The Drone Thread

The display was the major problem with the DJI drone I owned. The cradle on the controller to connect most all modern phones was two short. Putting the phone in airplane mode to avoid an interruption and trying to see the phone display in full sunlight also proved to be a problem. I finally sold / basically gave away my drone. It was fun but not entertaining enough for me.
That's part of what's cool about the Antigravity setup. Those goggles would be great...at least once you got used to it.

Help Messages on Android: Samsung vs. Google. Which one and why?

Google messages, I've used Textra but not impressed with the results. Messages just does it better. Without all of the fluff.
Actually I have a problem with Messages on my phone: the colours it chooses are very low contrast, which for me is a both a usability and an aesthetic fail.

This is because of the way it uses my system colour palette and theme to set the app colours. It's actually perfectly fine on my wife's phone, but doesn't work on mine. It is better in light mode, and can be improved a bit by changing the phone's palette, but I prefer dark mode and don't want to re-theme my whole phone just for one app, so in practice it just doesn't work for me.

Launcher recommendations

You can actually change icons in your app drawer with Nova (or at least Nova Prime - so long since I used free Nova that I can't remember). Just long press on the icon, select edit, choose an icon. In fact if you change the icon in the app drawer it also changes it everywhere else.

I've never had a problem with creating folders, but I prefer to create them in Nova's app drawer settings because that creates folders where I can give the folder a custom icon, nest folders inside folders, place them in the dock, and keep them in an app drawer tab. Very, very much more flexible than the ad hoc "drag a couple of icons on top of each other to make a folder" approach that most launchers provide (including Nova).
In the end it was almost complicated to set the scroll bar colors with other colors as well..
But over all it was pretty decent until it crashed a bit on my moto edge cell..
