but there is no unity to it all.

in my opinion thats pretty much the point. and what really makes android different. while unity is great, i like the idea of being able to "make it mine", wheather some find it cluttered or not.

all the jailbroken iphone screenshots look more or less the same, while definately awesome, while the android screens are on one hand easily recognized as android but also are that certain users interpretation of how it should look in order to make their workflow ... flow.

im not saying that you cant make the iphone look like you want it to look but you do need to go through some steps that some users might find a bit complicated. on android, you can do most of the stuff seen here out of the box.

most of the stuff, i say.

but it sure is easier to take a freaking screenshot on the iphone. :D

You know some of these Android desks look great. Others just look so cluttered. I mean I like the fact that you can pretty much put the icons where you want and such, but there is no unity to it all.

there doesn't need to be unity. i love the fact i can do whatever i want to my desktop. :yes:

how so? on android i use shoot me and all i do is start the app and shake my phone to take the photo, how hard is that to do?

as far as i know you have to root your device to use shoot me.

the only way to take screens without rooting is via the SDK.

      Here's a good laugh for you then. My brother, his girl friend and my son all have the Galaxy A15 5g and they are working absolutely great. My wife and I both have the A16 and they are working great also. Maybe you are laughing at the specs, but for under $100 I would hope you aren't expecting much.

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
