In my experience that is correct.

Yeah, i just run a very heavily modified android now. Hard to find good phones (with features that i want and need) with enough software support. Couldn’t get lineage os working on my zenfone, it was a horribly buggy experience and I couldn’t get mobile networks working. I needed more reliability and stability, so i manually debloated and stripped almost all telemetry. Rooted this thing and blocked anything that isn’t whitelisted.

Not OP, but when i was running custom ROMs on my main device I carried 2 devices, i had my main phone in my pocket and my secondary in my purse. The secondary ran “Android” so i could use tap pay and the like.

Not sure if trolling or genuinely curious, but it’s Debian.

Hottest temp I’ve ever been in was over 50. it was painful just walking outside.

Good thing i never updated mine from stock firmware, haven’t had any overheating issues.

Edit: i never use it for anything important, it’s effectively a spare device i use for anything i can’t do on my main device.

The notification light for me was never all that useful, i have unique ringtones for everything but i do agree they are an awesome feature for folks in spaces where their phones need to be quiet

Omg yes, i miss Android phones with keyboards, i had an lg one and that keyboard got so much use that a few buttons died.

Hmmm, that’s deffo a contender for my next device, we’ll see how many years i get out of my zf9 before getting one though lol

Most manufacturers dropped all or most of those features.

Open bootloaders, ir blaster, 3.5mm jack, sd card slot, replaceable batteries. The list goes on.

Oh i didn’t know about that, i bought a zf9 a few years ago, how unfortunate i know they also dropped a bunch of features and crammed a ton of ai garbage on it so i paid it little mind.

Asus is good too

Edit: not any more

I do quite appreciate the updates stardew had gotten to improve longevity (esp for modding)

Freeze the Samsung keyboard app is the route i would take

My dad had a Knoppix boot CD in a case with all the games, of course I messed with it as a curious child, I have no idea how old I was, but it was my first foray into the wonderful world of not Windows.

It’s like eating junk food. Sometimes it just hits the spot.

Similar to how certain mods like RSV and the like behave?

Gameboy -> GBC
GBA -> GBA SP
