New app layout on S23 is driving me crazy

My S23 updated to One UI V 7.0 a couple weeks ago. I have been able to change a few of the settings back to how there were before but I can't figure out how to configure the layout of my apps. I'm referring to the list of all my apps, not my home screen apps. When I would try to find an app, they used to be spread out over several pages and I would swipe right or left to view 20 apps on each page. Since the update, all of the apps are on one page and I have to scroll through the whole list to find the app I'm looking for. I pretty much had the location of my apps memorized so I could find an app easily. Is there a way to get this back the way it used to be?

Screenshot being added to voice search from long press home button

I just noticed today that when I long press the home button, the screen flashes, I then tap the search box, then at the top of the screen, a see a search box, with a screen shot it just grabbed. Then if i say something it adds to it ,but only searches the image. I have the Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra with Android v15, and my wife has the Galaxy s22 plus and her search works as expected. What I expect is I long press the home button, I see a search box and I talk to do a google search. ... thoughts

Android Shortcuts issue ... way to fix that so they don't need updateding all the time?

One of the beefs I've always had with Android (which is also present in Linux) is how dumb the shortcuts are.

In Windows, a shortcut take you to a file or folder. If the default app changes, the shortcut doesn't care. It goes to the file or folder within the shortcut with the new default. It doesn't require one to do up yet another shortcut for the gazillionth time when the app goes through an update. They remain forever static, which is absolutely great!

Is there a way, _please_, to work around this deficiency in Android? Can we create a shortcut to a file or folder that will live on through updates or even changes in the default app that opens any given shortcut?

Thank you for any help to this regard!

Friendly Reminder

Don't forget that this coming Sunday, the 11th, is Mother's day. We only get one mother and I suspect that everyone has a special loving person for a mother. It's been nearly 45 years ago that I lost my mother and I still miss the woman. I try to do something special for my wife for she was that special person to our four children. The mothers deserve more than a day of recognition in my opinion. I'll not let the day pass without special thoughts of my mother and and to show my wife how I appreciate the loving effort she invested in our children.

Dumber than goo

My friend's phone was stolen from her office. She got another one, but she can't set it up properly because googoo insists on sending a message to her old, missing phone despite being told that it is not available. Why are they that stupid? What can she do to get around this problem?

the Last of Us

this show is awesome, so i thought that it deserves its own thread.

season 2 is out now. just finished watching the 4th episode of season 2. have you watched it yet? it is on max. it is an incredible show. it is very close to the games from what i have read. i am currently half way done playing the 1st game and season 1 pretty much matches what you go thru in the game. it is really incredible how true they are to the game. it is pretty much the best game to movie adaptation that i have seen. i need to finish the 1st game so that i can play the 2nd one.
