    Not updating if they take away Installing 3rd party apps and bootloader unlocking.

      Good luck with that. Installing third-party apps is done through Google Play Services and it auto updates without your consent

        My pixel has an update they call security patch but it is a fix for charging speeds, camera shutter, etc.

        Fear every update

        The icons are all weird looking, the clock app groups are different and now it turns off all alarms in the group which I don’t want, the material accent color changed and Theres no way for me to change it back, the lock screen fades in weird, the lock screen does a tint based on the image but it looks like baby poo cause my lock screen is me by a cabinet with my cat so it tints it brown, the notifications have weird swipe animations, and my app names are white and they used to be black, so I can’t read them against my wallpaper

          Out of curiosity which device is this?

          For the accent colours, have you tried pinching your home screen > Wallpaper and style > Colour Pallete? This was changed for me aswell, but was able to switch it back.

          For the tint on the lockscreen, have you tried doing the same pinch > Wallpaper and style > Select the lock screen > Effect.

          As for the other stuff, were you using Goodlock before? If so, you may just need to open Goodlock again and update the apps in there. Or you will most likely solve your other issues through Goodlock?

            Samsung Galaxy S25+

            Color palette tints everything/all text so that doesn’t work for me, and the original color isnt there. Ive never changed that setting either

            Pinching lock screen doesn’t give me any effect options, same with home

            Never used goodlock
