- The update includes features like a new launcher app, App Lounge app store with privacy ratings, and a “wall of shame” for tracking apps.
- Based on LineageOS 20, /e/OS 2.0 offers bug fixes, security updates, and performance enhancements, along with device-specific improvements.
Use eOS for couple of years now. Not a fan of the Bliss launcher, but its the easiest thing to download a different one. I use Simple Laucher from fdroid.
Love the project, but I would really like if they stopped looking like a bootleg iOS. Stock android is fine, especially after Material 3. Also the name is annoying to type in an URL bar.
Yeah, I had to install a different launcher Bliss is not my style. I’ve been enjoying lawnchair tho
Those icons are terrible.
Why?
Just not a fan of them, they feel kinda iOS to me. That doesn’t take away from the awesomeness of the ROM though.
I have heard that said by a few people about e/OS. I though they looked slightly better than the previous ones, but I can understand the criticism
They’re good icons cause you’re right: they are blatantly cribbed from iOS. Moving away from Google doesn’t mean making the whole OS look like Apple’s…
I’m using e/OS - the operating system with the most annoying name - for ~5 years now with my Fairphones. Banking works, App Lounge is anonymous and it syncs everything with my Nextcloud. I really like it.
I want to check their source code but it looks like e/os goes closed source. Want an example? They say Bliss Launcher is version 3. But where is it? In their gitlab repo is the last one 1.8:
This is really weird :(
I don’t like how the UI is a straight rip off of iOS.
Put another launcher. The guts are pretty cool
This makes me wanna try it now 😆
Wonder if they’ll make fold friendly versions
I’m really interested in trying it if one day I have to get a private phone on top of my company’s iPhone.
It’s great that we start having alternatives to Apple and Google again.
