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.
Still waiting for Desktop Mode…
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 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.”
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.
I think that the predictive back gesture feature will help a lot with this. When you swipe back from the screen edge, the animation will show the screen you’re going back to, making it predictable. But having the option to disable the back gesture from sending you to the home screen would be great to have. There’s nothing wrong with having more options.
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.
Maybe read the article instead of just making shit up and getting mad about it. It specifically calls out a feature that’s rumored to be in the works (emphasis mine):
An update ownership feature that allows a third-party app store to be the sole source of automatic updates for a given app. It looks like Google will harness this feature for select Google apps too.
Kind of the opposite of what your speculation says, no?
Are you seriously defending a company that want to (forcefully ) push DRM on webpages ?
Secondly, It’s the Freaking UE forcing those bastards to open up, they’re not doing it because it’s better for the user. I don’t need to read any article, every time i update to a new version of crapdroid, nothing changes, it eat more ram and battery and is locked further. (for security reasons, of course )
Don’t montion IPhone, i don’t want to be considered too stupid to use my stuff correctly thank you.( a legit apple stance )
