I only know of hermit and native alpha. 1st time hearing about this. Compared to hermit appears to be only 2 years old vs 10 years for hermit.

There are lots of mention of Native Alpha and hermit in the description. Very strange I never found this option in the 2 years it existed on the play store. Being based on firefox sounds neat. Good for everyone who wants their user agent to be firefox everyone even in lite apps.

Would give it a shot and see what it holds. But, I don't see myself switching from hermit.

Fuck this copilot/gemini shit. At this rate I will need a filter in my social media and news sources to remove everything related related to them.

3.5mm jack would be nice. But, its not a deal breaker for me. But, sdcard is a different beast. Having an external card means you can easily transfer some data without being reliant on expensive cloud storage or finicky android data transfer.

Plus, when you factory reset your phone. You can selectivity backup some data and simply pop the card back in without losing all your stuff.

YTmusic is the main reason I bothered to pay for premium. I was using Spotify and had a trial of 3months. The quality of recommendations was decent so chose to stick around. Adfree YouTube was another bonus.

Doesn't Sony still make compact smartphones?

The last two times there were also errors like not being able to upvote anything. Later, I found it was a global youtube issue. YouTube needs to improve to be able to serve people at its scale.

I'm a paying YouTube premium subscriber and use adguard. But, I have been experiencing the YouTube app being slow in loading comments for some reason.

Pros

• Rich accessory package.
• Premium build quality and no-nonsense design.
• Excellent OLED display with exemplary HDR support and high refresh rate behavior.
• Very fast charging.
• Very good stereo speaker setup.
• The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset offers excellent performance, flagship connectivity, and features.
• Great all-around camera performance.

Cons

• Battery life could be better.
• Ultrawide sensor is a bit dated with mostly unimpressive video capture.

Not to my knowledge. But, you can use one of the vivid color profiles to partially replicate it. The boosted colours should help with outdoor visibility.

Yeah, project mainline to reduce the impact of full system upgrades.

What good are 5-7 years of updates? If you don't let us repair our phones when we need. Assuming, everything else is fine.

Spoilers in post text are not supported yet. It will be a while before he adds support some update later.

Interesting, it appears they archived the github repos on may 19th after that tweet.

More ironic about them wiping your data considering they credit other ROMs!

This is old news, 5 months old. I thought they meant more manufacturers apart from google and samsung.

The newer Sony phones have improved software support of 3 OS & 4 years of security updates.

They are automatic.

Niagara launcher, kiss or kvaesto are the way to go. If you want a decent app search. I would also recommend Smart Launcher 6; the search bar is pretty good. Not to mention the automatic app categories you get for all your apps.

In colorOS smartphones. The default launcher shows ads when you use their search function. Fortunately, this special search can be disabled.

He probably meant to say Open Source operating system.

Something like samsung Dex on regular android?
