Not the original question, but if you have just a normal "Nest Thermostat" (Not learning or E) it has matter support and you can add it over matter without paying $5
SnapEnhance - ad blocking & other tweaks to make SC more usable
Revanced (w/o microgapps) - YouTube mod w/ sponsorblock & returned dislikes
PixelExpert - misc UI tweaks like separate WiFi & mobile data tiles, as well as a 3 wide qs panel
SmartSpacer - Custom complications on my at a glance screen. Can do useful things like show me my gas rewards card when in range of a gas stations WiFi, notifications for missed calls, texts, and emails that I might have dismissed from my tray
MACsposed - let's me spoof my MAC address. Used it to snag free WiFi on planes
Swift Backup - backs my phone up to my server every night
GAppsMod - enable call recording & other features on Google dialer & messages
DarkTricks - additional misc toggles, some overlap with PixelExpert but occasionally has better implementations (power button flashlight, volume keys to skip tracks, etc)
No longer working:
Xposed edge pro - let you bind a bunch of gestures to different actions or fly outs from any screen. Hasn't been functional in Android 14 and it seems like the dev has dipped. I genuinely miss having an app fly out (but not enough to buy a Samsung)
Do they need that experience? Having had both experiences I do agree it's much easier now. Even if your only experience is recent, if someone says they stopped because of how hard it was it's valid to say how hard it isn't any longer
Honestly how fucking dare they mess with communication like that, especially with no notice. I've been missing messages from my roommate and dad with no sign of anything being misconfigured. It's one thing for things to be inadvertently broken from rooting, but doing it on purpose under the table is disgusting behavior
Personally I use Head Unit Reloaded anyway since they shut android auto for phone screens. It also works to cast to an android tablet if you've got one kicking around
+1 for dbrand. Both times I've contacted support they've immediately sent another but also have tried to fix the issue (first one was a bubble that showed up under the skin on my grip case, they sent a replacement skin and also asked me to try hitting it with a hair dryer. Second one they sent me a 7 pro case instead of an 8 pro. They sent me a replacement and told me I could keep the other)
I remember the "to download this answer this survey and win a free iPad" and being smart enough to know it was a scam but also dumb enough to think it might be real and just enter the info of the vacant house down the road and check it every day to see if it had came
I'm 20. I haven't made it big but I've moved into a place with my best friend, have paid off my car without help from my dad, have a steady job making good money, can work on my own car, and have friends that make good company. I'd say I'm proud from getting all of this in the 2 years since high school
