Chinese smartphones dominated the Russian market in the first half of 2023, exceeding 70% of all sales, leading consumer electronics retailer M.Video-Eldorado said, up from about 55% last year.
I’m sorry for the delay. I’ve come to really rely on stuff like Nova launcher that’s you slide your finger on an icon down to open one app or function. And slide up to offer another.
So for each icon you can conceivably open three different apps and save a room on your home screen.
So for instance if I slide up on the icon I use for kiwi browser it’ll go directly to the YouTube music web page. If I swipe down it’ll go to the YouTube video web page. (Kiwi supports desktop extension so I have the proper ad blockers and sponsor block). So I no longer need to use those two shortcuts to take up space on my homepage. And I basically do this with all of my primary icons.
My Google keep icon I swipe down for keep voice note and I swipe up for a regular note. On the camera app I swipe down to open the video and I swipe up to look at the gallery.
They also offered things like customizable gestures which are great bc I use a double tap to prompt my remote control. I’m an occasionally I’ll use the stock launcher on my pixel or a Samsung device but eventually I get frustrated by the limitations. Stuff like Nova launcher or lawn chair just offer more customizations than most stock launchers.
In fairness I have not tried mi UI So I don’t know the extent to which customizations are allowed but it is very rare for stock launchers to support the varied customizations of third party launchers like Nova. Where you can conceivably make your home screen look like anything you want.
2 months is a bit of a delay lol, thanks for the reply.
MIUI is really limited in customisation. It’s good enough in a lot of areas but really not great. It’s got gestures but I’m nlt really a fan of that so I don’t know how good it is.
Nova sounds absolutely loony and I’m definitely trying it if I root!
They don’t work with third party launchers. At least that’s true of their flagship devices like the mi 11 ultra. That is a deal breaker for me.
Before I looked a bit into it I didn’t even know launchers could be installed without rooting.
Are there features that you want/need that the stock launcher doesn’t have or are you writing it off because of the restriction?
