cyanogen os

Unfortunately not as it doesn't have the function, all the copies only have widgets for the most basic features like time.

Better off with android widgets anyway....

the perfect solution, would be if android forced a certain design language on developers, so everything looks nice together, every design comes from the same book. but allow them to include as many non standard ones as well.

rather than a miss mash as every app developer likes the look of something totally different and thus it makes it impossible to get a widget page looking nice unless you only have extremely basic widgets.

They have Material Design which the majority of developers use. It is consistent.

this just isn't true at all, this does not cover the looks and widgets etc.

Create a visual language that synthesizes classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science.
Develop a single underlying system that allows for a unified experience across platforms and device sizes. Mobile precepts are fundamental, but touch, voice, mouse, and keyboard are all first-class input methods.

which is not what I'm talking about.

load up 5 widgets from 5 different apps, they aren't even remotely similar, they look massively disjoint and in no way follow the same design principles.

what you are talking about is under the hood stuff.

however apart from that, I'm actually getting on surprisingly well. Compared to the xaomi which was rubbish and arrow makes it much better, although a few things I wish they would change.
 
as I said install 5 widgets and tell me they looks the same and fit nicely together.
I mean fitbit is bold colours and round,
audible is a big chunky black rectangle etc.

how you can even say that with a straight face.

again notice I'm saying widgets, not app, not menus etc.
 
Sorry I was talking about apps, not widgets.

The widgets aren't made to fit together as you're only supposed to have a few. The UI is geared towards not using widgets as much these days. I personally don't use widgets as I find going into the apps directly just as fast and you get more information.

You'll have to understand that Android is quite different to Windows Phone but I think you'll find in time that it's a far superior experience.
 
Looks like the beginning of the end for Cyanogen OS. They have laid off a chunk of staff from the OS arm of the business after its failed to make much traction in the market.

CyanogenMod and their own app development remain unaffected it seems.
