I miss those days. Ive jumped to iOS for quite a few years since, but I do miss the community and tinkering. I don’t miss the shitty battery life and hoping my phone doesn’t brick when I flash a new ROM or kernel.
so apple fixed the battery life thing? i knew macbooks have insane battery life, but i thought iphones still couldn't do 2 days which i think is the line between shitty and ok. anyway samsungs could never and still can't do more than 2 days in my hands, but I've been amazed that my p8p with graphene can easily get 4 days (I'm a pretty light user).

Wait what ? Side loading blocked
Well it was a good run, time to look into custom roms…
Bootloader is blocked so no custom roms. You will take whatever shit they are slinging and like it.

Most relatable meme in a while, feels weird to feel so much nostalgia for an Operating system

😢 AOKP was king. I miss all the extra silly features they packed in. You could make it look almost nothing like Android by the time you were done.

real
Soo, anyone ELI5. If Android is basically Linux, how hard would it be - given drivers are not an issue - so just make a Linux phone and mass produce it? You probably don't have that many apps, but it will be possible to call and/or use messaging apps.
You can, but no one will use it because you won't have Android apps on it. The lock in is real
