I've had enough of the text editing issue, where when you press backspace it highlights the space before the word and ends up deleting it. The developer passes off responsibility for this to the engine they use and seems to have no intention of addressing it.

What are the pros and cons of the other Android apps? I'm only considering ones on F-Droid, not the Play Store, so that rules out Summit and Boost. Ones I have available are:

Thunder (IzzyOnDroid)
Interstellar (IzzyOnDroid)
Voyager
Eternity
muffed (IzzyOnDroid)
Combustible

Part of the reason for the move is upgrading from a Poco F3 to a Pixel 7 Pro (although I'm sad to lose the IR blaster). However I run custom ROMs, so I've been using the keyboard that comes with DivestOS and AXP.OS. Don't really want to try another keyboard lol but others have said that might fix it.

got it.

i hope the 7 is good, I'm donnne with pixels after this guy.

i hear they're great with custom roms but haven't tried replacing mine yet.

Yeah DivestOS ticks nearly all the boxes for me (eg call recording and custom gestures eg long press back to force close), however there were a few little niggles that custom ROMs have with other manufacturers - the camera is usually closed source so you can't quite get all out of it, and also I was having issues with pocket detection where a message or call would turn my screen on and then it would either answer in my pocket or mess with the audio player on the lock screen. Not had any of those issues so far with the Pixel.

However curved screens suck balls, and the cheap screen protector I got is already cracked lol.

haha, dang. man the stock camera pixel 6 app is horseshit for me, even taking .raw photos it applies filters and effects that there's no way to disable.

over been wondering if camera apps are the alt option to go for, but i take videos much more often than I take photos anyway, so it isn't too frustrating...except every single time I want to take a candid picture haha.

yea curved screens can get outta here.

have you tried grapheneos? everyone was encouraging me to try that on one of my pixel 6 rants some months ago.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was tempted by GrapheneOS, my son used it for a while on his older Pixel, but I always resented all the diva drama from the devs. AXP.OS seemed like an easy transition, basically using the same ROM as my old phone (AXP.OS is a DivestOS fork).

yea that one dev sounded like such a douche I stopped considering it, didn't really want to be associated with the whole scene.

well nice, enjoy and good luck on finding your next preferred client app.
