Maybe OneUI 8 stable rollout is scheduled for early September, which is just absurd as development was already finished back in June. August security patch (OneUI 7.0) is scheduled as the next update for almost all devices

Oneui 8 ,Android 16 stable already arrived with Z flip/Fold 7 pre-installed on 9th July Still 👐👐

Yes for first time setup you do have to delete some apps, disable notifications and permissions for some 1st party apps, not randomly download suggested apps, etc (9/9) Join - @tech_zone40

AOD customizations, there are a lot of them Very customizable and fun (4/9) Join - @tech_zone40

you can change the fonts You can download from a library of their own fonts (most of which are bad) Or download a third-party app, and apply fonts from there (3/9) Join - @tech_zone40

The default launcher by itself doesn't support adding icon packs through the direct customization But, through the 'My Theme' option within settings, you can actually download and add third-party icons However, there is no option to force the icons for unsupported apps It's under wallpapers and personalization, here's where you can find it There's also 'Themes' here if you want to add any and save them The icon change does not break animations, it's still the same Even if you use, it completely breaks how they look in certain places like recents (2/9) Join - @tech_zone40
