  • Once they rolled out ads on the home page (Shame. Shame. Shame.), I installed “Launcher manager” and “Wolf launcher” to give it an interface I really like. A big background picture, some large buttons for the commonly used apps, and then progressively smaller buttons as you scroll down the screen for the less commonly used features.

    It broke once when an update rolled out, but since then has been running fine and I never once see the bloated monstrosity that is the default home screen.

    The only qualm with my setup I have is that access to the configuration sidebar isn’t as intuitive as it was with the pre 9.0 version (which frankly I don’t remember anymore aside from the general impression). That’s a very minor price to pay to have an interface without ads.

    I’ve never liked dealing with excel for anything other than manual work. It’s data integrations have grown beyond my familiarity, and I’ve never liked any of the python libraries I’ve used for reading and writing excels formats. Go accessible with something like CSV, and you lose most things of value that excel can offer.

    Currently though, this is my strategy. I’ve got folders of Excel sheets that I manually add exports of various things to, but I’m missing the piece that ties it all together, and I’d sure love to do less of the work manually.


  • Not entirely, just for some features, including data export past a certain date iirc. I probably will wind up doing just that though if I cannot figure out how to get the data off my phone. Right now the phone app is the only place I can even see that the data exists, so I’m slightly afraid of changing anything in mfp lest it ‘sync’ my data out of existence 😕
