Yo how’d our hommie sideofburritos get old school quick access on GrapheneOS? Is this just an old version? The video’s only a year old! So I’m on GOS Android 13 (aka big dumb quick access button purgatory), totally confused and totally jealous. I can only imagine an out of touch board testing a new android version and telling the developers to make the buttons bigger and dumber while they tell their managers “okay, we can do that” while they die a little inside. This is the most egregious design offense committed in the history of AOSP.

Please tell me this can be fixed with System UI Tuner or some other bullshit that doesn’t kill my battery life or privacy.

I tried Shizuku and was able to get it to work with Better Internet Tiles, which allowed me to split out the Data and WiFi tiles. When I tried Fabricate Overlay, it kept crashing when I went to save the overlay.

How do you edit the config.xml file that you suggested? Does that require root?

The Android 11 menu really is so good…

LineageOS maintains these fixes:

  • seperate internet toggles
  • old navigation bar(I think)
  • long press for torch

Such a quality of life improvement

Are you saying you like the big buttons? Because Android 12 is when they were introduced.

No oops, I hate it. I think Android 11 was it when it was just working.

I liked the small circular QS buttons best from everything they’ve put out so far. If they brought those back and had an option to remove the button titles, I’d be happy.

I do like them

I’m confused. Quick access was introduced in Android 4 and those buttons were huge.

Sorry, Android 12 added the new Quick Setting tile called “Internet” that combined the Wi-Fi and Mobile Data tiles. Yeah you’re right, I had big square QS buttons on my old Galaxy S4 but when I switched to Pixel it had the small circular buttons for a short period.

Gosh, yeah. I vaguely remember having a custom ROM for my ZTE Blade which gave me quick access icons. Seem to recall I could display certain widgets there, too.

yeah I do and Im tired of pretending I dont

What exactly is the issue here?

It has no way to disable the text, even though EVERY android user knows these symbols forever. It only makes sense in some toggles.

No seperate internet toggles… so stupid.

No you don’t. You used to, and then the WiFi and Data buttons were both put under an Internet button. It’s aweful design. All of it.

You do know that you can edit that menu and get your WiFi and data buttons back? That’s what I did and I’m on android 13. Sure it’s not good that it’s not the default but it’s not the end of the world

How’d you edit the menu? I don’t have a option to separate those buttons natively on GrapheneOS/A13.

What phone are you on? I’m on a Pixel 6 and I’m not seeing the separate toggles in the quick tile edit menu. Afaik it’s only possible with a custom built or modified version of 13, or a third party app that adds the button itself.

My bad, I’m on a degoogled lineageOS rom with a oneplus 5t and have the options in my edit menu. Didn’t know it was different all around

I had to sacrifice some features for privacy and security, that’s one of them, amen
