Right on, that’s good to know. And you’re running totally degoogled?

I tried the first method on a degoogled phone a few months ago. Doesn’t work 😕

Been meaning to try the second method.

This is why brand loyalty is stupid.

I thought they stopped making phones a while ago. The only one I’m aware of in recent history is the ROG phone, which they seem to forget about every year.

That warning is a reminder to me that I own the device and can do whatever the fuck I want with it.

Mediatek has a mode similar to Qualcomm’s implementation. Rooting my Wyze robot vacuum required it.

KernelSU is very much an active project. Last release was just two weeks ago.

Like Magisk did with SuperSU, and SuperSU did with other root solutions, KernelSU will likely end up replacing Magisk. I’m keeping an eye on it. Magisk plateaued after topjohnwu started working for Google.

The only thing that Google won’t let the Magisk dev do is circumvent Google’s own Play Protect stuff. That’s it. He said as much when he got hired at Google years ago.

The problem is that Google is putting more and more things behind Play services instead of AOSP.

Ok, I poked through that thread and a few other linked threads…

Big yikes. It definitely took a turn downhill. And posting what is essentially a “cease and desist” on nel0x’s repo over the name without actually trying to do things properly.

I’ll start using nel0x’s fork instead once he starts putting up non-gplay builds.

No, it’s not Syncthing itself. That’s owned and maintained by a completely different team. This is regarding Syncthing-Fork, which packages Syncthing into a neat Android app.

Or they’re just autistic and not good at communication.

Shit happens, and while the initial transfer was sketchy, everything I read from the new maintainer appeared to be in good faith.

Oh no!

Anyway…

Imagine working under Daniel Micay… Fucking yikes.

I’m convinced that battery life is intentionally nerfed to one day on every single smartphone. Because every single year manufacturers come out with this same bullshit “don’t worry, this year’s model will get you that multi-day battery life you want without compromise!”

It’s just a carrot on a stick to get people to buy the newest device.

This lets you root while keeping the bootloader locked.

Wait, what? That’s a pretty big deal!

Oh boy, Daniel is off his meds again.

Valid, I can respect that choice. I prefer having full access available, but that’s just how I do.

I don’t need root, but there is something about a company trying to tell me “no you can’t” that makes me really want to prove them wrong.

I’ve rooted every single one of my Android devices over the last 15 years. I have no plans to stop. I paid for the device, therefore it is mine, and I will do what I damn well please with it.

In their EU store, Fairphone already sells degoogled Fairphones with /e/OS next to their regular Fairphones with Google.

Is this what you mean with

from the factory

?

Exactly what I mean. With Fairphone bringing the brand to the US, I’m hoping that option carries over.
