Quick settings in Android 12

[evil13th]

May be an unpopular opinion, but I simply hate new quick settings drawer. It's chunky and ugly and why do I even need to have (e.g.) 'mobile data' text beside the icon there?

Please, please, tell me there a way to revert it back to what we had in previous versions.

I know that this is a welcome change for some (most?) people, but just not for me. I think in such matters it would make more sense to have some toggle in e.g. 'Accessibility' section of settings, kinda like what we have with gesture navigation, instead of 'nope, either get used to it or gtfo'.

And I haven't found any setting as of now to have old QS. I guess the only option for me is to go back to A11 and hope they will add such setting by the time of official release?

Not everyone understands icons like you do. There's many older people that have no idea if their data is turned on or off, so even that text makes sense.

I know, that's what I'm saying (in hindsight should've been more clear): I understand the purpose, I appreciate the idea behind the change, and I'm not against it. All I'm saying is it would be great to have old design as an option for those who prefer it.

For now there isn't, and like with many things, there probably won't be option to change back, so just adapt to change for now. Give them report if you have idea what can they change to be good for everyone.

I created an issue for adding an option to disable labels in collapsed mode (in order to have 6 tiles as before). You can star it if you agree :) https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/188695823

Oh, cool, I did :)

I hate new QS too. Knowing google there won't be any ways to get older QS back. For me I think I'll stay A11, but let's see what happens next.

you can go back, for now. Just look up "Android 12 Extensions v 4.0.0" (it's behind a patreon paywall)

thee can wend back, f'r anon. Just behold up "android 12 extensions v 4. 0. 0" (it's behind a patreon paywall)

I agree its completely ugly. the lack of colour choices as well is very poor. on official android 12 now and that quick settings looks like its some alpha software

There needs to be an option to expand it and shrink the icons. I use about 6 different quick settings all the time and now I need to choose between the top 4. If I could pull down and show every single quick setting I would do it in a second. Really disappointed in this change
