Is the phone as fast with Niagara as with the stock launcher? I'm kinda lazy so I don't really want to set up another launcher but Niagara looks so good.
This launcher is definitely money, I went to the pro version soon after setting up. I knew it was a winner.
Do it. You have nothing to lose at all and I think not skipping a beat from the stock launcher with smoothness.
So I've got a problem. The screen is staying dim. The screenshots are after I restarted it just now in my living room. Seems like it's been doing this all day and possibly yesterday evening.
I've rebooted it twice but it's still staying dim. Any of you had this issue?

No issues here but tick off the adaptive brightness and reboot, wait a little bit on reboot adjust brightness and then turn on again, it's supposed to learn from your habits when you slide the bar when it's onSo I've got a problem.

My 10 Pro Fold arrived. I’m having second thoughts as I really like my iPhone Air. I haven’t opened yet!
I may just return or it or sell it to someone here for what I paid so I can pass on the 40% off. Decisions!!

I still seep a Pixel 5 (not a typo!) as a backup and travel phone. Physical SIM cards are still the way if you go to some Eastern European countries. Plus I love the P5's size, weight, and screen size. Add one of those original P5 cases and you get the best feeling phone I've ever used.
I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to the Pixel 9a or the 10 but the Pixel 5 is still working great. I keep hesitating, put the upgrade on the back burner, and then change my mind.
I keep my phones in stock condition. No third party launchers for me. That's the beauty of Pixels - as close to vanilla Android as you can get.

So Google sent me a 40% off coupon for being a Premium subscriber, which I used to order a 10 Pro Fold and... WOW. As somebody who hasn't used Android for the better part of the past decade or so, I'm VERY impressed.
If this is what we have to look forward to with Apple's foldable next year, I'd say we're in for quite a treat. And yes, I know the Z Fold 7 is thinner and lighter, with a better main camera, but I prefer the Pixel's overall design, MagSafe support, full IP68 water & dust resistance, bigger battery, better speakers, as well as slightly wider outer display without being TOO wide (as the iPhone Fold renders make it seem it may be).

It's actually lighter, and less bulky, than my 17 Pro Max with pretty much any case on it. It's genuinely a bit MIND-BOGGLING how we now have several foldables that have weights and dimensions very similar to standard candy bar phones that don't have the ability to open up into a mini tablet.
The OS is also buttery smooth, and I actually like using Gemini vs Apple Intelligence (which I've primarily kept disabled, as it just hasn't personally provided me with much value in its current iteration). I think I may also enjoy stock Android more than iOS, but the jury's still out on that as app parity is notably lacking.
Cameras are way better on the 17 Pro Max, obviously, but the ones on the 10PF are more than usable in most lighting scenarios.
Battery life is also MUCH better than I anticipated. And on par with the smaller Pro in my anecdotal experience, which I am more than happy about.
I've only had it for a few days though, so I still need to get more familiar with and truly LIVE with it. But based on initial impressions, especially at the $1079 price point I got it at with that 40% coupon, I am more than pleased with my purchase. And beyond excited to be living that foldable life, at least part time anyway.
