I know about it but this doesn't really fix the issue because, yet again, that's merely a solution for a repeatable scenario

Kinda. They could suspend warranty if you don't use the vehicle as intended.

And the same should apply to mobile devices: lock me out of your ecosystem, deny updates, suspend warranty, I don't care but simply let me root, unlock bootloader, sideload, jailbreak and all that nice stuff.

I only have Media (shows by default), Ring and Alarm (after expanding) in there. But then again, I'm running a custom rom, based on LineageOS, based on AOSP

Well, that's some solution, thanks . Guess I will do that as well

Well yeah, "Rules" does this as well, but this only works in repeatable scenario

mate, I am fully aware I can do that, but then I am say at work, where it gets loud at times, and therefore wish to have the ringer and notifications call a bit louder than at home. Not only do I have to do that with two different settings, I can't even achieve that using volume buttons and sound panel, but rather have to specifically go to Settings>Sound each time. it's fucking regressive.

And I know some people prefer to have the ringer call loudly and notifications notify silently, but the point is this used to be customisable! It was a switch between linked volume or separate and it worked fine for years. Why enshittify a perfectly well working thing?!

Especially since Android 12 or 13 all app notifications require a permission in the first place

They had a very specific and useful purpose: notify of ongoing processes. Some apps using them wrong sucked, I agree, but since we have already got a lot of customisation for notifications on a per-app basis then perhaps this should be a customizable thing as well

I use AOSP and it's there.

Sure, fair point, but some notifications are better persistent

It was always combined for me. In fact there used to be a switch to link or unlink them.

If you have Android 13 rooted then you can use Quickswitch module for smooth gesture navigation.

There used to be an extra switch for linked or unlinked notification+ringer volume. You could use whatever work for you. Now they force you to use separate, which I believe is worse in every way.

Yeah, you can change the launcher, but unfortunately no Android 14 launcher supports smooth gesture navigation or Quickswitch module.

Persistent notification for some ongoing processes, such as downloads, torrenting clients, VPN services, all sorts of synchronisation, weather, DND, bedtime mode, battery monitors etc.

I in particular liked to use it with Tasksorg client for non-dismissable reminders, so that they stayed in the notifications bar until I mark them done. This way I would never accidentally dismiss a reminder for a chore until I specifically completed it.

Yes?

I use Cherish OS which I believe is based on LineageOS source.

The battery is not the main point of failure in contemporary phones, especially not one that makes you buy new unit. This new radioactive battery doesn't change much

And alternativeto.net is the place to find them alternatives

Transmission afaik does not have a built-in search functionality with plugins for popular trackers

The "u" in uTorrent is actually greek letter mu, which as a SI suffix is pronounced "micro" and means one millionth (10-6)

Depends what you're into

Didn't see any
