Hi, where else can I upload this image to illustrate what I mean?

This is UI on my nothing phone. I see a major benefit for my everyday mental wellbeing to not have my phone shooting at me with all colors, and instead being "just a good interface".

There might be some issues with icon recognition and speed of access, but since that's your device and your icon placement, you eventually getting used to it. In exchange you receive a clean UI which doesn't overload your receptors, which is a very important thing for the device you look at often.

Weather widget in the middle often shows calendar events, but I don't discolse that for privacy.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Can you use something like the kiss launcher to make it text based and no icons

Does the phone have a built in battery charge limiter or do you need to root for that? I leave my phone plugged in all day/night running stuff and I really don't need it at 100% 24/7. I think that's the only thing I need root for at this point. Nothing else I want to run needs it anymore after android 13 finally added the ability to toggle airplane mode on and off WITHOUT root.

Why not gesture navigation?

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly, that's too hard for me to figure out how to setup without knowing the outcome.

Is it good and worth to dig in?

[–] ByteMe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah and I think it's pretty easy to do so. And easy to go back if you don't like it

I just want a feature phone that can act as a wifi hotspot for my laptop.

How is notification center and phone?

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is it the one you see when you slide down?

That one is still bombarded by notifications from applications, so I simply have "Do Not Disturb" mode on almost all the time.

It also allows to disable notification by holding it, but it is like that on all phones, I assume.

It has support for silent notifications also, but I kinda just nuke whatever new thing pop ups there.

And also it has customizable buttons for features with the ability to change size and placement. Quite neat.

Nice! I have Bern struggleing to get a clean UI. But my notification area is always cluttered πŸ˜…

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And it's like constantly 50 notifications you never asked for stacked in the endless columns of meaningless information, regardless how often you disable them :D

But I simply nuke whatever pop ups. Keep sms, and emails.

I also thought that's standard, but that UI also allows to customize and disable them per category when you hold your finger on the notification. So I can disable everything, but keep direct messages, for example.
