Happy weekend!

You might have noticed that !android@lemdro.id has reached 15K subscribers, with over 400 active visitors per week!

With the release of Android 14, which is slowly making its way to more devices, it seems like a good time for a community discussion on the direction of Android development.

Discussion Questions:

  • What do you think about this latest release?
  • Do you think things are going in the right direction?
  • Is there anything you’d like to see prioritized in future releases?
  • Which device are you on?

P.S. Subscribe to !askandroid@lemdro.id if you haven’t already. It’s the best place to ask questions, seek advice, or to help steer others in the right direction for all things related to Android.

No, Android itsself lacks the amibition to add anything meaningful. Desktop Mode, Customizable Quick Settings Toggle Area, actually useful battery stats, a more customizable battery saving mode would all be things I’d like to see but clearly aren’t a priority.

Also I really don’t like Material U. Classic Material looked way better!
