Now the question is if people will be stupid enough to replace all the freedoms their desktop OS still gives them with the vendor controlled shit show that is mobile OS.
That ship has sailed. Hence this being called a “post-PC era”.
You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if this starts a trend of ultra-cheap “laptops” that are just hardware extensions for phones with no processing capabilities of their own.
“Lapdock” seems to be the popular term. They’ve been around more than 10 years but never gone mainstream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapdock
Really fricking cool!
Thank you for sharing this.
Cool. Samsung did this a decade ago though.
Everyone is abandoning Android with a passion thanks to Google’s bullshit.
Everyone is abandoning Android
What do you mean?
Cool. Now let me legally record my phone calls without rooting my phone.
Built-in to GrapheneOS for a while now.
Except it’s not automatic
I mean you still gotta press the recording button to record. You want it to auto record every phone call?
You want it to auto record every phone call?
Yes. That’s how my phone is currently set up. My ex-wife is a psychopath, so everything gets recorded and backed up.
I want to love Graphene. I really do. But Jesus fucking christ, every thread the devs get involved with just seems like they’re sniffing their own farts over blatant refusal to implement a feature in any sensible way. System-wide hosts-based adblocking (DNS/always-on VPN is not a reasonable solution) and automatic call recording should be basic-ass features on a custom ROM of this caliber.

Which customrom […] are you using?
Stock (for now), but rooted because I’m a firm proponent of owning the device for which I paid a shitload of money.
Which […] dnsblocking are you using?
I use hosts-based adblocking via AdAway (from F-Droid). Root required. Not the reason I rooted, but a nice benefit to having full and complete control of MY device.
Two problems:
- No automatic call recording.
- Banking apps don’t work on GrapheneOS thanks to Play Integrity APIs, so you probably need to root to get them to work.
If you need to root anyway, might as well use BCR.
