      Fr this crap has been corporatized long enough. Haven’t seen anything great since android 7 and 8.

      Not to mention the dalvik runs like a joke by modern standards. Really underutilizing modern hardware by running everything in locked down ultra battery saver java.

      I wish even some Chinese company would fund a big OS project given that they have the resources and market where Google can’t effectively compete.

      Been nothing but reskins and useless forks for a while now.

        It’s not just about saving battery. Phone chips are fast but they lack appropriate cooling and overheat real fast if you try to take advantage of that performance for more tham a moment.

          Yeah except Apple has been doing just fine with swift and proper app pausing for years.

          Everything App elements in android reset whenever you swap apps for more than a few minutes. Even all the default gapps do this. They can’t seem to hold a context menu open or keep a page loaded when in the background because apparently these elements don’t get saved.

          I think the only thing on my phone that has stayed consistent is Firefox, and I can only assume it’s because they hacked their way around this by having its own custom saved state since it’s a browser.

          We’re not bottlenecked so hard for storage or memory anymore, there’s really no need to keep enforcing this select feature saved state default.

          Android already uses zram and yet OEMs are still shipping with an additional swap switch because these java apps eat an atrocious amount of memory.

          I can load a fully decked out compiz desktop with a 3D transparent cube and every window animation imaginable and the ram stays at 1.6 GB. Yet android struggles to stay under 2 at idle on a 2d homescreen.

      Linus is so far behind the competition that it’s not even funny. I don’t need a broken bored system that can’t even do a simple photo edit without crashing the system. No thanks, no loonkeks for me
