Not 100% sure that’s the right terminology, but it would be nice to be able to keep an eye on the time and my notifications and battery level while using this app without having to pull down the notification shade or go home

Really small thing I can live without, but if there’s a way to do that I’d love to know

Edit; I think these two users figured out my issue in this thread, thanks to both of them!

    Nice, thanks! I’ve never had/made the time to learn any kind of programming, but anyone who does open source work is right up there with teachers librarians and firefighters in my book of “people I’m predisposed towards liking” (honestly more of a pamphlet than a book)

    Anyway, speaking as someone who doesn’t know much about any of this yet, where is that at in the development process? I’m guessing people send code ideas to dessalines/their team, the code is reviewed and approved by them, and then it’s sent off to the Google people for a review before it gets to the play store? I’m not in any kind of rush for this fix, so I’m just curious if it’ll get to me eventually on its own or if I will have to have a bit more initiative (sideloading apps is on my list of “things I really should have figured out by now” (honestly more of a book than a list))

      Hahaha I’m definitely nowhere near close to a firefighter.

      But yeah the process is pretty much how you described it, we just write some code and send it. Then there’s usually a bit of back and forth of code reviews from the team and then it gets incorporated into the project.

      Jerboa is available from a few different places, the fastest and easiest way to get updates is to use F-Droid with the Izzy repo, for which you do need side loading but it’s really easy on Android so you shouldn’t have a problem there. It will also get to the play store eventually but it usually takes more time because Google has to verify the app as you said.
