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).
I’m comparing the galaxy s2 I believe and other older phones I would use to flash ROMs. Battery life was always an issue then. I’m sure it’s gotten better. I’m just speaking from 2011 time period.
Lmao, yeah, batteries have improved quite substantially for all phones in the last 14 years. Unless you want removable batteries, then everything is worse now.
😢 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.
YES! I was talking with someone recently about this ROM. I couldn't remember what it was called, but I had decked out my phone on a fully wild unicorn theme based on it lmao.
real
Yes, Titanium Backup was great, but have you also tried Helium? Also where's Odin3?
I recognise almost all of picture one, but it's been a while since I used them, I should upgrade again. Is it really that much pain now?
This is why I moved to iPhone a few years ago. Every premium android was a legit knockoff of iPhone in every single way, down to the lack of a headphone jack and SD card slot. Why continue chasing these phones that aren’t even as good as the real thing?
Android USED TO be better than iPhone, but Google is just gung-ho on enshitification. Apple, for the walled garden that it is, at least works well with its eco system. Android is so fragmented and complicated that it’s collapsing under its own weight.
Low key it was fun flashing roms back in Late 2023 on a Xiaomi Phone.
The only unfun part was unlocking the bootloader
What's the % of US users that use non-Apple non-Android smartphones, like <0.1% still right? I basically just use phone, SMS, browser and youtube on mine so possible I'll switch over when its tried and tested enough. Some tech experience but not enough with phones, specifically to be confident.
Not sure, but I'd bet it's less than flipphones / dumbphones. For the average person, smartphone and android/apple are probably synonymous.
