Negative. Just download the launcher, then you can pick the version of Spotify you want to use. Then it’ll download the apk. Basically like how YouTube vanced used to work. It’s been pretty perfect for my use case.

I only listen to music with my phone or on my desktop. On my phone I have a pirated Spotify premium app, and on desktop I just stream from YouTube with adblock. Don’t have any recommendations if you’re looking to download though.

Alright post the Murray’s

I mean that makes sense. Samsung doesn’t bill it’s front screen as a full phone, it’s supposed to be just a window for quick info at a glance. It’s probably more just Google hasn’t made its app compatible with the flip’s cover screen. In any case at this point the screen on the flip 5 is actually a decent size so it should be able to run any app like the razor.

Please post again when it’s a little more fully developed… Looks really nice!

Towards the end there anytime someone would pm me about something like 80% of the time it’d be a chat. I exclusively browsed on Reddit sync so when I randomly got on reddit desktop and saw I had like 10 chats from months ago it surprised me. Just goes to show how the community has shifted from when I first started 13 years ago and now imo.

I can’t really remember if that was an issue for my S4. I’m sure it happened like once or twice but I don’t really drop my phone and I’m sure the majority of people nowadays have a case that will pretty much prohibit the battery cover from opening. What I DO remember is keeping a spare battery in my wallet and anytime my phone was low (I’m terminally addicted and 3 hours of screen on time was the best I got back then) just popping that bad boy in. Was a great feature and took a lot of stress off of me in the days when battery life was terrible. I hope they can revive a feature like that in a modern premium phone.

I don’t think it’s much to ask for an application to do the basic things it promises to do. Also Lemmy has been in development for four years so not really “new.”

Looks super fucking nice… Now if only I had a Spotify account lol.

EDIT: Same fucking problem the official app has… Can’t put it into landscape mode on the now playing screen. That’s how I have my phone mounted to my dash and it will only go vertical… So fucking dumb.

I just hope it works, all of the apps I’ve used on Android have been so fucking buggy lol. Idk if it’s Lemmy’s backend or just poorly developed apps but man lemmy is forcing me to work hard to like it haha.

It really blows my mind to hear opinions like this because my viewpoint is so overwhelmingly the opposite. To me it seems like the clear next step; we have phones in our pockets and tablets in our homes. What if we could combine them to get the best of both worlds? The biggest issues I’ve heard are durability and price; both things that plagued early smart phones. You dropped your iphone from 2 inches or let it touch your keys for two seconds and the screen is ruined. The iphone 1 was $500, post subsidized, something unheard of back then.

Both of those are solved now and I’m sure in time foldables will do it as well. It might just end up taking apple hopping on board to really bring it to the mainstream like how they’re going to do with their VR set.

Can I ask why you think it’s such a gimmick?
