You can emulate the old Windows phone look with Square Launcher.

I still miss WM10 :(
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?
Dear lord that is so busy
Yet incredibly clean compared to your average home screen.
404 not found.
That’s because the link expired
Kind of a worthless link to begin with, then.
Lord, no. Please look into minimum colour contrast ratios.
Ok, that yellow may have been over the top. But except that everything seems fine 😅
I’d spend $600 on a 2023 windows phone
For sure, with my eyes closed. My 520 and 720 were by far the most aesthetically pleasing phones I’ve ever used.
I agree. I was so upset when the line was discontinued.
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.
Oh God. This is horrific.
I fucking loved Windows Mobile OS. I want my tiles back.
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
It was ahead in many ways. Iirc, windows was the first phone OS to include in built swipe typing.
Reddit icon instead of Lemmy. WTF
Lemmy is in social😂
Maybe have a look at Win11 Launcher. I reckon it’ll get the aesthetic you’re looking for.
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 😁
Looks great! Makes me want to reinstall the launcher I used before switching to Pixel
I still miss my 920 and 950xl. If they made a modern WP again, I’d switch back in a heartbeat.
Definitely need to have used wp before to appreciate this
This is one of the homescreens of all time
I can appreciate that you made this. But I also gotta do “why”
Well, this is what I like. My lumia was pretty solid and I miss the ui
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?
My Samsung Omnia 7 was friggin awesome. Metro was kicking iOS and Androids butt.
Those lumias were ahead of their times.
LUMIA oh man I miss that phone. Served me terrific right up until I face planted it in a parking lot.
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
Revanced had a lot of ads so I deleted it. This is also a new or continued YouTube vanced by someone else
What do you mean ads lol, there are no ads. You probably did something wrong or got it from the wrong source. I’m not sure there’s any credible Vanced source right now, revanced is probably your best bet
There was an adblocker in videos yes, but on homescreen there were ads in between scrolling. And it had other issues like video infinite buffering etc
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?
I tried Newpipe but I honestly didnt get on with it, I’m much too used to the stock UI of YouTube, I also like having an account that let’s me interact with others (commenting, liking etc). Plus Revanced has native Sponcerblock and RYD support. At the end of the day its to each of their own, but I much prefer it over the others.
Can’t login to a google account on Libretube or Newpipe, a requirement for me
That’s… The appeal lol. You can subscribe and stuff but your data remains with you. But i get why that turns many people off
this is disgusting, good job
