Nah I find I can get to everything quicker. The way the menu on the right pops out the names of the apps when you touch it has to be seen to be appreciated.
The button can do anything. I have it set to open my actual phone, i.e. to make a call.
I put an analogue clock on mine too so I don't have to wear a watch on my wrist anymore. Idk my brain just finds analogue clocks easier to interpret (probably thanks to them displaying the time geometrically). I wish Android let you put widgets on the lock screen too
Lol, not really, I've just been a fan of the J-man even before I became religious and I like the fact he's holding a book, because "God teaches by the pen" and all of that. But thank you, TIL about monophysitism! 😅
I was reintroduced to religion after 20+ years of disliking anything related to it by my now wife. My own suffering just made it impossible for me to believe in a kind Creator (the so called 'problem of evil') since childhood and I was too literate and intellectually competent to eat up some Christian creed nonsense (confession doing anything good for your soul, 'faith without works', God being one but somehow also three [and there's a dove involved?]). 😅
I'm sorry that you also have to deal with it. Tracking helps to hold a routine and at least for me to look back and see trends - even lows eventually pass so this current one also eventually will.
Always thought of this, "if my screen ever breaks i will put a one punch man wallpaper". turns out, when my screen did broke it was so terribly fucked up that not even that was viable.
Did a tarot reading from July 2025 to July 2026 and decided to keep it on my homescreen so I can always quick reference what my upcoming months are gonna be like.
Hey, thanks! It's a photo I took almost a decade ago in New Zealand. Here's a link.
I also have a second "swipe" to the homescreen (with about as many apps), but I make a point to keep apps installed to a minimum, and everything else is not used commonly enough to justify a place on the homescreen. 95% of my app opens are probably Firefox, haha.
I try not to use apps other than my browser for privacy reasons, but also I'm super easily distracted so I try to keep the apps I freauently use on my home screen and HUGE so I don't get distracted by other apps or bright colors.
I'm easily distractable so I have the scale cranked up and the color cranked down so I only do what I opened the phone to do. I actually have a dual screen device (extra display on extras of folding phone) so I don't use the top bar when I'm not in app, otherwise I'd care more that it wasn't legible on the homescreen.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. But I can scale the app rows up in the settings. I don't have an issue though, but my app drawer has bigger icons if that's what you mean. Also I think I disabled the dedicated app bar.
I am selfhosting! And yeah, I actually forgot there was a theme on the phone/messaging/camera apps, the theme just came with the OS and I haven't bothered changing anything. The browser isn't themed, it's just the GrapheneOS browser Vanadium.
I have nearly 300 apps, some I access some of them through MIUI's drawer but most are here.
Also I hope I get around to sort it all around again as the folders includes app that I use multiple times a day and I don't access as much the home screen apps.
And I should delete that UCCW widget, I don't read theses infos anymore
It's an alarm that requires a QR code to be scanned to stop ringing.
Otherwise I just disable it and fall back to sleep, even with the QR code I have to put it far away to make sure not to go back to bed
Ahh ofc. What I've found useful is for my alarm to play a spoken word internet radio channel. The constant flow of information gradually wakes my brain up.
Here's a better version, I didn't manage to install the Delta Icon Pack yet through 😔
MIUI made it quite hard to create/package and install our own themes 😢
It's bad android ports of PC flash games.
I'm not sure what they're trying to simulate, because half of them didn't work.
But I assume, it's the former, although there are many genres. Mostly it's just an excuse to pump ads.
It's cool that you've reserved yours for widgets. Plus that earth is beautiful. Reminds me of Androids live wallpapers, which I think it might actually still have
I'm kinda surprised that people are so offended by a homescreen that they're downvoting.
Do you not like my arrangement? Or is there something about live tiles themselves (what? They're just like widgets)? What is it that has you downvoting over something so benign?
My home screens all looks like this
took the dog a while to get used to
I like how you've chosen to keep it free of apps
I tried .... but does not work with folding screens, it requires rolling screens and those are not very practical
True. I too keep most of my apps away in a drawer
Is that the sexy lingerie equivalent of doors?
Yes. Lemmy isn't as frigid as reddit ;)
Aww! That cartoony style is very cute
8/10

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mustn't it get tiring having to search through the apps alphabetically?
Also what does the button do?
Nah I find I can get to everything quicker. The way the menu on the right pops out the names of the apps when you touch it has to be seen to be appreciated.

I see, interesting
a fellow niagara launcher user!
It's the only way!
9/10, just wondering why the icons are minimalized to dots
I like it that way. Get more on the screen. Icons look pretty but are rather pointless with this layout.
5/5
I like the radical choices made here. It must look good on an OLED screen
10/10. Perfect.
I have a tiny phone
Edit: any launchers you think would work well on it?
oh damn there are still tiny phones nowadays?
There sure are! :P This is the King Kong Mini 2
Kinda cute, actually!
Yes that's the new Deftones in my ears at sunset 😎
I know this wasn't your addition but I really like Apple's Dynamic Island
It's great except when wanting to scroll to the top somewhere and accidentally opening the music player…
Same screen in Dark Mode:
Yeah, sometimes I miss iOSs scroll to the top gesture
I recently upgraded to Niagara pro for the theme and icons. I think I like it pretty good.
Home Screen. A fair few of my apps have swipe up or down gestures to open other related apps. I also have a 2nd page for the app drawer.
I also don't feel like sleeping....
10/10. You REALLY like kurzgesagt.
That's quite clever actually. I like the Kurzgesagt aesthetic.
Thanks! I had something similar with a different wallpaper and kind of stuck with the idea.
I like the little clock bottom centre
I put an analogue clock on mine too so I don't have to wear a watch on my wrist anymore. Idk my brain just finds analogue clocks easier to interpret (probably thanks to them displaying the time geometrically). I wish Android let you put widgets on the lock screen too

