Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.

The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.

Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

I've got old apps that won't work any more.

People give Windows a load of shit... but it's a million times more usable than Android

Where do you run your old Windows Phone apps nowadays? What about new Windows Phone apps?

On my Windows Phone silly

Can't tell if that's a horrible wallpaper or a totally fucked up screen

It's a photo from a disused quarry that my granddad used to work in

How?!

[-] Hamartia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It still works. Most of the apps are borked. Windows Explorer hasn't been updated in 5+ years so doesn't work with most sites. Baconit escaped reddit's 3rd party app purge and still works. Imgur still works well but with all the genX on it reminds me of icanhazcheezeburger.
