Oh God. This is horrific.

[-] EhrinCB@vlemmy.net 59 points 1 year ago

I can appreciate that you made this. But I also gotta do “why”

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 44 points 1 year ago

Well, this is what I like. My lumia was pretty solid and I miss the ui

[-] Mindlight@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

My Samsung Omnia 7 was friggin awesome. Metro was kicking iOS and Androids butt.

[-] faltuuser@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Those lumias were ahead of their times.

[-] Nisciunu@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I miss that too and think that it would have been great to have three ecosystems. Only having two things to choose from is not good. Does this launcher behave like wp? With flipping tiles that show you a brief overview?

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

They have some custom tiles that do like calender, photo slider, clock. Folders also have animations

[-] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

LUMIA oh man I miss that phone. Served me terrific right up until I face planted it in a parking lot.

It might feel busy for some but that's because you see it for the first time. When it's on your phone, you see it like 50 times a day you realize that you got so much information at a glance.

Or maybe you need to be an old WP user to appreciate it 😁

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

Definitely need to have used wp before to appreciate this

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

I still miss my 920 and 950xl. If they made a modern WP again, I'd switch back in a heartbeat.

[-] aerowave@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks great! Makes me want to reinstall the launcher I used before switching to Pixel

[-] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

YouTube Vanced got replaced by Revanced BTW, different team and not just an app you just download, you have to patch YouTube yourself, (similar to xmanager) but that isn't not too hard. The YouTube Revanced's Official discord can be found here

[-] matt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is there a reason people go through all these steps for patching YouTube when you could just use NewPipe or LibreTube to browse YouTube without any ads, with background play, ability to download videos, and so on?

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

You can log in to ReVanced.

[-] outbound5231@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I prefer the gestures and UI of the stock YouTube app, so having a patched app is the best of both worlds.

Yet incredibly clean compared to your average home screen.

I fucking loved Windows Mobile OS. I want my tiles back.

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

It was pretty awesome man. Especially the native apps and the consistency in UI between apps. Android only NOW has introduced something similar with material you. It was ahead of it's time

[-] glorious_albus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was ahead in many ways. Iirc, windows was the first phone OS to include in built swipe typing.

[-] Pericombobulation@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I can't believe nobody in this thread mentioned launcher10 yet. I have to admit I haven't tried square yet, but launcher10 scratches my WP user experience itch for sure.

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't like how it handles resizing. I really can't deal with it for every app. Plus square launcher has more features

I'd spend $600 on a 2023 windows phone

[-] glorious_albus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

For sure, with my eyes closed. My 520 and 720 were by far the most aesthetically pleasing phones I've ever used.

[-] widowhanzo@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

I had the 925, it was reall nice, the screen aspect ratio was great, the phone felt premium, camera was good. It got a bit sluggish towards the end, but Android phones at the time did as well. I wasn't a fan of WP10 though, so if they released a new WP today who knows what kind of experience it would actually have, probably something in-between WP10 and Android.

[-] k3yword@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I agree. I was so upset when the line was discontinued.

[-] dejf@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

Windows Phone had a gorgeous UI, especially on OLED devices. Your colours are a little off and the gaps could be a bit bigger, but it still looks quite nice. I don't know how much of this is tweakable though. Did you make this yourself? Or which launcher are you using?

[-] RubberDucky@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

I loved my windows phone, everything was neatly organized and insane good muscle memory, I don't know if it is my nostalgia or if it genuinely is a good as I remember

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Reddit icon instead of Lemmy. WTF

this is disgusting, good job

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

I still miss WM10 :(

[-] FlashZordon@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I liked the Windows Phone home screen but damn this is over stimulus lmao.

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

To each its own i guess

[-] jesusrp98@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks awesome!
