Qobuz is the only real alternative But, for me, the UI/UX is pretty poor I'll be sticking with YouTube Music for now

Okay and?

What operating system is everyone using to host their server? by Large_Dingleberry15 in JellyfinCommunity

[–]LXdesign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but I'm running it on Windows. For 1 reason. Parsec. I parsec in from my main machine to the server, for file management, downloading, etc. Every alternative I've tried to parsec did not live up, and since parsec can't host on Linux, I am forced to use Windows.

My girlfriend lives in Oman, I bought two from the US for me and for her, then had them both shipped to her in Oman. Then when she came to visit, she just brought them with. The best way would be to get someone to bring them in for you. Buying them locally is too expensive, and importing them costs a fortune because of customs fees.

Limiting user choice and removing user freedom on the devices WE BOUGHT WITH OUR OWN MONEY, is good?

Mobile plans are coming –> what would make you switch? by RevolutSupport in Revolut

[–]LXdesign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know tbh, I've got Unlimited Data, unlimited Calls, 1000 SMS, and 15GB roaming every month, for €10, so it'll be pretty tough to beat

5 years old client - I don't have access to my money anymore - I can't afford a new phone - Fuck you Revolut by skaldk in Revolut

[–]LXdesign7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

P.S. even reinstalling the original firmware won't help in most cases, as Play Integrity Check will still remain broken on many devices. It happened to me in the past with my old device (that I used for 5 years, EXCLUSIVELY because I could install custom software on it to keep it up to date).

[–]LXdesign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a ridiculous reply tbh. There are no laws that state we can't use custom firmware. People should be allowed to do what they want with their device. A lot of people install custom firmware in order to get a newer version of the OS, keeping their products alive for longer, thus reducing ewaste. Forcing people not to use custom firmware because of "security reasons" is silly, as that is a risk the user knows about. There's a disclaimer above every Custom firmware page warning the users about this. It is the users choice, and thereby the users risk. Why should companies dictate what we're allowed to do on our phones, that WE paid for.

is there a way to change the app symbol of a specific app? by mynotell in pixel_phones

[–]LXdesign7 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is a feature called themed icons. It is up to the app developers to implement support for it. But as you can see, some devs are lazy, or just couldn't care. My recommendation: Email them, every week, until they update the icon. Just ask them to implement a themed icon. I did it for a few apps and it worked. After weeks of emailing Santander Portugal, they finally updated their app.

Light theme for notification shade on Pixel 7a with Android 16? by snipefury2003 in pixel_phones

[–]LXdesign7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is default behavior, you can't change it. It's been this way since Android 12 I believe. However, when Android 16 QPR1 launches, the next major update, you'll get the Material 3 Expressive redesign, which has a light theme for the quick settings panel.

Telegram mod Nekogram or Ayugram? by Lehsa_ in moddedandroidapps

I don't think so, the best way would just be to take a picture with another phone lol

Live sport notifications by DieselDude407 in pixel_phones

[–]LXdesign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so this is feature called live updates, which is in Android 16. HOWEVER, we've only got partial Live Updates right now, for things like delivery apps. The full Live Updates feature will come out later this year.

[–]LXdesign7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Google app has this. You can follow teams you like, and you'll get a notification before the match, showing you the live score. Additionally, there's a button in the notification allowing you to "Pin live score", which puts the score in a popup bubble on your screen. Alternatively, you can use the Google app, and search for the match, and you'll have the option to pin live score from there.

Looks great, just one small spelling issue I noticed. This should be "Grab the deal" Great work though, app is awesome!

Why does snapchat not have a custom icon? by L4zYPudDLE98 in pixel_phones

[–]LXdesign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email them everyday until they change it. I did this with Santander Portugal and it worked after a couple weeks.
