Did consumers actually reject touch screens in cars? Like android auto and Apple CarPlay are pretty popular in the US


Imagine it gets fixed but only in Google Autofill and not Android auto fill



Is Google going to stop supporting android due to lack of profitability?
So at the moment Apple hold the 1st place in mobile OS marketshare, I feel the unfortunate thing that will happen as marketshare drops Google will slowly move to supporting projects other than android, and eventually drop support entirely and focus on making better iOS apps, Device makers will start making their own operating systems with tighter locked down appstores in order compete with iOS, we already see this with Amazon planning to switch to a linux based OS in future fire devices.

One of my biggest problems always was that you cannot have proper app opening/closing animations on third party launchers without root.


Can we allow unintended installation for third party AppStore’s like fdroid and aurora tho



Is it like all custom roms now or does it work on non rooted roms like graphine



I always disliked RCS, I kept telling people it’s a walled garden, mainly controlled by Google


There was a very recent project that reversed enginered iMessage which I assume they are using as reference.


is it using the iMessage servers again, or is it still talking to iMessage directly?


The reason is locked bootloader’s, some carriers lock the pixels bootloader down meaning you can’t install custom roms. Some lock it until the device is paid off or during a 90 day period.


The Pixel 8 Pro is likely the best. You can flash graphine or pretty much any rom. Samsung really doesn’t have custom roms anymore. If you get a pixel buy it from the Google Store


I would say pixel 8 pro, likely the best phone you can get that will have support for 8 years plus. Flash graphineOS or lineage if you don’t care about high security and want Android auto


Kinda sucks android atuo is s google feature rather than an android feature



graphine usually gets updated for as long as Google is still releasing patches, now of course graphine is a FOSS Project so zero guarantees of any kind


Oooof, its kinda sad given pixels are some of the few devices with an unlockable bootloader.


Has a smartwatch other than the Apple Watch ever done well?


I have a pixel 6 and would say its a pretty decent phone, generally I think Googles problems are more in its stock software, graphineOS seems to work great.


I think stock android has something called NightLight, at least its on graphineOS


For me I really only miss the days of not having to charge my headphones. Its hard to remember that’s something I need to do
