Retro quick access on GrapheneOS??? (lemmy.ml)

Yo how'd our hommie sideofburritos get old school quick access on GrapheneOS? Is this just an old version? The video's only a year old! So I'm on GOS Android 13 (aka big dumb quick access button purgatory), totally confused and totally jealous. I can only imagine an out of touch board testing a new android version and telling the developers to make the buttons bigger and dumber while they tell their managers "okay, we can do that" while they die a little inside. This is the most egregious design offense committed in the history of AOSP.

Please tell me this can be fixed with System UI Tuner or some other bullshit that doesn't kill my battery life or privacy.

What exactly is the issue here?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has no way to disable the text, even though EVERY android user knows these symbols forever. It only makes sense in some toggles.

No seperate internet toggles.... so stupid.

The Android 11 menu really is so good...

LineageOS maintains these fixes:

seperate internet toggles
old navigation bar(I think)
long press for torch

Such a quality of life improvement

Are you saying you like the big buttons? Because Android 12 is when they were introduced.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah I do and Im tired of pretending I dont

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm confused. Quick access was introduced in Android 4 and those buttons were huge.

Gosh, yeah. I vaguely remember having a custom ROM for my ZTE Blade which gave me quick access icons. Seem to recall I could display certain widgets there, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, Android 12 added the new Quick Setting tile called "Internet" that combined the Wi-Fi and Mobile Data tiles. Yeah you're right, I had big square QS buttons on my old Galaxy S4 but when I switched to Pixel it had the small circular buttons for a short period.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I do like them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No oops, I hate it. I think Android 11 was it when it was just working.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I liked the small circular QS buttons best from everything they've put out so far. If they brought those back and had an option to remove the button titles, I'd be happy.
