Kia ora!
I’ve been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I’ve just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what’s changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I’ve had a hunt around xda but can’t seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!
What do I need to know?
I’d say the fact that it was bought by an analytics company tells you everything you need to know.
Why else would they buy it?
of course, I want to know how urgent this is - it’s stealing my data now, or they’ve only just bought it and perhaps just blocking updates is enough (until I find time to find a FOSS replacement)?
It’s been years since they bought it at this point, I haven’t looked into it myself, but i’d be astounded if they weren’t already.
It was announced in July 2022 and also they bought Sesame which I use too 🤦
