The worst thing is the past few years android updates brought fuckall exciting new stuff and just more spyware and worse performance .

    I returned my Samsung phone over that button. Haven't touched their shit since.

    Fuck that button. At least let me map it to something else!

    You can. They did an update to the S8 (and others, I assume) that let you remap it. I used some app before that, something from the Google Play Store but it's been way too long to remember the name. Nowadays there isn't a Bixby button anymore for us to remap. They tried to take over the power button with AI now, but thankfully you can remap this back to power as well.

    My recent (unwanted) update changed the lock screen to this weird format where the two-digit hour is above the two-digit minute instead of next to it separated by a colon like normal people use. I keep setting it back to what I want but this weird over/under format keeps coming back. Some fucking douchebag of a UX/UI designer thought this was a genius new way of showing the time and now it's being jammed down my throat.

    I always keep at least one notification so I don't have to see that stupid format on my lock screen.

    Yeah, I was using stock pixel launcher forever until the most recent "update" that added yet another button to the search bar that you can't remove, that I used daily, and the button went conveniently right where my right thumb tapped. Switched to Lawnchair, and it's not without issue. Why can't shit that has worked just continue to work the same way?

    I also swapped to Lawnchair not that long ago. The only thing I miss so far is the ability to use app shortcuts on the home screen. Like opening YouTube directly to my subscriptions, etc. It also uses black text for the status bar on the home screen making it invisible but that might be user error.

    Edit: There's a setting for "Dark Status Bar." I don't know if it was on by default or if I switched it. But now I can see it again.
