#Android App layouts

[drawnandredrawn]

Quickie cooldown doodle of cult!Vox on the android to mellow after work. Inevitably I will draw him again, as I have my own cult baggage (and extremely specific cross gonk) to load him up with, but it was nice to have my first shot something low pressure

how we feeling about the guns n roses phone layout :3

My jingle and notification sound is now Tomodachi Life theme. Once I make my own icons and decide on a style, it'll be all over

Reasons Discord's New Mobile Layout Update is Bad

The reply function is redundant, as most people are used to just holding down and tapping the reply option at the top. If they're going to change it, they shouldn't have gotten rid of the member list for this functionally bad option. It also doesnt line up with any other platform in terms of swipe direction.

The member list is gone from easy viewing

It doesnt auto open your last group chat/DM making multiple simultaneous conversations far more difficult and longer

It's already broken my app once (Locked all channels including other servers' to one channel. I could not access anything except that and my DMs.)

You can not see images that have been pinned in the pins tab.

The search function was fine before. Where did your before, during and after date search go??

All of Discord's individuality is disappearing.

Getting used to a mobile format actually impedes usage of the desktop format and likely discourages people from multiplatforming discord because theyre so used to the "intuitiveness" of the new "tailored for mobile" experience

There is no way to CHANGE IT BACK. This is like Tumblr rolling out Tumblr Live without any Disable button At All.

Why are they marketing midnight mode as Something fucking ENTIRELY new??? It has always been a feature on Android as the AMOLED theme???????

DARK MODE IS NO LONGER LOW CONTRAST AND DISCORD IS DEVOLVING INTO AN ACCESSIBILITY NIGHTMARE

Disable swipe-to-reply by activating full-screen Launchpad in Advanced Settings

Discord’s new layout is apparently permanent. Keep sending feedback and rating it one star on all appstores; if you get redirected to the advice article, double tap gove feedback.

If you, too, dislike the theme, head to settings (you can double tap your account picture) and go to Appearance, scroll to New Layout and Send Feedback.

Overall, what they've done is disorientate every single current user on discord, and you cannot avoid it unless you've not updated to the latest discord because this is not an update. It is a feature that has already been on the latest update and is being slowly rolled out, like Tumblr Polls.

Good Luck, and may we send as much feedback as possible and have them make it optional or at the least, revert it. I've already sent in at least seven complaints to discord, commented on their instagram post about the layout and I'm about one star review it on google play and app store.

This isnt just the appearance and vibes being off like the new (ish) app icon, this is a matter of functionality.

Grouped Activity items can now be revealed in detail by clicking them.

You’ll now see a loading indicator when switching Activity tabs.

🛠 Fixed

Fixed a layout issue on the notifications settings page.

🚧 Ongoing

No ongoing incidents to speak of right now.

Oh, you know, just the usual internet browsing experience in the year of 2024

Some links and explanations since I figured it might be useful to some people, and writing down stuff is nice.

First of all, get Firefox. Yes, it has apps for Android/iOS too. It allows more extensions and customization (except the iOS version), it tracks less, the company has a less shitty attitude about things. Currently all the other alternatives are variations of Chromium, which means no matter how degoogled they supposedly are, Google has almost a monopoly on web browsing and that's not great. Basically they can introduce extremely user unfriendly updates and there's nothing forcing them to not do it, and nowhere for people to escape to. Current examples of their suggested updates are disabling/severly limiting adblocks in June 2024, and this great suggestion to force sites to verify "web environment integrity" ("oh you don't run a version of chromium we approve, such as the one that runs working adblocks? no web for you.").

uBlockOrigin - barely needs any explanation but yes, it works. You can whitelist whatever you want to support through displaying ads. You can also easily "adblock" site elements that annoy you. "Please log in" notice that won't go away? Important news tm sidebar that gives you sensory overload? Bye.

Dark Reader - a site you use has no dark mode? Now it has. Fairly customizable, also has some basic options for visually impaired people.

SponsorBlock for YouTube - highlights/skips (you choose) sponsored bits in the videos based on user submissions, and a few other things people often skip ("pls like and subscribe!"). A bit more controversial than normal adblock since the creators get some decent money from this, but also a lot of the big sponsors are kinda scummy and offer inferior product for superior price (or try to sell you a star jpg land ownership in Scotland to become a lord), so hearing an ad for that for the 20th time is kinda annoying. But also some creators make their sponsored segments hilarious.

Privacy Badger (and Ghostery I suppose) - I'm not actually sure how needed these are with uBlock and Firefox set to block any tracking it can, but that's basically what it does. Find someone more educated on this topic than me for more info.

Https Everywhere - I... can't actually find the extension anymore, also Firefox has this as an option in its settings now, so this is probably obsolete, whoops.

Facebook Container - also comes with Firefox by default I think. Keeps FB from snooping around outside of FB. It does that a lot, even if you don't have an account.

WebP / Avif image converter - have you ever saved an image and then discovered you can't view it, because it's WebP/Avif? You can now save it as a jpg.

YouTube Search Fixer - have you noticed that youtube search has been even worse than usual lately, with inserting all those unrelated videos into your search results? This fixes that. Also has an option to force shorts to play in the normal video window.

Consent-O-Matic - automatically rejects cookies/gdpr consent forms. While automated, you might still get a second or two of flashing popups being yeeted.

