Spite mostly. I have small QoL improvements, but mostly because Google says I can't do what I want with my device.

Specific reasons:

• AdAway - ad blocking, can't live without
• SnapEnhance - ad blocking & other tweaks to make SC more usable
• Revanced (w/o microgapps) - YouTube mod w/ sponsorblock & returned dislikes
• PixelExpert - misc UI tweaks like separate WiFi & mobile data tiles, as well as a 3 wide qs panel
• SmartSpacer - Custom complications on my at a glance screen. Can do useful things like show me my gas rewards card when in range of a gas stations WiFi, notifications for missed calls, texts, and emails that I might have dismissed from my tray
• MACsposed - let's me spoof my MAC address. Used it to snag free WiFi on planes
• Swift Backup - backs my phone up to my server every night
• GAppsMod - enable call recording & other features on Google dialer & messages
• DarkTricks - additional misc toggles, some overlap with PixelExpert but occasionally has better implementations (power button flashlight, volume keys to skip tracks, etc)

No longer working:

• Xposed edge pro - let you bind a bunch of gestures to different actions or fly outs from any screen. Hasn't been functional in Android 14 and it seems like the dev has dipped. I genuinely miss having an app fly out (but not enough to buy a Samsung)

Do they need that experience? Having had both experiences I do agree it's much easier now. Even if your only experience is recent, if someone says they stopped because of how hard it was it's valid to say how hard it isn't any longer

This is just so we can get pictures of the moon vampires

Honestly how fucking dare they mess with communication like that, especially with no notice. I've been missing messages from my roommate and dad with no sign of anything being misconfigured. It's one thing for things to be inadvertently broken from rooting, but doing it on purpose under the table is disgusting behavior

Does a repository with only a README and license really count as a "new framework"

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it

I think I'd prefer to use a bidet...

I was curious

It wasn't half bad tbh. Air fried hotdogs are the way to go though

Go ahead, reverse image search it

All of my credit history is in Discover. I'm absolutely fucked with this.
