It could still have branded firmware even if it isn’t carrier locked though. Did you buy it directly from Samsung as an unbranded unlocked phone?


Blame the carrier then, mine is unlocked direct from Samsung and doesn’t have Facebook or anything like that. Once it hooked in to a carrier for the first time it installed the carrier apps but any and all are removable and don’t come back after.

Unless you’re defining bloat as anything but AOSP in which case I don’t want to talk to you.


Because the sound will be different. The amp is going to put substantially more bass in it. I could fiddle with the sound controls, sure, but a push button to make it be just right is easier and faster to switch between.

I’m going to hook it up like a normal person first so maybe I won’t even get back to doing this, but it was an idea I wanted to explore.


Car stereo/amp question
I'm putting a smallish (200x2) amp in my car Real Soon Now. The factory head unit can drive the speakers well enough to sound good enough for background music or an audiobook, but when I really want to play music it sounds not awesome. Better than a clock radio from 1992 but not by much. The thing is I want it both ways. When I'm playing an audio book I don't need the amp and want it to play directly without the amp in the speaker circuit at all. This isn't something beyond my ability to solve, I could knock out a nice solution with relays and blinky lights and whatnot to do the job triggered by the antenna/amp line like the amp would be, then switch that from the dash. But if there's an existing solution that isn't stupid expensive I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Has anyone done this or am I the only one who would even want it? One more important point: the amp will be using line level input, I'm going to install RCA lines for the future but the factory stereo has no low level outputs. It would be dead easy to do what I want if it did, but alas.

Droid-ify it’s, a better F-Droid client


I deleted the comment because I’m not sure it’s available as an Android app though.
