  • I don’t agree with most of these comments, except for the swipe down with two fingers. But it still looks like it’s early in development, and it’ll be a while until Android 16. I don’t think they’d make a two finger gesture the only way to access quick settings, especially from an accessibility standpoint. They’ll probably change it.

    Current stock android quick settings suck. So much wasted space. Changing some settings is inconvenient. It looks quite bad, especially the brightness slider. And editing the tiles is currently extremely slow, difficult and janky.

    This change improves the looks. The number of tiles per page is changed from 8 to 12/16. Toggling WiFi or Bluetooth on/off will now take only one tap instead of three. Editing tiles looks smooth and easy.

    This isn’t change for the sake of change, this is a fix for one of Android’s weakest points.


  • Sideloading is quite bad. If you’re in the EU, I know you can use AltStore PAL, which costs money (~€1.50 a year), but all you’ll be getting is emulators, virtual machines, clipboard managers, and torrent clients.

    There is another method for sideloading that works anywhere and lets you download modified apps, but it is very limited, tedious, and probably insecure. I’ve done it, it’s not worth it. Better to stay on android or use a browser with adblock or something.

    I don’t think iOS has any specific limits to do with NSFW stuff, I’ve never heard of anything anyways.

    Pirating games is probably not going to be worth it either since you have to sideload apps with the second method.

    Other types of piracy are probably fine. If you have AltStore PAL you can get a torrent client and an emulator.
