I’m pretty sure they do it to fly under the radar, since mobile clients are far more dominant than smart TV applications.

And there’s also newpipe as an alternative to Vanced (or rather the other way around, I believe newpipe came earlier), and even a fork with sponsorblock integration. I personally vastly prefer them over vanced/revanced.

I’m using BubbleUPnp for screencasting.

You mean, only on Android TV. They don’t have a phone app, and explicitly stated they are not interested in developing one.

I can’t tell, I have a youtube account.

Workplace policy leading to inherent familiarity with the system.

Plus most people aren’t heavy users or particularly tech-savvy. Installing an OS from scratch is already too much to ask for most.

https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext is the only app you’ll need on a TV. It’s designed for it and fully syncs with your original youtube account.

Um, no. It flags it for the user to review and urges a removal, that you can ignore. That’s it.

I live in China and have a Xiaomi phone as a work device, and use all sorts of apps the powers that be don’t like on it.

They have pirated apps? That’s news to me.

I’m using bing.com/create (free access with an office 365 account) and then use prompts such as “create a simple black & white icon with broad lines for a mobile app depicting financial management”.

Modify the prompt a few times or run it a couple times in a row until I find something I like, maybe modify it a little in Photoshop, and done.

It does, but you need to manually open the https website, they don’t automatically forward your request.

I simply don’t like them. There’s zero use case where I would consider a foldable phone superior, or even equivalent to a regular one.

Nah they do a good job. They are having intrusive popups asking you to subscribe to their paid tier for scheduled searches and real time protection, but if you know what you want/need, the free version is alright.

Awesome, thanks!

Where’d you get the Sync icon from? I need it ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Nova launcher, custom made icons in purely B/W to match my background image. Some are entirely self made, some come from various online sources, some are AI generated and manually retouched.

Opening the folders on the home screen shows the app icons in color, otherwise transparent overlay would be a messy mix of lines.

(example with opened “security” folder)

Single screen homepage, no widgets. I hate animations and scrolling.

Maybe the problem is on your computer’s end. Have you tried updating adb drivers and device-specific drivers (if any)? I’ve run into some issues with old adb drivers being present on the computer I was connecting to, even if the connection shouldn’t have been going through adb in the first place. But some identifier was acting up and causing misidentification of the device.

Yep, long press any setting and it will create an internal link for you to paste that Sync users can click.

Sync Ultra and Adfree are two different things altogether.

Ultra comes with adfree as a perk among with a ton of other stuff, but if all you care for is adfree, that’s $9.99 lifetime.
