    Honestly I think it’s hideous. Wish they would take this one back to the drawing board. I prefer the sleek and minimalist push they used to have, but now it feels like they’re going back in a maximalist direction.

    My phone’s OS doesn’t need to be a theatrical experience with every press or swipe, it just needs to get me from point A to point B as quickly and simply as possible.

    All I see is more CPU/GPU power being given to irrelevant things that does nothing but make older devices run slower from the excess overhead.

    For most, except those with the newest devices, this will be a downgrade unless they change settings to reduce the use of animations. Not sure if there will be an option to disable the blur but I hope so.

      That was my first thought too. I thought the whole reason Android moved away from animation bloat was to improve performance, but everyone seems to be heading back in the opposite direction now. Samsung’s OneUI 7 also added tons of animations that have no functional benefit.

      I turn off so much crap as it is, and crank all animations down to 0.5 (I’d go lower but this is just fast enough to no have stutter). I don’t need iOS-slow animations that “look cool”, I got shit to do.

        Way faster than searching around for icons for me, plus it auto sorts them depending on usage at times. For example in the morning Waze is there and then a bit later my work time clock shows up and Lemmy is always a press away. Plus you can add tags to things so I use voyager for Lemmy but I tagged it Lemmy so I can search for either. I use my desktop the same way I hit the super key and start typing and my applications are there so its nice to transfer that muscle memory over to my phone

          Yeah, i installed it before commenting.
          I do like that i can set favorites and it also keeps history—that’s handy.

          I just can’t ever remember the names of apps i don’t use often. lol

          It seems good so far, though very different from Fossify Launcher. But I’ll keep playing with it for now, certainly!

          I might the the tags…

    I guess I’ve always been the person who likes UI change, I find it exciting to see that kind of thing. I know a ton of people will hate this, but I personally like it. The Android 12 quick settings menu looked awful to me, white straight next to black. Blur is overdue.

      Blur is garbage I don’t need.

      Fix the crappy space-wasting nonsense.

      Google is refining animations, adding blur

      How about refining UI control back to the user’s hand? Instead we have garbage that people with vision or motor-control challenges can’t use.

        “dingus” is so judgemental.

        What about a formal “my good fellow”? Or a friendly “brah”? Perhaps “bean-breath” if you want to push the Lemmy in jokes? Or even “dawg”?
