Try Nova Launcher if you want the stock feel, with some extra features. It's in beta 5. You can install it to work as your stock launcher as well. I'm using it while I wait for CM9 to be finished and Trebuchet completed
thanks for your help everyone

Cleanest ROM for Galaxy S7

Hey guys!
Okay so I'm quite new to this entire android thing as I switched from iPhone just before the summer and so I decided to get an Samsung S7 but I think it's so ugly and bleh compared to what the Stock android looks like on a friends P9 and was wondering if it's possible to get a clean android ROM and where in that case?
Thanks on before hand for answers!
Start with themes, the android 6.0 looks pretty aosp'ish.
There are some pretty good AOSP ish' themes on the Samsung theme store. I downloaded the "nougat" theme from the store and let me tell you it looks pretty damn AOSP ish'

As you switched from iPhone recently, i assume you don't know about launchers?
It changes the whole look and feel of your phone in a few sec.
Try Google Now launcher, Pixel launcher (my fav), Nova Launcher, ....
I believe the title says rom, not themes and launchers.
I personally use Basicplus. It has no bugs, a better battery life and is overall smoother then the stock rom.

Yes but i think an iPhone user without much experience who just wants a different look maybe could try some launchers first

Well, if he hadn't any knowledge about roms then he wouldn't have known about different android skins. Plus rooting and installing a custom rom on the s7 is quite simple. Though I also use a launcher on my s7 and Nova is my choice.
You could browse the development section.
There are alot of debloated and clean roms out there

Honor 6X UI

Hi, new to community, heard some weird things about the UJ on Honor phones, I understand that some of these issues have been taken on board, for the 6X and Honor 8 have the usability issues been cleaned up?
I don't see any usability issue. What do you mean?

Although the EMUI not good enough, better than TouchWiz though , I don't see any bugs or issues for a daily driver.

Personally I think TouchWiz is much better than EMUI. However the next iteration of EMUI should be allot better than it's current iteration.

It's kind of funny that ppl compare EMUI with TouchWiz, sounds like HUAWEI's UI design already failed.

No.issues with emui, no bugs
one complaint i have is you cant sort your apps in alphabetical order this drives me nuts. Also, it doesn't play nice when trying to use a different Launcher such as google or Nova. It reverts back to the stock launcher on its own.

Animation anomaly after Oneplus Launcher update V4.4.47/8

Having an issue here with what is best described as an animation anomaly.
There was recently an Oneplus launcher update V4.4.47. After running the update my 3rd party launchers exhibit a peculiar blinking when closing out apps using gestures (swiping up from the center of the bottom of the screen).
Now, I have my animator scale animation set to 0.5. When set to 1.0 the blinking doesn't occur, so this issue is definitely as a result of the reduced animation scale. I'm really not a fan of fancy animations so would hate to permanently run at 1.0. Having said that, the blinking really cheapens the ride and detracts from the over all user experience.
Anyone able to replicate or is already experiencing this on their OP 7 Pro? Nova, Niagara, Squarehome launcher all exhibit the same anomaly. Oneplus native launcher works perfectly.
My setup: Oneplus 7 Pro, rooted, Magisk 20.4, TWRP latest version, Firmware 10.3.3 21AA, No Limits xXx 11.4 (issue persists on stock setup though), stock kernel....
I've recorded a short video illustrating the issue.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=detUAaAJSyQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbTJArwCxMU
If absolutely no one else can replicate this issue, then the issue must be mine to own and resolve via a clean install... anyone?
Im on 0.25 Animation rate and doest have this... Also on 0.5or 1.0 nothing..
yes, it is happening to me as well. it is normal because of android 10 launcher and recents integration. i think you can solve this by quickswitch magisk module with a supported launcher like lawnchair 2. But there is no fix with nova launcher.

Thing is I can replicate the issue using 3 different launchers, Niagara, Nova and Squarehome. Also if I revert to an older version of Oneplus Launcher IE any version before 4.4.47, it works perfectly....
I've read of Android 10 and gesture issues with 3rd party launchers, but I'm not sure that is what I'm experiencing here...?
I could be wrong of course...
Hell man, so I did a fresh install, no change. Definitely this OnePlus launcher update that is causing this animation anomaly. Reported it as a bug over at OnePlus.

Nothing like a fresh install though. Using stock launcher, this year old phone still remains a beast!! Love it!!
Sent from my GM1910 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I am seeing this too. Thing is though it doesn't happen every time on mine but probably 8/10 times.
I'd be happy with stock launcher tbh but for the shelf over the Google feed.
Sent from my GM1913 using Tapatalk
I'm finding myself using stock launcher more often too.
As good as Nova is, stock just that little bit more accurate and responsive. The animations are so incredibly smooth and clean vs Nova. I'm finding it hard to resist. Just hope OP sort this out soon.

Yes hope this also. Its better than on the beginning but third party launchers that are smooth on other devices feels slower on this phone...
How animations should behave. This is Nova with OnePlus launcher version 4.1.3 installed.

Am sticking to version 4.1.3, hoping this gets resolved but not holding my breath. It's a bug that barely even registers on the radar...
No one else experiencing anything similar?
Hi, have the same issue but while using the stock launcher from one plus. Sometime when I leave an app the app drawer refreshes. Or instead of leaving the app and go to the homepage it launch one of the apps in the background. I think it is happening since a month now. Very weird issue it use to be the most perfect launcher i ever had. You think it's related to the launcher version? If so where do u find the latest version without theses bugs?
I'm on 4.4.2 I tried to install this:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl...213049-b383d6d-android-apk-download/#variants
But it says, app not installed... Do I need root to install it?

Latest official version is available on the PlayStore, 4.4.8, release date 29th May 2020... Are you running a beta? And what model OP?
I have the one plus 7 pro with the lastest official OTA 10.0.6 no root.
I figured out to install that .apk I had to unistall the updates one plus launcher via the PlayStore first . So now i'm running 4.5.4.200618213049.b383d6d beta. So far I have not encountered theses bug but its only been few hours of usage.

Good to hear, I might give it a bash too... Pretty desperate, although there's nothing really wrong with version 4.1.3...

Question Lineage OS 20 makes Pixel 7 Pro a much better phone(especially with Nikgapps, core, or basic)

Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?
One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS
Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.
it does on pixel phones, its just placebo
Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted . Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare

Do you even have pixel features like the music search or lens/select text and images in recents?

You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong
Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.
What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!

Call screening works if you install Google Phone app. Works flawlessly.

So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?
Have a question for the op or anyone running lineage OS 20 does this rom work well with Galaxy, or Samsung watches? I mean do they play nice together?
Guys help
installed LOS 20 with full nikgapps, and missed one option - weather under the clock on pixel launcher (there was one option in settings to switch it on on stock rom but missing on LOS rom somewhere in android intelligence settings or something that).
Any suggestions?

Thank you. It's been a long time. I've been on stock for a long time thought I would pull the trigger. But now I'm having trouble with Platform Tools. Hey I do have a question I know this is off topic but what version of platform tools do I need to use?
