.
Doesn’t group policy tweaks gets reverted on update or something like that? I heard about this group policy workaround and also heard something that said it wasn’t that great of a solution.
You make a fair point but it’s not all doom and gloom. Custom ROMs are a great to way to boost an old phone and run it a bit longer. Your use cases are definitely not mine hence I had a great experience using custom ROMs for the past 4yrs. Agree on it being a time taking process.
Damn I thought we would have more easier unofficial methods to unlock bootloader.
This is horrible because Xiaomi devices have a great scene in custom ROM community.
Is this a good news or a bad news?
Lol same thought. I just got a new phone which came with Android 14 and I’m not updating this device.
Afaik new feature in android 15
Edit: Nvm, just read the article, apparently a feature in latest OneUI. So unless you use Samsung you wouldn’t know it. That aside, with android 15 you will get some sort of “feature” which discourages sideloading.
What is it?
Edit: I just searched about it and wow. Didn’t know we have alternative to SimpleTools available already. I have been using the old Simple Notes despite the news of its acquisition out of laziness and not it’s the time to switch. Thanks.
I tried so hard to stick to Florisboard but gboard is waaay too convenient that I keep going back to it. I wish Florisboard at least adds feature to search among emojis.
I have this extension and I always thought it’s duty was to contain Amazon services from interacting with my other sites i.e., stop Amazon trackers. Can you explain to me more how to use container tabs?
This is Pixel launcher feature. Exclusive to Pixels but also gettable via custom ROMs. I love this feature but Pixel Launcher doesn’t have good customisation features and hence I have ditched it.
Yes. They’re just better on a budget device like mine.
There used to be an official app Directs from Instagram but since we can’t have nice things, it got shutdown.
I am looking for one as well since then.
I actually liked some of the features that came with win11 but it was so bloated that it wouldn’t run that well on my old laptop.
