What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost? - eviltoast

For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    I used to have a custom ROM that would allow me to change the color based on which app had the most recent notification

    Even more than that, in early versions of Android this setting was baked in. I had colors set based on text messages, emails, etc. I think around 2.x was when the option was removed.

        I don’t know about the original, but I rocked a Droid 4 for the longest time. It’s probably my all time favorite phone. I really miss how quickly I could type and the extra screen space I got from not needing the software keyboard.
