[Kvaesitso] Blurred Background, "Reproducible" & "Declarative" Theme on Tablet & Phone (lemmy.ml)

App Drawer

Widgets

  • OS: Android (Stock) using UAD

  • Launcher: Kvaesitso

  • Theme: Follow System (Dark)

  • Wallpaper: Muzei

  • Icons: Delta Icon Pack

    • Using syncthing fork to backup and restore the theme between my tablet & phone.
    • Works perfectly even though I have fewer apps on my phone, but missing apps are just ignored. No broken links/icons, which is great. Images taken from tablet in landscape.
    • Not quite "Reproducible" & "Declarative," but pretty close for Android. This is the first time my Android devices have been the same in theme and organization. I love it.

How do you declaratively apply the configuration? Is that a feature of Kvaesitso?

[–] zonsopkomst@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

No, it's more tongue-in-cheek. πŸ€₯ You unfortunately can't, but what I do is export the backup of Kvaesitso from my tablet, sync it with syncthing to my phone, and then restore the backup on my phone. Despite not having all the apps on my phone that I have on my tablet, it loads perfectly. Any apps that are not listed just get ignored and there are no broken icons/links. So it very loosely is like my NixOS setup, getting two different Android versions to feel similar. That's the most uniform method I have been able to come up with.

This is really cool! I have to steal the idea of using emojis as tags.
Btw, any dots? πŸ‘€

[–] zonsopkomst@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Feel free to steal the idea. I stole it from another post somewhere in here myself. πŸ˜„ We can only dream of dots. Maybe when the Linux phone becomes a thing?

Ahh I see, then it'll be an honor to copy from a true programmer.

Isn't the launcher backup the "dots" for this?

Lol.

Isn’t the launcher backup the β€œdots” for this?

True. I've made some minor changes since the original post and the only issue I have is having to replace my weather widget. Kvaesitso actually prompts me to replace, so it is a one tap move. Really cool that Kvaesitso is smart enough to do so!

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

alright then, keep your secrets πŸ‘€

it is a one tap move

that's cool!

One dot to rule them all!