Interesting. When/why did you choose to take on religion?
I was reintroduced to religion after 20+ years of disliking anything related to it by my now wife. My own suffering just made it impossible for me to believe in a kind Creator (the so called 'problem of evil') since childhood and I was too literate and intellectually competent to eat up some Christian creed nonsense (confession doing anything good for your soul, 'faith without works', God being one but somehow also three [and there's a dove involved?]). 😅
I see, understandable!
I don't doubt this is real. Not for a moment. I've seen too many of your comments.
The only thing fske about it is that the wallpaper actually just has a cartoon/barbie doll crotch and nothing actually explicit is being hidden.
8/10, the wallpaper could fit the rest of the theme better (and it looks blursed with the spotify widget)
Pride/10 (9/10)
I have this one so my screen looks less broken.
Ahahahaha
Also I have that same mood tracker app
it's good, helps me reflect sometimes - in addition to journaling
I'm struggling with depression so it helps me track that. It's dangerous how easy it is to forget you are depressed and get used to it.
I'm sorry that you also have to deal with it. Tracking helps to hold a routine and at least for me to look back and see trends - even lows eventually pass so this current one also eventually will.
Agreed. Fortunately mine has a clear cause and I'm working day by day to remove that cause

I kinda like it, but fuck Xiaomi for disabling gestures unless you use their launcher.
Used Kvaesitso previously.
I love that cloud background. Your whole home screen looks graphically very streamlined

Using your homescreen as a bookmark screen (FF lets you make shortcuts) is definitely a life hack
Tidy/10. 👍
Nothing, but a beautiful picture, which i like to change often.
I dont use my phone that much to have all the apps at quick access on home screen.
That truly is beautiful. Good on you for not being addicted like most of us
FOSS only, no proprietary spyware here. Daily driver on Android 15.
Woah that's unique! Do you have a tiny phone or did you just crank the scaling up?
Huge phone, big app icons.
I try not to use apps other than my browser for privacy reasons, but also I'm super easily distracted so I try to keep the apps I freauently use on my home screen and HUGE so I don't get distracted by other apps or bright colors.
6.5/10, the text (both the app title and the top bar) is unreadable, and do you really use that few apps?
I'm easily distractable so I have the scale cranked up and the color cranked down so I only do what I opened the phone to do. I actually have a dual screen device (extra display on extras of folding phone) so I don't use the top bar when I'm not in app, otherwise I'd care more that it wasn't legible on the homescreen.
Does the app bar magnify like the launcher on Macs?
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. But I can scale the app rows up in the settings. I don't have an issue though, but my app drawer has bigger icons if that's what you mean. Also I think I disabled the dedicated app bar.
8/10, you got the macOS bar down there.
borrowed your login vs. tailscale shortcut folders :)
KWGT widget is very WIP though)
Shoutout 4get, shoutout my homie Notes widget, Shoutout Marvis
Does look nice
Oooo, you're selfhosting. Maybe.
7/10, mimimalistic but could be way better if the icon theme applied to all apps.
I am selfhosting! And yeah, I actually forgot there was a theme on the phone/messaging/camera apps, the theme just came with the OS and I haven't bothered changing anything. The browser isn't themed, it's just the GrapheneOS browser Vanadium.
Your phone is my dream.
I have nearly 300 apps, some I access some of them through MIUI's drawer but most are here.

What does QRAlarm do?
It's an alarm that requires a QR code to be scanned to stop ringing. Otherwise I just disable it and fall back to sleep, even with the QR code I have to put it far away to make sure not to go back to bed
Ahh ofc. What I've found useful is for my alarm to play a spoken word internet radio channel. The constant flow of information gradually wakes my brain up.
I'm sorry to see you have a loneliness folder :-(
No worries, it's a sarcastic name 😁 I wanted to avoid something long and boring like "communication" or "social media"
9/10, good use of transperancy and organization.
Here's a better version, I didn't manage to install the Delta Icon Pack yet through 😔 MIUI made it quite hard to create/package and install our own themes 😢
Is FapWall a masturbation app?
I guess, I downloaded a bunch of porn games (like 70) to see what happened.... And now I'm too lazy to delete them... (It's about 10GB ..)
Bruh
Good excuse lol
Sure
Please explain porn games. Is it like a sex simulator? Or kinks?
It's bad android ports of PC flash games. I'm not sure what they're trying to simulate, because half of them didn't work. But I assume, it's the former, although there are many genres. Mostly it's just an excuse to pump ads.
I'm so stoked they ported SuperTux to mobile. It's great on my tablet
Yes!!!! I play it quiet often with my boyfriend, and it runs on practically anything!
Also if you still use Reddit the 3rd party app Red Reader is still officially supported
Thanks :3
I used to love rif, when I still used it. I only have it when I need specific answers :) The site is TRASHED.
What's the background btw?
It's the Standard from "dirty unicorns" ROM.. I'm too lazy to change it, also the ROM is meh... It comes with gapps!!
What a mess
So long as it works!
I <3 Material you
And FOSS
Cropped location to not dox self anymore than already have.
It's cool that you've reserved yours for widgets. Plus that earth is beautiful. Reminds me of Androids live wallpapers, which I think it might actually still have
Lmao not a single image loaded
Dx
Nice
Windows phone for life
There is more when I scroll down, but I figured this was enough. Rather show the live tiles working than the last few rows
