You can download the APks from his patreon if you subscribe. Someone mentioned buying lifetime license and I saw the price was $4 for one device. You can buy multiple licenses if you need more.

Wow, finally. The new changes are much appreciated and long. I like the blur UI from Smart Launcher 6 and what ColorOS has done for the notification shade. As long as they keep the unified notification shade. I’m fine.

Its still there. But, he is saying it can be removed if this continues with google.

You are talking about Niagara launcher right?

The issue I’m having is that recently bugs have been introduced. Widgets get randomly greyed out and I need to turn off and on the screen for them to become usable again. Also the launcher keeps appearing in Android’s recent apps screen

You can report the 1st bug. As for the 2nd bug you can also report to the devs.

Here’s the new feedback page for it: https://feedback.niagaralauncher.com/

I find both of these things frustrating and have attempted to ask a couple times about the status of the launcher. The first time I was flat out ignored and the second time I was lambasted by a community member to not ask for ETAs. I’m not sure how asking if they’re still working on things is asking for an ETA, but whatever.

That’s against the rules because apparently they don’t want people asking this question again and again since there are 1000s and more users, to avoid giving timelines and failing if certain things fail. Also, to not put pressure on the people developing it.

I bought a lifetime license and so I can’t even act like I’m paying for this, but I do feel that my purchase at least entitles me to know if development is ongoing or do I have unreasonable expectations? I’m not asking for a when, just whether or not something is happening. Especially considering these bugs were only introduced when the launcher started trying to do too much and add features that should be handled by the OS rather than the launcher, namely a “usage breaker”.

Yeah, usage breaker is unnecessary but it was developed as part of their Digital wellbeing initiative.

You can switch to other launchers like Kiss, Olauncher, and others. They should provide a similar experience search experience.

That’s been dead anyway. I would rather they include the sdcard instead of removing it in favor of 256gb internal storage.

You can cope all you want. It doesn’t change the nature or the fact Sync is broken and has stopped working in major areas where it impedes function. It would’ve been fine if it was cheap like the old sync reddit app.

But, we weren’t the ones asking for high ad-free purchase, or Sync Ultra price.

Some samsung phones are this bad and sometimes even worse (A53, M55).

I’m guessing its a samsung optimization issue alongside using cheap parts. Chinese OEMs in the same price range use faster chips and Vapor cooling chamber for improved performance.

What phone is that?

I too use droidify and unobtainium and have never received such pop-ups. I guess if it warns you there’s the possibility the app is malicious or requests sensitive permissions.

They removed sdcard slot support in A36 and A56 series phone.

6Yrs of updates, OneUI and the Exynos 1480 are good (A major upgrade over the 7 gen 1 which had heating issues) and the only things worth about this. But, let’s not pretend this is going to compete against 6000/7000mah chinese smartphones with 80/120w super fast charging or IP69 durability.

If they had included an sdcard slot this could’ve been given a 2nd chance. But, they provide even less reasons to consider before.

Wait, I had to do a double take. I thought they were charging $200 extra for Fedora and Ubuntu. They could consider sending some money to those distros for development which would still be cheaper than buying windows.

Yeah, I still use redreader for its awesome offline capabilities. Currently using sync since its a close 2nd.

A mastodon app named pinafore was a prime example I had seen ever. It was seamless and smooth even on my low end phone back then. Maybe, its code can give inspiration for Voyager.

Good solution. But, I want a general solution for all my installed apps.

I cannot access the private space feature in RealmeUI. Also, while multiple user can work for some apps. I want a general enough solution for all apps.

I just tested an app called SMS and backup and it was able to perform a local backup on android 15. Could be grapheneOS issue.

I found this discussion after doing an image search. Maybe, it has something that can help you.

What does clicking on the Learn more page show? Maybe, it has some info on this.

Fusion has 3+4 yrs of software support. But, edge 60 pro and neo should have 5yrs of software updates.

Better compatibility(most every Linux command should work fine since the directory structure will be same unlike termux) and high number of apps. Also, unlike proot it will have better performance and run faster since its native emulation.
