    The only advantage Android has over iOS is being able to install [any] software.

      Just about. There used to be more, but if im honest, if it works in iOS then its a decent experience most of the time.

      But my custom apps makes or breaks my phone. Its so convenient.

      Ill probably get a uconsole or something. Or keep my current phone til all this blows over.

        iOS is infinitely more polished than Android. It’s rather stable and at least the main notification system isn’t that bad for privacy.

        Edit: I want to inquire: what exactly is wrong about my comments. Android is a piece of shit. iOS is a piece of shit. iOS is smoother because Apple can engineer the parts more smoothly. Android lets you run software. I hate them both but I need to run Termux.

          Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.

          That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.

            Well I’m using graphene and it’s so laggy and can’t keep more than one app open at a time, so.

              Also running GrapheneOS (on an older phone) and this is not something I’ve ever experienced, nor seen as an issue in the forums.

                  I wasn’t denying the fact that you’re experiencing this issue, but since this is the first I’ve heard of something this bad in my 3 years of using GrapheneOS, this does appear to be a fairly unique case.

                  Provided you are using an otherwise well-functioning and currently supported device (and not an emulator), and that you are using a stable release installed via an official method (and there were no install issues), your best bet would be to ask for help in one of the community chats or forums: https://grapheneos.org/contact#community

                  You will be asked to share which device you are using though, which you did not seem comfortable doing in the post you linked to.

                  Unrelated, but I learned about the Android “task manager” (Running Services) from that post of yours, so thanks for sharing that.
