I don’t have facebook and what is snap chat?

agurenko has left #fedora-telegram: "Konversation terminated!".

I mean, Facebook for Android is basically a RSS reader with comments and likes and it's what, 200MB download?

I don’t have facebook and what is snap chat?

snapchat = it lets you send photos to other users which expire after some time and you have simple photo retouching capabilities

Not really. Locked bootloader, kernels....

I did a research online you are able to get custom boot loader and custom rom for android device

That’s really dumb…

I bet no one is using this stupid application

Seriously I DO NOT use any social media because I hate the whole idea about posting your life online and let other people know what are you doing.

I didn't imply that, I don't use most of these things, but you must be reading news?

I know the feeling. I use to be on Facebook but as I learned more about it it made me more uncomfortable

I only read news about car techs, computer hardware and travel

For many, yes. But not for the Note 8 that i know of.

I have no idea why everysingle application request to get your GPS data which is dumb

Samsung locks the models tighter every year and the models from verizon/sprint are locked so hard even chainfire has his problems

You can just disable that in android 6+ luckily

For many, yes. But not for the Note 8 that i know of.

Since Pixel is a google device I assume it will have CM rom just like any other android devices?

The open ones you can flash but do research if vendor models arent locked

Samsung locks the models tighter every year and the models from verizon/sprint are locked so hard even chainfire has his problems

Alright this will make me not want to buy this phone. I do not want a fully locked device.

Also cm is not existing anymore.

It's Lineage OS now

Lineageos is now in its footsteps

Confrimed that Pixel has unlockable bootloader

Confrimed that Pixel has unlockable bootloader

Yes, but does the vendor pixel has that ability

Lineageos is now in its footsteps

So Lineageos have the same stock android feels? like no pre-installed crap

Yes, but does the vendor pixel has that ability

If you pay $50 more to get it unlocked you will able to be unlock the boot loader

Exactly. And if you want it, root.

Worth the investment.

Exactly. And if you want it, root.

(without you get netflix, with you get adaway and full control over your device.)

And imho one should try without the google apps first unless you find anything you desperately need that has no free replacement.

Do you know whether there is a nice free replacement for voice search/device control? Mostly control.

I need a email client which android come with one, also for phone, music player and messaging app. I only need to install telegram, firefox and the stupid BMW connect to get everything I need for a phone.

Like Simon

Have no idea, the only time I need voice is while I am driving and the Voice built in iDrive is pretty easy to use

Someone had started working on it but only a linux prototype exists. But android has builtin speech control

Except the bmw connect every one of those is open source...

Yep…. I need a ssh client to do some of my work on my server remotely, VLC for video and that’s all

Termius is a nice client, don't know whether it is opensource or not, but it is the one I found supporting all Kex schemas I use

It's annoying to me
