I’m almost done migrating away from /e/ but I thought it might be worth it to leave one last post here.
I would have liked to see murenacloud blossom and come along further in the past few years, but it seems to have degraded instead. My wishes for all you /e/ users: sync that actually works across all features: photos/docs/contacts/calendar/etc, 100% reliably with little downtime. Email/Snappymail that performs faster than it does, and servers that are rarely down and not afflicted with ‘request is aborted’ error messages, or murenacloud servers just being down period.
/e/ OS is one of the better offerings out there, but the phone ↔ murenacloud synergy is just not good enough to waste anymore time on. I’ve found that using Lineage again and ‘rolling my own’ is just about equal to all the additional band-aids I’ve had to use with /e/ OS as it sits.
I’ll keep an eye on /e/, who knows it may come around the corner. Hopefully something else comes along before that.
This sounds like normal App usage (moving a map, scrolling in browsers or messengers).
How would the OS know that a user wants to have the quick settings instead and not interact with the App they are using?
The name has changed to Open Android Backup: https://www.openandroidbackup.me.
(Important to know when you restore the backup, a zip-file, the path to the file has to be without apostrophes. I made the ‘mistake’ to drag and drop the file to the terminal, and then you get ‘pathtofile.zip’). Open Android Backup backs up pretty much everything, but not e-mails. With root privileges it could take the e-mail data too, in theory.
If you want full access to your droid, you’d have to root it with Magisk and take a backup solution like Neo Backup.
Thanks.
That would be nice.
I was thinking that installing Trebuchet itself (which is already well known by many users) might be easier, because there is too many launchers out there that we can hardly know which one works better until we try each of them.
I dream of having only one secure, as can be device for my phone and desktop needs.
I would like a desktop environment to be made like Samsung DEX. DEX can’t do everything but it accomplishes 90% of my needs.
