OnePlus has turned OxygenOS into an advertising machine. Why is no one calling them out?

There was a recent thread calling out Samsung for pushing ads via notification - https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/hdaf59/samsung_pushing_ads_in_notifications_even_though/

But nobody seems to be calling out OnePlus for turning their OS into a advertisement machine. Everytime I enter settings I have a huge unremovable card with a red dot blaring at me.

I don't give a shit about their red cable nonsense and I didn't pay for a phone to be infested with ads in its settings app.

WWDC Made Me Appreciate Android More

Watching the iOS portion and seeing all these features that have been out for Android for a very long time, I realized that while it looks like Apple is being "revolutionary" with these new features, Android has had widgets, better Assistant UI, PiP, and the app drawer for far longer. But it also makes me see that while Apple is bringing radical changes mostly to software, Android has been seeing more refinements instead. Other than my Pixel 4's Assistant, every little incremental feature hasn't...

Oppo Ace2 Review: Initial Impressions

**Setup**

The unboxing experience was very basic, like any other Chinese smartphone so I will skip this part, but it does come with a pre-applied screen protector and a surprisingly nice clear case. I thought it would be a cheap clear case that looked nasty on the phone.

First thing I did was update the phone's firmware, then do a full factory reset. I set it up fresh, uninstalled what chinese bloat I could (there was a lot), installed playstore with the first apk I found, then using that I in...

For years Widgets have been slowly forgotten in the Android world. Even OEMs and Pixels don't put widgets on their promotional photos! With the coming of iOS 14, should we expect the reemergence of Android Widgets in the coming years?

I just hate how the smartphone industry works. Widgets, perhaps Android's one of most iconic features, have been slowly forgotten over the years and here comes Apple getting that feature, polishing it a lot better than Google. This is so sad and frustrating.

I'm a fan of Widgets, still use them a lot today on my Samsung. Android widgets are good, but they can be improved so much more. I feel like Android Widgets have gone really stale over the years....

Apple's PIP animation is how I said Android's should have been from the beginning with gesture nav.

On iOS 14, you swipe to go home and the app shrinks into the pip window. This is an obvious and intuitive animation.

On Android 10+, you swipe to go home, and then the pip window fades into view. It's rather inelegant and somewhat... clunky.

The other thought about iOS 14 I haven't seen mentioned anywhere yet is that app clips are also ripped straight from Android/the play store. The difference is, nobody used them on Android. I don't even remember what google officially called them... THAT'S ...

Snapchat ruined the reputation of Android.

I know I'm not the first person to think about this but the more I think into it the angrier I get. Snapchat singlehandedly created the stigma that "Android cameras suck" or "Androids are slow." Snapchat's refusal to create an app that actually uses the camera API, or at least optimize the app itself, has made for a horrible experience on Android since day 1. Even as Android cameras surpassed iPhones long ago, Snapchat never took the time to implement a proper capture function from the camera, a...
