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?]). 😅
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.
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.
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'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'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 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.
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 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 😢
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.
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?
