Thank God I’m not the only one who absolutely hates this. Over a decade ago, I used an iPhone for a month before returning it for an Android because I hated it so much.
Being able to revert back to OneUI 6.1 would be so delightful. OneUI 7 is trash. Too bad, at least on the Qualcomm variants (so US and most of world) there’s no way to unlock, no way to sideload, no way to roll back. You’re just stuck with whatever pile of shit they choose to feed you.
Oddly, one of the most annoying aspects of OneUI 7, is how damn slow the phone locks from the time when you press the power button to screen-dark. Half the time I figure I didn’t push the button, so I hit it again, and launch the camera in my pocket instead of locking the screen.
Just be careful, Nova Launcher is owned by a user telemetry collection company now and the majority of the original dev team was kicked from the project not too long ago.
That was enough reason for me to lose trust in them and switch to something else. If the app hasn’t gotten shady yet, I feel it is only a matter of time.
I am aware. I haven’t noticed anything yet but I do plan on looking into an alternative next time I have to buy a new phone. My note 20 ultra is 5 years old at this point, but I don’t have a reason to upgrade yet. I like my pen and SD card.
If I wanted and apple product I would have bought an apple product. This is my last Samsung device after being all in on Samsung - tablet, earbuds, phone, watch, no more…
Shit, Samsung dropped a recent update that turned my S24 into an iPhone. It’s the most annoying update and makes me want to root my phone.

I wouldn’t say it looks like an iphone that much, what do you not like?

I use nova launcher. My Samsung phone still pretty much looks like android from 10 years ago.

Install something like Rethink DNS or DDG App Tracking Protection to see what telemetry the app is sending without your knowledge.
Yup and there is no way to roll it back.

Funny/sad thing is, even Apple lets you downgrade your OS for a couple of weeks after a major release.
