Just switched from Nova to lawnchair about three days ago and I’m very happy with it.

You might be interested in lawnchair. It’s open source and based off the Google launcher (AFAIK) but you can remove the search bar and other things.

The one on f-droid is two versions out of date. Latest one is from their website:

I remember when that video came out and I was truly impressed at watching good regulations in action.

Luv me some EU I does. 🇪🇺

Big fan of the Motorola phones myself (I’m the chief phone buyer in the house) and that one looks like a very similar spec to mine.

Current phone is the OnePlus Nord 2T. Absolutely great phone. I really love the screen as I do watch movies on it.

My only issue is that I’m not sure it’ll ever get Lineage support and I think that might be down to the processor in it.

Are you looking for a new phone yourself?

Current phone was 240 euro. One before that was 460 but I got 5 years out of it. The only real difference I notice is in the screen.

🥰

TL;DR I think most people are full of goodness.

In this instance that’s definitely the case that it’s shitty behaviour IMO but in general I still hold dear to my view that most people are good and it’s my default position on new people I meet, with some bad vibe exceptions, until proven otherwise.

It’s like the old Mr Rogers quote about looking for the helpers. I see (and try my best to also do and am so lucky to be married to someone the same) so much good in this world.

Ah yeah, totally makes sense. It’s set up the way you want it. Moving from Android 9 to 14 though is very nice for what it’s worth.

If you do decide to pull the trigger and need help feel free to hit me up.

Oh you can have all the google apps with Lineage and your phone is in the “fully supported” list. You just install the gapps package during the install process. I’m in the same boat as yourself - fully tied into the googlesphere so wasn’t prepared to jump without it.

Not sure about your DAC AMP as tbh I don’t know anything about them but if you’re not sure you could do a backup, install Lineage with the google stuff, see if it works then revert if not. Total time I’d say would be 2 hours or so if you needed to revert (edit: plus reading time if this is your first time doing something like this).

That’s a long way behind alright.

LineageOS is probably worth checking for compatibility. I got an extra few years out of my last phone with it.

Well that sucks balls. :( Why would a manufacturer do that?! Bananas.

Oof :(

I’m android 14 on a OnePlus device for what it’s worth.

Yes it does.

To remove internet access from Nova, in android go to:

Settings->mobile network->data usage->network access

Go to Nova and select “disable network access”

Nova will complain after but functions just fine.

This blew my mind a bit so here’s a pic for others…

That’s a fascinating little nugget!

I can hear his voice so clearly reading that. :D

Her first interactions with newt were so soft too. Really amazing character played by the perfect actress for the role.

Aliens is my favourite movie of all time.

“Hey Vasquez… Have you ever been mistaken for a man?”

“No. Have you?”

Top ten movie zinger for me. Delivered perfectly. Loved her character so much.
