Hadn’t heard of that, looks like a great option on xperias.

KISS on minimal mode is the GOAT

KISS launcher on minimal interface with a weather widget is my favourite.

Ah fair enough

I have the same tablet and after installing lineageOS on it it feels like a new tablet. Maybe give that a shot before buying a new one if your main complaint is that its slow.

Its called the steam deck

Pokemon blue on gameboy or Super Mario 64… both were around the same time I think.

Just got retroarch setup with all N64 games so the nostalgia train is about to start rollin’!

I actually use lineage on my tablet… its an older unofficial build so I’m not sure how representative it is of the wider lineageos, but IMO its good at what it does, keeping old devices running long after Google abandons them, but its nowhere near the polish and thoughtful design the grapheneos team puts out.

1000% pixel 8 + grapheneos.

Sauce: former Samsung user tired of the bloatware, spying, terrible battery life due to constantly running bullshit in the background, etc. who moved to a pixel 8 + grapheneos. The experience is night and day and its quite liberating to finally feel like I own my phone and not the other way around.

Same here. No play services, no problem.

Up until December I was still using my old S10 without slowdown. Never factory reset, just debloated via adb and used KISS launcher (minimal mode). Since it was a snapdragon one, I couldn’t unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom. Had I been able to, I wouldn’t have bothered switching to a pixel and graphene os yet. Point being, if you debloat your phone using adb you should be fine in terms of slowdown. There’s guides on GitHub for what packages to remove safely.

If you are able to unlock the bootloader and use a custom OS, even better.

Bro if it sounds too good to be true it is. Of course they aren’t going to tell you its stolen. 🙄

Go to your local police station with info on the seller and report it. As it is you are most likely in possession of stolen property, which “a reasonable person ought to have known” was stolen. Could be part of a larger stolen goods ring, maybe your tip will help shut them down so the next person doesn’t get fucked too.
