I've been using Revanced since it was just the CLI app and for the most part it has worked well for me(until recently). I have had an issue where the patching process finishes with no errors and installs fine, but when I open Youtube and try to play a video it stops immediately. I see the video advancedby a frame or two and hear a split second of the sound, but it stops immediately. I'm using the most up to date version of revanced with the suggested youtube apk version. I have root, but I have tried installing with and without root and tried with and without microg. Ideally I'd prefer not to use microg, because it consumes a lot of battery. I've tried building it many times with the default patches and even just the adblocking patches and still can't find any combination that works.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Yeah, I do agree that it feels a little out of place on Android, but currently I have been using it because it still feels polished and I haven't had many bugs with it. Lemmy clients in general are in their early days and many are quite rough around the edges. I've had a lot of bugs with most of them.
Connect for Lemmy has a Material You style to it and feels like at home on Android. It uses your current Material color scheme and feels a bit similar to Sync for Reddit.
I do miss being able to swap out a phone battery and this will certainly be a step in the right direction in terms ewaste and device longevity.
One thing that I wonder about is waterproofing or water resistance. Some phones are basically waterproof in shallow water. How achievable is this with a device with a trivial way to remove the battery?
At this point, I'm not interested in folding phones. There just aren't many reasons why I would need one right now. I suppose that they would make a nice ebook reader, but day-to-day I don't need that. They are currently a little on the thick side to be keeping in my pocket.
I am happy that they exist and maybe when they get thinner and work out some of the kinks, I might be ore interested.
