Opinions on fake liquid glass nav bars

Recently I have been seeing those among the bigger apps (Instagram, Uber, Netflix, etc.) and I understand it is a matter of architecture but I think it pales when compared to real liquid glass like on Prime Video

Guide on how to make low end devices faster

I got a Mi Stick Full HD with only 1 gb of RAM and had to make the most out of it, here are some tips that worked really well for me, my device has half of its RAM available at all times, the tips are sorted by order of effectiveness

1 - Get a launcher

It does not matter if it is projectivy, AT4K or kyu, get a launcher! Besides getting rid of ads and bloatware, the most famous launchers are optimized for low-end devices. I went with AT4K but the choice is yours to make, try them and go with the best.

2 - Remove the native launcher

When I first downloaded my launcher, I dis the accessibility tutorial they provided but on reality little did change and I had 2 launchers consuming my RAM at the same time, do not make the same mistake I did.

I solved it by using Launcher Manager and totally disabling the native launcher in order to favor mine.

This increased my launcher responsiveness by a lot.

3 - DeGoogle

It is quite ironic to ask to DeGoogle an android device but you would be surprised by how much RAM Google consumes in its voice search feature, just disable the app responsible for it, the downside is that voice search is no more but the pros outweights this by a large margin

Also, remove usage permission from all non essential apps inside the android tv’s settings

After that, disable auto updates on google play store

4 - Remove Bloatware

My device came filles with bloatware both by Google and Xiaomi, download ADB TV and remove it, not only disabling but thoroughly uninstalling helped.

5 - Check Display Settings

On ADB TV, we have setting related to the screen and this was a game changer, my screen used to feel like always on 30hz, the animations were not smooth, wallpapers, everything.

When I looked into the screen settings the problem appeared: my screen was setup as HD instead of Full HD

After I manually changed the DPI to 320 and screen size to 1920x1080 my screen became way faster, way snappier, I can not recommend this enough.

Golden Rule: 1.5GB free

Do not go below this, low end devices rely a lot on its internal memory due to having to do heavy optimization.

Help finding my youtube ipa

When I first sideloaded on this phone (around the 25th of last month) I installed an youtube ipa on Sidestore and it works great, i want help on finding it due to the whatabout when it does not work anymore.

It is called: YouTubePlus_21.25.5_5.2.1

I have already tried looking for it on my history on safari, everything and it does not come up

As I said I have this on sidestore and even though I use LC, I would still want this one to work on sidestore

Does anyone know a website or repo with it? If so please tell me on the comments or send me a link on my DM

LiveContainer not logging in

I am using Sidestore + Livecontainer on my iphone 14 pro on iOS 26.5

My issue is: the apps on the sidestore built-in app are working perfectly but when we go into the live container, all the apps only work if they are offline, an example: I downloaded duolingo++ in order to unrust my spanish, but I cannot log in no matter what, I cannot even do the most basic lesson that does not require login

Thinking the problem was with this particular IPA, i tried another for lingodeer: same problem and did for other apps too, always with me getting stuck on the login screen

Did any of you guys experiment this? How did you solve it?

FIXED: just downloaded sidestore + livecontainer nightly IPA and it solved all of my issues with SS + LC

FireStick Adblocking list

Just switched from Roku to FireTV due to sideloading, do we have any kind of lists that handles the ads on the homescreen (e.g. banner ads) like I had on Roku?

How to run shortcut on background for an undetermined period of time

I made a shortcut for toothbrushing where an alert appears on top of the screen and when I click ok it logs my time on Apple Health, I did this way so I can do other tasks or watch videos while toothbrushing as I brush for a longer period than most people (5-8 minutes)

My question is: is there any way to make it more seamless than an alert? I cannot think of any but if there is a place where someone can know it, it is here

[Pedido] Atalho iOS para PIX via agentes

Olá pessoal, tudo bem?

Uma das dores ao utilizar o agente de whatsapp do BTG é a falta de contatos salvos, para resolver isso criei esse atalho onde você consegue adicionar um contato a partir de uma chave que você não utilizou antes e esse contato ficara salvo para futuras transações.

Funcionalidade:

- PIX semiautomatizado via prompt com inputs apenas de contato e valor

Não quero ganhar nenhum valor pois isso não é possível utilizando os atalhos do iOS, só criei algo para mim e gostaria de compartilhar

O pedido é: gostaria que eu compartilhasse apesar de ainda não estar totalmente polido? Se sim eu crio um tutorial de como fazer o setup para outros agentes que não sejam do BTG
