Hey guys, I am an iphone user looking to buy a new android phone and the nexus 6p is my current choice. However, i would really like to know if the themer app is supported on the nexus 6p( on their website it is stated that they do not support the nexus 6 which got me worrying). Can anyone confirm with me whether the app is supported on the 6p??
I used to be a huge supporter and user of Themer but earlier this year when the developers all but abandoned the app and their forms here on the website I gave it up.
From what I've seen they have never even officially supported the Nexus 6, so waiting for it to get supported for the Nexus 6 P may take longer than you're willing to wait.
I guess they have picked development backup of the app but don't answer any questions and I have heard that they aren't adding any new themes to the theme store but that you can go by designed ones elsewhere.
I am currently using Hola Launcher. Pretty nice, simple, lightweight.
Now, if you're really interested in trying it out on your Nexus 6 P it may actually work. It worked perfectly fine on the g3 before they made it "compatible". All you have to do is find an apk download of it and side load it on your device.
Nexus 6p has layers a different for of themes strait if off the box ....root and get layers manager from app store ... Get some layers and find which one you like

First of all thank you so much for your reply. I noticed you said to download apk and then sideload. Does that mean the app is no longer available on the playstore???
Hello fellow Android geeks! I have a quick question today. What will replace the Google Now Launcher when it is pulled from the Play Store? The AOSP launcher, the Pixel Launcher? Please post your input below, any is appreciated!
Nothing. You will just be left with an outdated launcher that no longer receives Play Store updates.
You might want to try Nova Launcher unless you aren't looking for a custom launcher and are asking if the stock launcher will change. That would depend on your Rom. The Pixel Launcher is pretty basic but I guess if you were using the previous Google launcher that might not matter to you.
I can't live without Nova. Pay the five bucks and get the prime upgrade. Then become a beta tester. It's updated pretty regularly and other than the swipe left thing that Google has, it's a great product. I have literally restored the same TIBU data (updated of course) for the last three phones. Lol

Was considering getting a fire10. The same one here:
https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Amaz...1529422391&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=tablet&psc=1
I dont necessarily care about root although I guess it would be ok. Is there any way to get android on it? Or at the bare minimum, the store, so I can do google native things? lol.
You can get Google play , and change the launcher , you can also root . Fire os is a modified Android .
There is no way to change it though.
Did you even look on the xda fire hd page . It's all there

Rooting it is fairly easy. If you don't want to bother with that though, you can install the Play Store without a problem (there is just a sequence in which the Google apps have to be installed) and have Launcher Hijack run your launcher of choice and it would look and function like a regular Android. The HD 10 is the best tablet for the money, in my opinion. I tried to get another one when they went on sale for $100 a few months ago but I just missed it
Does anybody has any idea, when are we going to get Android Q for One plus 6T?

At Google IO
I don't know why Google only want to change thingd that are useful every version of Android. If some features are good, leave it. Example: Anyone wants to clear a notification in only one way? or, who wants to show the notch in the screenshots?
I don't understand Google..
Probably later after the OnePlus 7 gets it,summer sometime I would say
This is still in early beta state with a lot of bugs even on pixel devices:

After seeing more and more of OOS features OP already implemented and Google sells it as 'new feature' in Q with insane amount of bugs... I am an android fan, but this is the first version I am not excited about.
I dislike having many platforms and bloatware, but I also prefer not to unlock my bootloader and prefer not to root my phones due to security concerns. This is why I really like Pixel phones because they are 100% Android, although original unlocked stock Pixel firmware does come with some VZW (Verizon Wireless) packages that are inactive unless Verizon is the carrier.
How bloated is stock OnePlus 8 Pro with non-Android software? Is that software necessary for the phone to function?
Oxygen OS is which much similar to Pixel phones but with more functionality in settings.
There are no such bloatware compared to other OEMs like Samsung, LG, MIUI, etc.
You can try some update reviews/walk through of Oxygen OS which might give you a very good insight.
Even I am very much on the same thoughts, hate bloatwares.
But after moving using OnePlus devices there no other better phone out there.. Trust me.
Pure out of the box experience.

You can always choose to remove the remaining ( no real bloatware is present in my opinion ) stuff using adb. No need for root or unlocked bootloader
No, you can't even disable some bloatware that comes with some phones, let alone remove it. That is why I was specifically asking whether OnePlus 8 Pro comes with bloatware.

Thanks, I will look into it, although I wish there was a package name dump or something similar that would show exactly what OnePlus 8 Pro has in stock firmware. I guess I could just learn to unpackage factory images to learn all that myself.

You can disable everything, you're just saying you can't do it or don't know how to do it. Without root you can disable every single package using adb. If you disagree do tell me what can't be removed or at least disabled and I'll gladly show you're wrong

You might be right... I am still very new at this, trying to get a phone that is secure, customizable, and bloatware-free, but it seems impossible. AFAIK, aside from GSMK/ESD and BlackBox cryptophones, no phone can offer protection and/or detection of IMSI catchers and/or devices that can mimic cell tower to downgrade your LTE to connection to 2G/3G to look into your SMS or eavesdrop on your phone calls. That leaves ability to filter telemetry, removal of needless applications, and encrypted Wi-Fi calling via VPN as the only semi-secure method of communication. Phones like Sirin Finney are supposed to excel at that, but based on the following chart, your standard Pixel 4/4 XL are the better options - https://img.gadgethacks.com/img/46/...st-phones-for-privacy-security-2020.w1456.jpg .
There doesn't even appear to be a phone that can force "LTE-only or kill connection" (no 2G/3G downgrade) feature.
I spent 10 mins looking for all the bloat and disabling them.

OP doesn't want to unlock his bootloader or root his device
Anything you want to uninstall you can using ADB if root is an issue.
Any OnePlus device will have minimal bloat compared to turds like Samsung and Huawei.
Fire up ADB and remove what you don't want.

You are all welcome for sure ..
You can even use SD maid to know the package names and their categories if they fall into user or system apps
Yes, SD Maid works a treat!
I use SD maid to disable receiver per app bases which I don't use much through its receiver manager. It helps me avoid background running or auto start on boot which helps me save lot of battery.
OxygenOS bloated ? Try OneUI OS from samsung..
OneUI is way more bloated compared to Oxygen OS.
