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

    Agreed. 4.4 was the pinnacle of user-configurable Android. after that they started removing features and locking things down.

      tbh JB 4.1~4.3 was the best. Had real performance improvements over ICS (project butter), KK had some weird stuff like the new sdcard policy.

      wish i can still use it, but even firefox ditched support so…

        Not disagreeing on that, my comment was more about configuration options. After 4.4 they started removing so much QoL stuff under the excuse of simplicity: the indicator LED, several volume controls, the headphone jack, made gesture controls default, etc.
