      Can someone fork Android 8? For me that’s when it peaked from a UI perspective. Like the the theming and other cook features in newer Android but the UI sucks.

    The visual novelty of Android versions seems to have died out a long time ago. You may get the new features, but there won’t be anything new to look at.

        Cr droid has a lot of cool settings and it comes in two versions, gaps or without. Pretty neat but I do like the minimal Lineage os

          I don’t like how they swapped the music player. I feel like the new player is overly complex.

          However, I feel like Lineage OS is fighting the good fight overall.

    The theming decisions are really up to Google. I think complacency can be good in some ways, if you download from f-droid you’ll know that there’s a lot of discrepancies between the style and theming of apps. I think M3 is a good style and a good base for apps to build on, so there’s no reason to change it except wanting new.
