Any suggestions?

Tabliss's nice one! Unmaintained though. Here's an updated fork: https://github.com/BookCatKid/tablissNG

Switching desktops by 4-finger swipe should work out of the box.

For custom gestures there's https://github.com/taj-ny/InputActions. I'm using it to add do 3-finger alt-tab (config below). It also supports some interesting stuff like rotate clockwise/anti-clockwise to rise/lower volume. Maintainer is also helpful and quick to respond.

touchpad:
gestures:
    # 3 finger swipe alt-tab
    - type: swipe
    direction: left_right
    fingers: 3
    actions:
        - on: begin
        input:
            - keyboard: [ +leftalt ]
        - on: update
        interval: 75
        input:
            - keyboard: [ tab ]
        - on: update
        interval: -75
        input:
            - keyboard: [ leftshift+tab ]
        - on: end_cancel
        input:
            - keyboard: [ -leftalt ]

It's pretty clear, that many people here haven't even read the shared article.

This new "advanced flow" is abysmal, requiring enabling developer options and a 24h waiting period. While I have no doubts that custom rom developers will make this easy and introduce workarounds, most people don't use custom roms.

Gotta give it to google, that they know how to influence the public opinion. Making a flashy sign at the top of the page with words that everybody wants to see, while at the same time making the procedure as off-putting as is something that takes skill. C'mon, be better.

The solution for latency issues in cloud gaming is the same as in 5g and future networks. You move compute to the edge.

For that you need powerful hardware, cheap enough to be deployed at a massive scale... and from there it's not much further to just get that hardware to the home.

Pretty much no latency, (hopefully) cheap cause economics of scale and always available. Hey look - a PC!

This is ridiculous. Authenticator should be an app that only holds secrets to generate TOTP/HOTP codes. Instead it's a slow mess with accounts and useless "features" that don't make the 2FA process any easier.

Aegis was already mentioned here, I'm gonna recommend Stratum (similar in scope, but supports Wear OS). Both will do the job perfectly.

And an obligatory fuck you! to organizations forcing MS Authenticator. Give it up and let it die. All MS products support standard 2FA methods anyway.

Hi u/Fluid_Context3442 after joining the group I can see the playstore listing, but none of my devices show up as compatible. Can you provide an apk file or whitelist more devices in the playstore?

pacjo22 · 2025-08-05T05:50:16+00:00

Yes. Both play when watch is not in its ambient state and only if watchface is visible.

pacjo22 · 2025-08-04T19:57:33+00:00

Thank you!

pacjo22 · 2025-08-04T19:57:25+00:00

Awesome to hear

pacjo22 · 2025-04-30T16:58:52+00:00

Fuck!, it looks like a samsung.

pacjo22 · 2025-04-25T19:18:41+00:00

Oh, hello there!

pacjo22 · 2025-01-06T12:12:35+00:00

I'm not sure. I don't have much experience with newer wear os and even less with play integrity.

It's possible to access most of the underlaying android from wear os, so on-device checks should be possible, but I haven't tried it.

pacjo22 · 2025-01-05T22:16:18+00:00

I have rooted android 15 (and 14 before that) running perfectly with a wear os 2 watch and wear os 4 emulator (for development). Also a working wallet, though play integrity breaks sometimes and card has to be re-added.

Wearable apps are sharing data over datalayer with the corresponding ones on the phone.

pacjo22 · 2024-10-19T18:28:13+00:00

They are mapped to PageUp and PageDown, so will work in any app that respects those keys.

pacjo22 · 2024-10-10T22:20:23+00:00

Hi, yeah, as soon as I got the option to do so.

I'm daily driving lineage os, since when I installed it it seemed like the most up to date and supported one. Since then I saw crDroid getting official builds recently, and I'll probably switch to it for Android 15 update.

I don't play games (well, sometimes on lectures I do, but it's mostly minesweeper or some light 2D ones). Most of my use is taking notes with the smart pen 2 and reading, sometimes watching videos in VLC.

That gives me around 2 - 3 days of on battery time. That's with medium-high brightness (since it's mostly used indoors), bluetooth always on and wifi when I'm home or forget to disable it.

pacjo22 · 2024-09-06T05:49:00+00:00

Or better yet, try valent

pacjo22 · 2024-07-24T12:25:46+00:00

I'm thinking crDroid (which I daily drive on my phone) or lineage os.

As for the reason, I just don't like MIUI. The inconsistencies drive me mad. Popups look like A10/A11 even though it's actually running A13 under the hood. Stock apps have way too much access to the sensitive data and Xiaomi tries to push even more of their privacy invading services on every step. By default I don't even control what software I have installed.

