They’ve always been called ROMs, not sure why, but it’s been like that since the beginnings of Android

Remember when phones just came unlocked out of the box? You could just flash whatever you wanted on day 1 and without any data loss

Glad I didn’t buy a zenfone, looked like a great option but that sucks

wouldn’t call them up to date

they are a little newer

Huh

The US is quite a large country though… Approximately the size and population of all European countries combined. Calling it a continent wouldn’t be too far off

Yeah basically grub but on a USB stick and with ISO files

Hell Yeah mate, thanks so much! That’s working perfectly!

Hmm, I get the error “failed to import profile data”

Thanks, is this a profile or task? Having trouble importing

How?

This certainly happened to me ones. “Can I see the screen on minimum brightness while it’s bright outside?” the answer is no, I could not

Always name and shame

I prefer holding the power button for 5 seconds

It wasn’t a file share, I have one of my drives mounted in Linux and in Windows as a general storage drive in a dualboot system

I recently renamed a few movie files to something with ‘:’. That worked fine on Linux, but lead to some issues on windows. With a lot of errors from next cloud for file sync and me not being able to rename them without booting back to Linux. Fun stuff

I’m not sure if it was an official feature, but I remember messing around with KLCK (Kustom Lock Maker) some years ago

All those lockscreen features have been a thing before, but got removed for some reason

Buying a new phone in the range of 500€ and having to replace that every 4-5 years, comes down to about 10€ per month.

Fair enough, I thought you meant a real subscription of some sorts.

Yeah I definitely agree with you, phones are a necessity nowadays and it’s not getting better

I’m practically forced to spend 10€ per month, even if I’m hesitant to buy new stuff, just to have a reasonable phone. That’s crazy.

What? Who forces you to pay that?

Yes you can unlock the bootloader (not supported on the Japanese model and there is no US model this time), I’m not sure how well the camera system works on a gsi. On previous models they had to use proprietary blobs to get it to work properly
