Your timing is excellent. I'm struggling with managing my relationships in life and am slowly realising that I may have some inattentive ADHD traits. A tool like this, if I can commit to using it, could really help me. And the demo being a massive Community loveletter is a huge green flag! I'm going to give this a go tomorrow.
Same debate where he said "I have concepts of a plan". Whatever happened to his healthcare plan?
They're hoping you click through to their dedicated article about App Lock here. That's what Android and tech journalism is these days, blatant attempts to get as many clicks as possible.
Basically it's a way to lock an app behind biometrics so only you can open it. The submitted article is specifically about those apps having their notifications treated as sensitive. That's literally it. It could've been in the original article about App Lock, but y'know - gotta get those clicks.
Why post this again? This is from the 12th of December...
Why does every submission on the android lemmy site contain various anti-google and anti-android sentiments? This is a very bizarre and miserable fanbase.
You seem stressed about this...
I don't want to piss about with icon packs and custom launchers these days. That was very much a "12 years ago" kind of thing for me.
The icon shapes are already customisable on the stock Google Launcher and I rotate them to keep things looking fresh.
You seem troubled. Have you considered therapy?
This setting doesn't affect the app drawer, it's just for the home screen which are apps you place manually to be fair - I like the consistency.
It's not just photos though.
I have a folder of apps and app shortcuts here. Most of these apps support the dynamic icon theming, but the shortcuts use other icons that clearly don't. So yeah, before this update this folder looked a bit uneven as the app shortcuts were coloured, but now it looks uneven because the app shortcuts look weird and different.
I'll get over it... 😅
Well considering the app shortcuts/deep-link shortcuts aren't app icons maybe Google shouldn't have enabled Material You on them? Even if the app supports it by providing a greyscale bitmap, most of the app shortcuts icons don't so now if you use app shortcuts heavily (which I do) your home screen is now ugly.
And I don't want to lose the app icon theming just to fix this. I feel like this could've been a beta option so I can choose to force it or not.
... the Messages conversation shortcut for my girlfriend has made her into an ugly demon. It's kinda crazy that Google also applies it to deep-link shortcuts as well. Feels very lazy.
This happens every year. Pub announces the rule, people complain, shitrag makes an article about it.
It's just marketing at this point.
