this just seems like customisation theatre while they pull the ability to actually customise away from everyone.
Its also not that interesting lol. You can resize/reorder some buttons and change the hue of the theme
With Android 17, Google is adding a new Quick Settings layout editor that allows you to arrange pretty much all of the toggles and settings. You can choose which quick toggles to make into bigger tiles and even move the brightness slider and the media player around.
More theming options will make it to the final build. For instance, you can tune the hue of the four main colors via a slider, and some blur effects will also be added.
Are any of those options for customization ones that allow or encourage users to install apps from their source of choice? No? Well f**k all the way off google with your wannabe Apple bullshit.
Technically, they’ve been forced to
the ability to customize the Quick Settings menu
Meh.
Wake me when they bring back the ability to customize lock screen shortcuts. And widgets on the lock screen. And being able to open certain apps/activities without unlocking the phone.
… and installing any app we want.
Really wish they’d work with Samsung to allow custom fonts again - or at the very work with OpenDyslexia et al to get those fonts in as defaults…
Nah, no thanks , happy with my degoogled pixel phone running graphene.
Like gives a sahit. Android is dead
Will it give me permission to install apps that are not registered with its devs under a protectionism plot to get richer? Will it do that?
It comes with crazy glue so you glue the phone to the back of your neck or they release all the nudes you posted. If you take your Android 17 it goes kaboom!
Now, you’re given a map and a weapon. Every morning they will call an area safe or not. The world is divided into 1mile squares. If your zone is not safe you will have to run to a safe zone or fight another Android 17 user to death.
Lots of new features to identify you, calculate how much you make and how to best extract your money so they can give it to rich assholes.
