Because this post is tagged ‘user-experience’ I’ll leave my impressions here.
After spending a few hours trying to install (the wrong way!) stock Android 10, then a few more flashing to Q, I’m pretty much over all this shit at this point. The process this time was pretty different, as I was mistakenly under the impression that upgrading to Q would be more similar to installing previous builds in the past.
As for Q itself…it appears to be the same old /e/ UI with some Lineage infrastructure under the hood. I was hoping to see some bigger changes, specifically having the ability to DELETE widgets, especially the useless ones located on the left screen. Why are users still not allowed to delete, move, edit any widgets? Also, why is it still impossible to arrange apps however I want without being forced to the auto grid alignment?
There is also the very annoying Calendar notification that cannot be turned off. I know you guys are aware of it, but it’s a major distraction and should be fixed asap. When I tried running /e/ on an Essential PH-1 a while back it had the same problem - there were other bugs on that phone but the Calendar notification made me go back to Lineage. Now it’s happening on the S9 and I’m seriously thinking about flashing backward at this point.
