I'm going the opposite direction and got Olauncher. Minimal AF as they say. Icons and widgets are for babies who don't have the fine motor skills to click on things yet. It will probably annoy me to death in a day or two but not having any customisation options at all really takes the setup time out of a new launcher.

Pvt. Parts posted:Me likey this. Have been considering going with Niagara forever. Do you know how they compare if you've used em both? No idea. Niagra has ties with the same people who just got Nova so didn't bother with it. It is super minimal though, you can't even have widgets or icons anywhere so if you need that it might not be for you.

I've actually just swapped to KISS Launcher now as the lack of shortcuts was annoying me as I use them a bit. FOSS - something I'm trying to move to more as I de-corporatise my life - so on f-droid + play store and doesn't need an internet connection at all so no one is getting your info. Still mostly a text search rather than scrolling based UI but a nicer middle ground. It's very snazzy.

Just a heads up for anyone who is thinking of using play store credit from rewards for Google One. They don't take partial payment so if you are $1 short of your yearly membership then they'll charge the whole lot to your account. So basically either pay monthly and have them hit your card when you don't have enough rewards or top up with a gift card or something before they try to charge you.

Heavy Metal posted:I'm looking for timers that chime every 30 seconds, for exercises/stretches and whatnot. And that I could leave on and have that continue, but also could reset easily etc. Any cool ones? Also preferably the sound isn't annoying. I've been doing mississippi seconds in my head like an animal. TABATA is the search term for what you want and there are a billion of them. I use one called 'tabata timer: interval timer' and it works perfectly for what I want with custom intervals so never really looked around.

Tree Reformat posted:Is anyone else having download issues with Pocketcasts? Suddenly I can't get the app to download from any podcast, and search for podcasts is failing too. Internet on the phone otherwise works fine. Is it set to download over wifi and you're not on wifi? Don't use pocketcasts but the superior app - Podcast Addict - fails like this when the flag is set to only use wifi.

Soysaucebeast posted:On an unrelated note, is there an app/workaround to block Youtube ads? I currently pay for a Youtube subscription, but with them raising the price 5$/month it's getting harder to justify. I thought a Pi-Hole would work, but apparently not, and all the other stuff I'm seeing online leads to shady Russian websites. I mean if I have to pay I have to pay because gently caress sitting through multiple ads per video, but I figured if anyone had something legit then you guys would. Newpipe. It doesn't do logged in stuff though so you'll need to redo subscriptions and things.

I use Fenix and it's not updating for me either. Whether this is malice or stupidity is a coin flip until word drops. It might be worth checking nitter to see if the fire hose has been broken. I'm to lazy right now.

I use KISS launcher. It's great, on f-droid and super light. There is no trouble setting it up because it won't really let you do much. You can't even have app shortcuts cluttering up your desktop.

KISS Launcher supremacy. Gestures for the stuff you want easy access too. Favourites for a few more so you got your little row at the bottom and fuzzy search for everything else. Maybe a clock widget if you're feeling wild but you're not getting app shortcuts all over your wallpaper.

Pipski posted:Is there any straightforward way to unify my volume controls in android, so that when I adjust it up/down it applies to all of them? There is no situation in which I want to turn down just media / ringtone/ message tones contextually and it's just a pointless pain-in-the-rear end feature (for me.) Don't wanna be somewhere quiet, think I've turned the volume down, then receive an email and have that notification still blaring out. Smart watches have killed the need for noise in notifications. Take advantage of that if you can.

She got some news app and every topic of dozens and dozens was set to beep when there was an update and turning them off required clicking on every freaking notification and toggling it off. Sounds like a great app to delete and never reinstall.

Bright Bart posted:Just wondering, does anyone know of a good *off-line* password manager app other than KeePass and its clones? One where you don't even need an account let alone a subscription to use. And ideally on more than one platform? I'm a huge fan of password store. Not sure what the windows / iOS usage is like but Linux, OSX and Android are workable. I just use command line stuff but GUI probably exist to fit it and you can easily share your passwords via a git repository. It's a bit techy though so if you want super simple setup then maybe it's not for you. Sharing secret keys between devices is the hardest part so if that doesn't put you off then you're golden.
