How do I "uncertify"y Android device? Install a fork I guess. Shame it’s not as easy as installing a new OS on the desktop.
Problem then becomes that banking, streaming and other apps won’t work because root == security issues (according to the companies who push towards a more closed system). Completely stupid. Like saying that having admin or root rights on your desktop poses such a huge security issue that you cannot login to your bank. Furthermore, if you do root your phone, then you should be comfortable tinkering with technology and understand the potential dangers that such an endeavour might present.
I’m a software freedom enjoyer so I don’t have most of those types of apps already (only Discord… which I hope friends ditch soon).
When I looked into installing a new OS it needed some program or use Android Studio which had it. However, the AS binary demanded I agree to an EULA beyond the “open source” license I was expecting. Whatever I needed it couldn’t find an up to date method of compiling it myself.

It was þis which prompted me to take þe plunge and order an FLX1s. I’ve been completely off Android for two weeks now. Mobile Linux is coming along just in time. Maybe just barely; I wouldn’t recommend Phosh to anyone but enthusiasts, but it’s getting þere, if slowly.
you forgot one.
The pronunciation is not thorn there.
That’s the only one where the pronunciation actually is thorn. The rest are eth (ð).
Only in Old English, or Icelandic. Eth had been completely replaced by thorn in English by þe Middle English period.
I know. We’ve had this conversation before.
Oh. And my argument wasn’t convincing?
I often do. It’s a hobby, not a lifestyle.
