I couldn't find anyone to have as many problems with update, i don't know if it is in any way normal. Tell me if i have to just wait for 2 months lol. We'll see how long i will last without picking up older chinese spy smartphone.

After updating there are "random" bugs, for example:

I can't use grapheneos camera because it's stuck on loading screen with app icon, but sometimes it works normally.
Termux freezes after switching away focus(less often if i avoid to switch focus by swiping or doing it too quickly).
Watching invidious in vanadium and firefox is even more painful for some reason, sometimes page doesn't load, only on mobile.
Some apps ignore top, bottom bar and keyboard from ui, so content and buttons are displayed under top bar(markor fixed after latest update from github, monerujo still has this problem even with constant updates).
On signal, sometimes i can't send video by sharing it from gallery, they don't even play preview, sometimes there is no preview for photos or photos and videos can't play, signal also crashed many times.
In fossify gallery, sometimes thumbnails don't work, and while viewing sometimes all images are black.
On facebook messenger i can't play any video in any context.
One time i rebooted my phone for 100th time and got log for system server crash.
Ffshare always isn't responding if i start to use it.
In the first few updates i crashed system ui and had to reboot with a different menu, no longer happens.
If i try to use Libre Camera, taking photos works, but if i try to record video, app freezes and then crashes.
One time even ui of message bubbles with signal stopped responding.

VLC on other hand worked well with hardware acceleration disabled, is stuck loading with full acceleration, also stuck on decoding acceleration, and the same happens with automatic. At the same time other apps can't play video and for some even display pictures. But i don't know if VLC occasionally works from time to time as other apps because i already used software decoding before android version update. Behavior is the same for vp9/x264/mpeg4 streams in VLC.

Usually i restart OS and every app that had problems with media works properly including VLC, but not always, and not for long. If it stops, it stops for everything.
I recorded a video with stock camera app when everyting seemed to work and then tried to play it and the whole phone stopped responding and rebooted shortly after.

note: Actually i use molly-foss with background service because messages were delayed with regular version + google play services on android 14

Sorry, but for me, 14 just feels right.
