Using the FP5 with Android 13. Any hidden Settings or stuff that I should need to know about its Android? Should I switch to LineageOS instead? Is there a way for me to have all my Apps on my Homescreen instead of tucked away in that hidden menu if you swipe up? Is there a way to modify what is seen on the button row of the Homescreen? Normally I’d like to have 3 fixed App icons there but there are 5 which I can’t remove and they keep changing. Is there a way to remove the calender widget or search bar in the top of the home screen?

    there is the option to wake the screen with a double tap unfortunately that has the same problem with battery drain so for now i just push the button with the fingernail to check time

      Why would it drain the battery? The screen would be off until you wake it, right.

      My tests aren’t complete. It’s unclear if the the black and white, always on time display has a noticeable impact on battery so far. Will report with full results soon.

      But if anyone is claiming that it causes “massive battery drain” or other superlative, my data says they’re wrong.

        my guess is that it’s poorly tuned and wakes the screen in the pocket. also maybe it changes some energy state to monitor the touch input
