simple, oneui 7(pre june 2025 mid month update(edited as I was a tad silly in saying what specific update was unacceptable in my book)) was perfect, easy, and JUST WORKED, you can add SECURITY patches, but FIRE people whoever even SUGGESTS FORCING users to alter themes and functionality, MARKETING IS FULL OF ***** THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT REAL PEOPLE WNAT EVER DO NOT EVER LISTEN TO THEM FOR ANY REASON
I need a reversion of ALL but the SECURITY patches to oneui 6, if any user has a SIMPLE theme that will undo this literal eye and navigation pain(ie NOT factory resetting or flashing the nand) I will literally give you money for finding it
edit t+6:00: turns out you can't even reflash the pre-update bundle, I tried downgrading JUST the launcher(the aspect I LOATHE about this update) but for some reason a MODULAR approach is setup to DISABLE any possible workaround for app versioning, even hacking the launcher app version code to make 16.0.5.50 look newer than version 16.0.5.55(the one that needs to be deleted from existence as it revamps things that out never have been edited) it STILL somehow knows it is an older copy, which SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE
a LAUNCHER should not be version locked EVER, no efuse bullshit, if we like the older UI we should be allowed to simply install the old UI and keep it just as it is with the security updates
maybe I am a noob but I think I did what any rational person would consider, more so as I even attempted to delete the launcher and install the old one to bypass downgrade restrictions over ADB(which honestly should NEVER have been a thing, if someone uses an old security exploit using ADB to install it you have WAY bigger issues than being hacked, as someone actively grabbed your phone to hack it, meaning they are already closely surveilling you anyway, meaning the ADB downgrade blocking in andriod 14+ is literally not effective for security)
I really wish companies would stop WRONGLY thinking that changing the UI, an aspect that has LITERALLY NO EFFECT, on security or functionality, is at all anything but a consumer angering device that will have them ditch that company for another or even the dreaded(oh no) free open source stuff
if they stopped editing the UI without consent we would act like the paying sheep they seem to want, rather than the pissed off wolves who will just go hunt elsewhere when you mess with us enough(by changing what we love into something that frankly sucks)
unless companies want us so angry at them they loose sales and rep....
