Lawnchair V2 vs Nova
I've used Nova Prime for over a year now and like it, but I've heard good things about Lawnchair and now that it's available on the Play Store, I'm considering switching.
This is a thread to compare the two launchers.
Which do you prefer and why?...

Your alternative headphones connection?
Since more models are getting rid of 3.5mm analog output, what is your preferred alternative audio connection?
BT seems to be convenient, but audio lag when playing games is unacceptable.
I like using USB C digital headphones even it's rather clumsy (need an adapter), but audio is much better, and I can even use Apple headset with Lightning plug with compatible adapter from Anker.
What connection you prefer more?...

So.. I bought this new Xiaomi phone, (MIUI) and found out some horrible practices that many android-users should be made aware of.
Hi all. I'm sorry if you already knew this, but I would love to inform some android users about practices by Xiaomi and probably many others.
So I bought this new Xiaomi Note 8 Pro about 1 month ago. I've been hesitant to swap my sim-card to this new phone, since I kinda wanted to keep it "clean", and remove all bloatware before I use it. I didn't want it to get linked to me personally, so I also created a new google account etc.
Now I know what you're thinking... it doesn't change a thing. An...

PSA: Xiaomi still sends data to their servers, even after turning ads and analytics off.
Even after turning everything off and adb-ing some of the system apps, I realized my Redmi Note 8 (on Global MIUI 11) was still making requests after every app launch to [data.mistat.intl.xiaomi.com](https://data.mistat.intl.xiaomi.com).
