Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Well that's all very well, but I've got a bathroom speaker I can no longer access.

So how about instead of Daddy Google deciding what's best for everyone, they let things run and give you a warning?

Hell, I've even got games I've paid for that are now gone. Honestly, fuck them for even thinking that's acceptable.

Why can't you connect to the speaker with Bluetooth?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't allow direct connection. You have to dick about with a stupid app to put it in "speaker mode" first.

Damn that sucks!!!! I wish there was a way to sandbox older apps. I've ran into the same issue with old apps before.
