ah I see, I personally don't use more then two windows at the same time unless I'm on desktop mode (with free form windows) so the change for me was a welcome feature.I never thought it a problem, but I can see how it would be now for others. It would indeed be nice if they configured the behavior
what's broken about multitasking? It's working fine for me on Android 14. I use split view and desktop mode fairly often without issues, any specific applications that are broken?
can you give a few examples of the a11y issues that don't have at least somewhat well known alternatives that work more or less the same way?
Personally I run android completely without gapps or even aurora store, the only proprietary apps I do actually use is discord my retarded router's only method of accsessing the settings, eero app
Out of all the people you could blame, you literally chose to blame the single least affected party here. Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible without stepping on the toes of vendors.
Google does a lot of stuff people should hate, but this is not one of them.
Do we really need to be so constantly cringy about it? Yes, custom ROMs are great. I run one. Lots of other people run one. They're great. Don't get me wrong. But you have to realize most people simply don't care for one, Most vendors also don't really support their phones well under GSI, so things like camera and stuff like that hardly ever work properly.
In a lot of cases, it is quite a bit of work to get a custom rom flashed and have it working well. The technological skill gap between most people who will run an Android phone and even enthusiasts who will so much as think about installing a custom ROM is so massive that you may as well be a hacker to them.
it should, AOSP external desktop mode does work with 3rd party launchers, and you can even kinda get it working on samsung, but it was a massive hassle getting it to work for me.
in development options I believe you can enable desktop mode one external display, it's been around since like A10, and with A12L they really fleshed it out. but A14 was another decent improvement.
I use it a lot, I keep a little dock with me and a small bluetooth mouse and keyboard, when I'm typing on the go, I can just plug in when I come home and everything is there.
exact same thing with my emulators. I can also chroot into arch and get a full blown desktop environment if needed
this would be... somewhat possible, you can't really boot GSI images, however the folk at BlissOS do have an android generic project that makes porting custom roms to x86 a lot easier. By porting android images to generic x86, we can serve them as temporary VMs, just like https://distrosea.com/ (I've actually been thinking about doing something like this for bliss specifically but funding says no lol).
This is contingent on roms being ported to x86 though, off the top of my head there are images floating around for
Bliss (Obviously)
Lineage OS,
Vanilla AOSP,
and specific verisons of
Project sakura (A11 iirc)
CarbonROM A10
Bootleggers A10
RessurectionRemix
Pixel Experience
Dirty Unicorns
Tesla
I believe there are also images of LMODroid and Calyx floating around... somewhere
This is for sure the case for vendor solutions, but AOSP itself is still quite the lean OS. Android also has GO variants which perform even better at low resources, (Bliss also has builds of these if one is curious). They are extremely responsive. I don't think Bliss as A14 go builds, but we do have A13 go builds, and they are extremely responsive on very low end hardware, the bar is actually support for SSE.
Bliss currently has a hard requirement on SSE 4.2 or greater due to a load of changes (occasionally some work is made on lowering this but it's slow and a lack of real motivation), but pretty much everything I have tested that is supported works fairly well, from my old i3 desktops, my atoms and celerons etc.
this really isn't true at all. android works great on 2Gb of ram, you don't really hit issues until you load gapps. If you don't it works great. I actually run BlissOS on my old Asus t100ta and Im not the only one.
When you do nothing something like xfce works great, but when you actually start doing things like browsing the web, watching youtube etc then it starts to really become a slog. Meanwhile something like BlissOS is actually usable even when watching 1440p content (gpu not strong enough to test UHD)
ah my bad, I misread, I thought you had tried sudo waydroid app install.
Failed to get service waydroidplatform usually happens when something fails when communciating to the container, this usually means the container is partially loaded so you will need to stop it and start again, you may even need to do a full reboot