XKit Rewritten - current most up to date "variation "fork" of XKit I think? Has settings in extension settings instead of an extra tumblr button. As long as you get over the new dash layout current tumblr is kinda fine tbh, so this isn't as important as in the past, but still nice. I mostly use it to hide some visual bloat and mark posts on the dash I've already seen.

YouTube NonStop - do you want to punch youtube every time it pauses a video to check if you're still there? This saves your fists.

uBlacklist - blacklists sites from your search results. Obviously has a lot of different uses, but I use it to hide ai generated stuff from image search results. Here's a site list for that.

Redirect AMP to HTML - redirects links from their amp version to the normal version. Amp link is a version of a site made faster and more accessible for phones by Bing/Google. Good in theory, but lets search engines prefer some pages to others (that don't have an amp version), and afaik takes traffic from the original page too. Here's some more reading about why it's an issue, I don't think I can make a good tl;dr on this.

Also since I used this in the tags, here's some reading about enshittification and why the current mainstream internet/services kinda suck.

Hello longlegs fan base!! Have you ever wanted to make a keyboard using the Longlegs cipher for your phone (specifically IPhone because that’s what I use)? Boy, do I have great news for you!

I made this lovely creation in less than 10 minutes through the app “KBD Maker” (but I’m sure there are other apps, as well as one on Android, that work just as well). Here is where I got the letters and below is what I used for the layout! Now, do with this information what you will (hopefully it’s including more ciphers in your fanfics <3)!!

Retro Mode - Weather Widget

An animated weather widget for Android in pixel art style 👾💜 Now available for Android 12 and up:

https://moertel.app/weather

Pick from different layouts, icon themes and text presets. You can even customise the text yourself with variable placeholders - all with the lovely Retro Mode font.

Or maybe something more minimalistic?

New features and themes are added frequently, and I'm looking forward to feedback and suggestions for the app. :) (Stay tuned for forecasts and animated mini-scenes coming soon!)

cell phone ui updates are the devil. why did you make everything dark mode. turn that off. why is my screen dimming i'm reading that. stop. why did you split out the notification and quick settings. turn that shit off. i have an android bc i don't like iphones, thanks, and i think that was a stupid ui "innovation." why would you make it less convenient. also distressed bc they changed the amount of tiles in the home screen grid and you literally can't go back to 4x5. i have used the same home screen app icons layout for years and it's muscle memory to find all my apps and now i gotta get slightly new muscle memory. it's been half an hour of just trying to get my phone to be normal and not make my brain scream.

hi youre the inaturalist guy to me i just have a question about it, maybe im just not looking hard enough but is it possible to give ids on other peoples observations on the mobile app? I have to assume it is since id assume most of the people who use it use the app but i guess its possible many use the webpage, but idk, if you know that would be helpful lol. i use an iphone and am in NZ if thats important

Yeah the app is... certainly an app. Basically every high-volume identifier is probably going to be using the desktop site

But it is possible! Full disclosure I use android but the app layout SHOULD be the same. If it isn't ill badger one of my friends with an iphone

Here's a random observation from the explore page. Make sure you're in the middle tab(the one with the comment icon, circled here), and you should see the option to both comment and suggest id

Android Mastodon Clients 🌟

A web client is a software application that accesses and displays content from the World Wide Web. In this particular case, Mastodon (and some other Fedi sites).

These apps are here to bring all of your different accounts into one application for easy posting, browsing, and management.

Below, I've reviewed the ones that I've used myself so far. I encourage you to try as many as you can to find the right fit for you!

Rodent- Very minimalist. Very little customization, no access to profile links unless in bio, no direct access to profile. On Playstore

Focus- Popup ads👎On F-Droid/Playstore

Fedilab- Good! Post draft option, notifications filtering, access to profile links, trending tags, trending posts, schedule posts option, font resizing, icon resizing. On F-Droid/Playstore

Tusky- Lots of UI customization, access to profile links, post draftability, post scheduling, trending posts/hashtags, and notifications filtering. Slightly more legible ui compared to Fedilab, though has mostly same features. On F-Droid/Playstore

Subway tooter- More advanced UI customization (for the people into those smaller details). Same as Fedilab & Tusky in usability but comes with a trending posts page. On Playstore

Moshidon- Very similar to the OG Mastodon app in layout. Comes with a few color pallet options. Simplistic and easy to use. On F-Droid/Playstore

ZonePane- Slightly less intuitive UI but entirely still usable. Includes lots of customization in font sizing/spacing, thumbnail sizing, icon shaping, the ability to hide follower/following counts, the ability to hide other numbers such as likes, RT's, etc. Similar to Cohost in this way. Has Banner ADs!! On Playstore

Pachli- Similar UI and customization to Fedilab & Tusky. On F-Droid/Playstore

Tooot- Has a simple UI layout with very few customizable aspects. Font size adjustment is available, as well as light and dark themes. On Playstore

Trunks- Super clean UI with losts of fun features like pinned shortcuts, an exploration page, a trending page, profiles have an engagement gage, and much more. Just a few of the customizable things to look out for are lots of different font options and the ability to hide muted posts from your timeline. On Playstore

Buffer- Makes you sign up for a separate account to use it 👎
