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 āmistakeā to drag and drop the file to the terminal, and then you get āpathtofile.zipā). 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, youād have to root it with Magisk and take a backup solution like Neo Backup.
I mean on home screen only (similarly to Trebuchet does).
Ah, I see.
In case the new Bliss launcher version coming up doesnāt offer this, it looks like Trebuchet will be installable from /e/OS 2.0 on ā¦ Week 16 2024: Development and Testing Updates - #11 by Manoj

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 canāt do everything but it accomplishes 90% of my needs.

Anybody who wants automatic call recording
I have it, but it needs a bit of work (nothing hard)
this app needs to be installed in /system/priv-app/
you need to enable usb debugging and rooted debugging, then plug phone in usb
adb -d root
adb -d remount
you may need to reboot
after reboot
adb -d root
adb -d remount
change directory to BCR-āversionā-release
adb -d push system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-com.chiller3.bcr.xml /system/etc/permissions/
adb -d push system/priv-app/com.chiller3.bcr/ /system/priv-app/
adb -d shell pm install /system/priv-app/com.chiller3.bcr/app-release.apk
setup BCR and you should have automatic call recordings. This is by far best recording app I ever used. I have used free, paid, FOSS call recording apps and none been that good. It simply works.
be warned phone with two slots for firmware will loose all this and would require reinstall after update of firmware
Canāt really include it by default as call recording is not legal in some countries where /e/ sell their phones. In LineageOS, the call recording feature built-in to the Phone / Dialer app is enabled or disabled according to the country in which the software is used - see this file for details. /e/OS includes the same file in their Phone / Dialer app, so I assume they take the same approach as LOS, and only allow call recoding in countries where it is not illegal.
If /e/ were to include this automatic call recording app, they would at least need to enable or disable it in the same way as manual call recording. Even that may not be OK, as in some countries call recording is allowed, but only with the consent of both parties to the call. if every call is automatically recorded, it is not possible to obtain consent from the other party before starting to record.

I am aware of phone recording limitations in law. I donāt suggest to include BCR in e/OS, as it would be brought down sooner or later. I rather give people, who wants automatic phone call recording and have sufficient skill, enough information to install fully working BCR.

Hello, one of my wishes would be /e/os has a native Wireguard VPN client.
Better Music app functionality! Specifically, Iām in DESPERATE need of a faster way to scroll ā PLEASE give us a grab-and-drag scroll bar, ideally with letter headings like the Contacts app has. Iād also love it if the quick player in the notifications bar would stick around for more than like three milliseconds after pausing my music, because itās a huge pain having to reopen the app to un-pause what I was just listening to a second ago.
Overall, the BlissLauncher experience could stand to be a lot smoother and more reliable ā Iāve had a lot of glitches, stutters, and weird responses.
I donāt know if itās doable via software alone, but I would also love 5G support on my Teracube 2e ā as it stands, I canāt send or receive any MMS messages any more, and itās been causing all sorts of fun problems.

I see 1 key gap remaining: tightening Parental Controls.
Current implementation is a good 1st step, but its full of holes / easy to go around like ios implementation, so itās not usable yet. Problem with not usable parental controls is that it does not protect kids or even adults from improper content and from mindlessly scrolling or gaming for hours.
Without a solid Parental Control, Murena / e os phone is unfortunately a net negative in my life (sooner or later I get caught up in mindless game or news scrolling for hrs and fall behind at work and at family life.) I also cant give Murena phone to my kids yet b/c itās too dangerous for them / will negatively impact their lives, like iPhone (which destroys kidsā lives on purpose āwhat happens on iPhone stays on iPhoneā as Apple says)
For now Iām switching to Wisephone and Murena phone will go in my drawer. However if e os fixes Parental Controls, Murena will be my #1 choice for phone, for me and my kids, b/c itāll be both (a) free of dangerous media rabbit-holes and (b) privacy respecting. (I gave some ideas RE Parental Controls on other posts, others had some excellent ideas also.) Best of luck!
Hello,
I use my phone with two SIM cards, one personal and one professional.
For me what is missing is to be able to assign a SIM card for each number.
This function is present on the Samsung phone or by installing the Google contact and phone applications

My wish would be .
That they would be a lot faster in rolling out , the Android versions .
/e/ is now on Android 13 while most custom roms have already been released on Android 14, and I myself have Android 15 running on a Redmi Note 10 Pro.
What would also be handy if the rom also had trackercontrol built in , and a better Text to Speech
In my opinion Espeak sounds like a foreigner who has Adhd

/e/os is based on Lineage os, and there are implementations to make a more degoogle /e/os version of it, and also tests.
Why bother with the pointless numbers game anyway, when in practical situations when the number really might matter somebody with an iPhone will show up and effortlessly win with iOS 18