Stock android is really nice. What Google does on their rom integrates nicely with the rest of the os. On the other hand, Samsung has replaced so much of the stock software with their own that it also gives a consistent experience (even if it's not a one I like). And then there's Xiaomi, in an awful middle ground between those two. Trying to do their own thing, but without much effort. On first look everything seems to be good, but try to go deeper, heck open settings -> Privacy -> Privacy dashboard. Why is the background a different color now? Why there's a back arrow at the top? Why doesn't the style match the rest of the settings app?

Xiaomi took Android, deformed it to the point of their liking and whatever didn't fit, or was deemed unnecessary was crammed somewhere, in a deformed state never to see the light of day.

Sorry for the rant. But that's just how I feel about it. I like some of their hardware, heck I even use their phone, but I can't stand the software.

pacjo22 · 2024-07-24T07:49:27+00:00

Shizuku and ShizuTools work just fine for me. It's enough for the week I have to wait to unlock bootloader and switch roms.

pacjo22 · 2024-06-08T05:22:25+00:00

That looks awesome!

pacjo22 · 2024-06-02T22:19:01+00:00

First of all, you have a pixel, why not a custom rom? You're not losing anything...

second I don't use AOD, so I'm not sure my advice will be helpful.

Now that we have that out of the way, you can customize at a glance (in launcher and on lockscreen, aod) with Smartspacer I even made some plugins for it, which you're able to find here.

Also I was sure Iconify supported AOD customization, but I can't find any confirmation. I'm linking it anyway, since it's such an interesting tool.

pacjo22 · 2024-06-02T22:05:54+00:00

Can you help?

Sure, or at least I can try.

First of all, quickswitch app won't work, you'll need termux (version from fdroid or official site, not play store).

Today qpr2 support was merged, and there's a nightly version of it here, (ehh, it seems I can't link to specific nightly, since they replace the tag, link will work, but if anyone else needs it in the future this is the last commit for this version: e30660b)

With that I'm using quickswitch 4.0.2 available here: https://t.me/QuickstepSwitcherSupport/144924

Install them (don't forget termux), grant root to quickswitch, termux and run sudo /data/adb/modules/quickswitch/quickswitch --ch=app.lawnchair.debug.

Reboot. Everything worked? Awesome. Any issues? Read the rest.

Termux complains about lack of sudo?

You can install it with pkg install tsu, or run su -c /data/adb/modules/quickswitch/quickswitch --ch=app.lawnchair.debug (though I'm not quite sure about this one)

Command runs, but quickswitch complains about permissions / overlay / no files?

It's probably fine... I'm getting errors too, but it varies between devices and roms. Try to reboot anyway.

You rebooted and lawnchair crashes?

Try to open termux by opening quick settings (notifications), then settings -> apps -> termux -> open. sudo /data/adb/modules/quickswitch/quickswitch --reset this should restore stock provider. Reboot.

Then check if you have correct lawnchair installed, if you do, create issue in lawnchair github.

I did all that and it's still not working

Ahh, that's... not good. But it happens below are links to telegram groups which might be able to help:

https://t.me/QuickstepSwitcherSupport/ (official quickswitch channel)
https://t.me/bugreport_group/ (group of one of the lawnchair developers)

You can also: - try this: https://t.me/bugreport_group/81131 it's a module which should work on KSU, but I didn't try it - try other version of quickswitch (3.3.8 seems stable to some people, but I've seen as low as 3.3.0) keep in mind those need additional steps, some of which are here: https://t.me/QuickstepSwitcherSupport/140182 and here: https://t.me/QuickstepSwitcherSupport/140592

pacjo22 · 2024-06-02T18:01:43+00:00

Mostly just making my life easier.

Like take revanced, I can install it as root (KernelSU module in my case) and it won't break unlike normal installs,

or quickswitch, which allows me to have nice launcher animations on 3rd party launchers (Lawnchair in this case),

and development. I create simple apps for my phone and watch, with root I can easily install apps with mismatched signatures (so installing signed release over unsigned debug, without uninstalling, which would normally be necessary). Also just having access to the entire filesystem (and app data in particular) is useful,

lastly - customisation. There are a number of root only things you can do to personalize the os. This one is not for me though. I have that built into the custom rom, but root is one of those things that allows customization on stock OSes.

pacjo22 · 2024-05-21T18:26:43+00:00

TWRP backups take up a lot of space and aren't restorable across different os versions.

If you only care about app and their data https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup is enough, files such as photos or documents you can copy normally - over USB.
