About the home page redesign for KDEConnect's Android app

Greetings,

Just saw the redesign for KDEConnect's Android app:

https://tintotint.eu/programming/kde-connect2/

Everything looks nice, but I felt like the home screen is visually
cluttered and thus disconnected of what is being show for the other screens
of the app, where everything looks rather clean and much more akin to the
android visual guidelines.

I ignore how this kind of things should be managed or how are things going
on with the VDG, if they ever had a hand redesigning KDEConnect's android
app, but I did a quick mockup of some ideas - trying to remove redundant
things, using fewer icon sizes and styles and moving a bit closer of the
proposal for the other screens. Also it frees some vertical space.

Please ignore the icons and the typeface I'm using here, though, as I'm
doing this in a hurry. I can provide custom SVG icons specially made for
KDEConnect if needed - I happen to be a graphic designer.

I am doing this here as I couldn't find a way to reach the person doing the
aforementioned blog post via mail nor submit an issue at GitLab.

Best regards and thank you all for the good work on this
