Retro quick access on GrapheneOS??? (lemmy.ml)

Yo how'd our hommie sideofburritos get old school quick access on GrapheneOS? Is this just an old version? The video's only a year old! So I'm on GOS Android 13 (aka big dumb quick access button purgatory), totally confused and totally jealous. I can only imagine an out of touch board testing a new android version and telling the developers to make the buttons bigger and dumber while they tell their managers "okay, we can do that" while they die a little inside. This is the most egregious design offense committed in the history of AOSP.

Please tell me this can be fixed with System UI Tuner or some other bullshit that doesn't kill my battery life or privacy.

I tried Shizuku and was able to get it to work with Better Internet Tiles, which allowed me to split out the Data and WiFi tiles. When I tried Fabricate Overlay, it kept crashing when I went to save the overlay.

How do you edit the config.xml file that you suggested? Does that require root?

The Android 11 menu really is so good...

LineageOS maintains these fixes:

seperate internet toggles
old navigation bar(I think)
long press for torch

Such a quality of life improvement

Are you saying you like the big buttons? Because Android 12 is when they were introduced.

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm confused. Quick access was introduced in Android 4 and those buttons were huge.
