App Settings are not available anymore

Hallo,
hope somebody can help me with my little problem. I am using Nexus 5 with cm-13.0-20160313. Since updating on cm 13 i have some small issues with launcher. Some setting are not available anymore, like animated scroll effects. now i can only scroll my apps up and down and choose the colour (dark or white), but i dont like it. I want to use some animated draw setting i have once with cm 12 and cm13.0-20151211 (only in these version of cm13 i had all settings). Do i made an error durring updating or have i to install some stuff new? Are these features not available anymore?
Thank you for helping me.

Android Lollipop displays Pie emojis and above as blobs

Basically, whenever I install emojis from Android Pie and above, the round emojis are only displayed in Facebook and Messenger, everywhere else the blobs are displayed. Only the ones from Oreo displayed correctly. Are there any possible ways to fix that? I'm using (actually still have to use) an Oppo A39, running ColorOS 3 on top of Android L.

Updated Pixel 3 XL to Android 12 Beta 1! Woohoo!

After watching, 2021 Google I/O I was so excited for the new Android 12 w/ Material You!
And so I immediately updated my Pixel 3 XL from Android 11 to Android 12 Beta 1 on the release day itself! And It's nothing but amazing so far!
I see smoother animation and less stuttering while navigating around the phone. Material You has drastically changed most of the user interface!
So many changes has been made it to Android 12 (S)!

Can't wait for the next Android 12 Beta release.
Biggest question I have about Android 12: did they fix immersive mode? Google removed it in Android 11, so now I'm sure the battery, cell signal, and other status bar icons are burned into my screen...
What about Android 12 beta 2?
What's battery life like?
I need to freeze half of my apps just to get through the day on a single charge on Android 11.

A way to install newer goodlock plugins on one ui 2.5

Hi there
I was wondering if there is any way to apply the new homeup with the task changer on one ui 2.5 or any other good lock plugins for that matter
Samsung is only updating them for android 11 and was really hoping to get them on my phone
BTW I have a note 9 so no updates for me

Android 12 - horrible UI change

Greetings everyone,
I've recently bought a new phone with android 12 preinstalled ( Xperia 5 II ) and I can't express how ugly and awfully that UI is being designed.
On top of that lack of customization is getting on my nerves as well as some of the functionalities, despite how it looks this is not only a rant, I really want your help.
-Notification bar ( completely reworked, swiping once shows only 4 HUGE tiles instead of 6 as it should be, and swiping twice 8 instead of 9)
-Notification Tile toggles ( lack of wifi, mobile data, nfc, 3G/4G+ switch toggle)
-Recent apps Tab ( checking overview tab shows apps vertically positioned, each taking almost full screen preview and having to navigate through all of them to reach CLEAR ALL)
-Unable to set main Homescreen page
I've 'fixed' some things to my liking by using different launcher, adb to restore wifi,data toggles(functional but not showing whether it's pressed or not) and still got some things that I'm stuck with.
With all that said my question is: What would my options here be? Could I 'flash' (replace) only the UI version without rooting ( that was maybe too stupid of a question but I'm wondering)
Is it possible that I rollback to A11 or even force upgrade to A13 (phone wont get any further updates past A12) and retrieve functions mentioned above? (If I go on this path would only use official android stock version for my device, not rooting, hopefully without losing any functionalities)
Please give me your thoughts on this as I would be very grateful for every reply!
Thanks in advance!
