Nothing OS Nothing phone 4a : Ugly UI
I'm coming from AOSP custom ROM like crDriod, AlphaDroidbased on A15/16. I'm finding the nothing OS UI ugly, let me explain.
The first thing is there's no option to have high density app drawer like 6x8, or 6x10, or even 7x8, etc. The max 5 column app drawer makes the icons too large, even though the display density set to smaller.
No other way to set icon size like in custom ROMs
I feel the display size and font size steps are not in sync. I mean the display size should have corresponding matching font size option. They have predefined font size steps which is not suitably matching to desired font size
The quick setting page is utter ugly. It has only options to have giant 4 icons. There it must have option to keep 6 columns.
The brightness bar in QS is at bottom or lower part of the full QS page. It should have option to add at top.
Lack of option to set different shapes or shades of QS buttons
For dual SIM it merges both the sim icons to one, at least give an option to user to show it separately
The keyboard has huge unwanted space at bottom, literally there shouldn't be anything below the space bar.
Recents have only screenshot option at bottom and clear all at extreme left! Why not along side screenshot?
No option to keep battery statusbar icon as text
Pure black settings page is not there
Please let me know if you feel the same and the workaround you are doing for such settings.
