Stupid, but I'd just lap it. Would give me the difference and worked well enough for the rare occasion I actually needed a stopwatch.
Also the Google sign in trick only works if you're signed into Google. I used to put lineage on my old phones and now GrapheneOS. I stopped doing the stopwatch thing long ago however.
I could use my phone like normal. It marks the start time then anytime you view it it'll display the difference. Reboots had no effect
I used to start a stopwatch when I'd get a new phone so I could see exactly how long I had it. Can't say I ever tried to move them to a new device though
You could try, but tourism is already on a decline to the United States
Finally a platform I can get behind
Is it bad I kinda fuck with this idea?
Apologies for the YouTube link, but it's the only source I can find referencing it at the moment
