Android 12 is where they started making everything worse with the quick action and settings redesign, and it’s been going downhill since.

    AFAIK, it’s just the base Android UI because it’s the same in LineageOS and vanilla builds.

    • The quick actions have gone to hell. There’s nothing quick about them anymore and customizing them is even worse than it already was.
    • Every UI element is oversized and seems made for the hot doggiest of hotdog fingers
    • The organization of the settings, especially the network/mobile settings, somehow makes even less sense than before
    • The wallpaper / background config is just awful nowadays. I don’t know if that’s “Material You” or what, but just let me pick an image or no image or a solid color. Don’t present 3 different apps to handle changing the background, two of which do nothing.
    • On the Google side, they’re shoving more Gemini shit in
    • Now Google is gatekeeping even the apps you want to sideload
    • Even with animations disabled, there’s still too many animations/transitions. I’m using an e-ink phone and this alone just destroys the experience.
    • Gesture navigation is just terrible but at least you can dig through the settings to re-enable 3 button nav
    • A litany of other small gripes

      I know it barely scratches the surface, but the Accessibility settings menu has an option to disable animations. Failing that, there are settings within Developer Options (yes, I know) to speed up or disable most animations.
