I installed good lock and themepark but haven't delved into it. I was trying to get my icons straight. The issue I have is that on BLACKBERRY (shoutout to @TimRock), when I installed an icon pack, even if there wasn't a certain icon, it would modify them so they all had the same effect to blend in. I use a glass icon pack, same one as i had on my key 2, if it's not in the pack, it puts it in a circle shape, but doesn't have the glass effect.
You need to add several apps from Good Lock. Camera Assistant to get that 2x zoom and other feature. Sound Assistant. Keys Cafe to customize the samsung keyboard. And One Handed+ for more convenience.

Yeah it's the same thing. Below you see the icons in the bubble, that's how it's supposed to look. The dyson one is how it looks if the icon pack doesn't have it. The spectrum is how they look if I install an app after the icon pack. Another thing on my BLACKBERRY (shoutout to @TimRock) was that if I installed apps they automatically had the icon theme. Samsung/android doesn't do that. BBos and webOS were so much simpler.

You can do that but I think you need Nova Launcher

Who are you Android guys trying to convince that an Android phone is better than an iPhone? Most of the people on this site aren't the target demographic Apple are going for with their products. So, the videos showing the "little" things that Android does that Apple doesn't is just wasted energy. Like what you like. Purchase the device that does what you need it to do. To try to convince others that your phone is better just feels juvenile & petty to me.

Fuck them. I use Android because Siri doesn't understand the words that are coming out of my fucking mouth

I used talk to text every time because I talk faster than I type. I had an iPhone for 57 days. One day while texting my mother I said something and Siri change my words to ask my mother for a sexual favor which is not what the fuck I said

Luckily, I saw it before I hit send and I returned that phone the very next day. Fuck apple and iPhone

Which usually people with that half bitten apple logo does when your bubble isn’t a certain color hence why this thread exist
You're talking about kids. Ain't no kids on this site. Someone posted an article about Gen Z. And kats took it as a personal attack. Let the youngins like what they like & dislike what they don't. As they get older, they'll see that there's more to life than text color. Right now, it's a big deal to them.

Literally there’s a grown individual in this thread calling people broke cause they don’t have iPhones and saying they’re old or losers for not having one. Literally multiple pages of insults aimed at non iPhone users yet you claiming only kids have petty issues. Nah homie it’s lots of adults that say dumbshit that own 1. They get offended when people return fire. See some people like to swing at others and don’t like when people counter or react. Nah if you shoot expect to get return fire. That’s pretty much how it is. Me being a non iPhone user I’ve heard many dumb remarks from grown ass men who own them. They get sensitive when you give them the same energy back

I switched to iPhone in 2020 and this is my biggest complaint. I used voice to text all day long with my android. Everything else is cool but Siri fucking sucks at understanding my Country ass.

I used talk to text all the time, including now.

I never understood how Siri spells out COMMA. Who the fuck spells out COMMA insteadofnjust ising it? And period. Same. Although period is occasionally spelled out, but far less often than it's used in a sentence.

When I considered what I was potentially gaining from an iPhone it was less than what I was giving up in the freedom of being able to talk to text while I'm driving or when I'm just sitting here watching Justified City primeval

The ends didn't justify the means, especially since I don't have a connection nor am I being paid by Apple or Android. I might as well stay where the fuck I'm at.

I can FaceTime with Google Meet. WTF else do I need an iPhone that android can't do?

Blackmagic Design just released an iPhone camera app connected to their cloud ecosystem. Their Davinci Resolve is the best video editing/color grading software out right now. It allows you to connect your iPhone to your Blackmagic Cloud account and automatically update the online project with footage you shoot on the iPhone (proxies or full videos or both) by uploading to the cloud seamlessly.

Plus it gives you professional control of the camera and it's free.

:smh:

The classic ‘Tri-tone’ has been replaced by ‘Rebound’. However, not everyone is a fan of the new notification sound … and iOS offers no way to change it back.

Since iOS 17 has been released, iPhone customers have been voicing their thoughts about the new sound on social media. While some people are expressing enthusiasm for the new tone, others are not liking the change.

Some of this merely comes down to personal preference of course, about what sounds people prefer. There is a tangible concrete complaint, though. A lot of users are saying that the new ‘Rebound’ sound is simply too quiet. Whereas ‘Tri-tone’ was a relatively loud ding, Rebound is a more subtle combination of two quieter notes, with some reverb echo.


It sounds like this only affects third party apps that don’t have a custom alert sound, like Facebook and Instagram. This is truly a disaster for those who need instant notification of likes and comments.


Especially when the phone is buried inside a pocket or purse, the muffled noise is harder to hear than ‘Tri-tone’. Users are saying they are missing incoming notifications as a result. The associated haptic vibration is also weaker, and harder to feel.

Unfortunately for the critics, Apple does not currently offer a way to select a different app notification alert sound, or change the volume level of these sounds.
