Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it's all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i'll just have to stop using them, cause I'm not installing the play store.

I wish i can degoogle my phone but its a few months old so no rom support and its a samsung :<

[–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How is it being a samsung making things worse? I've never flashed a samsung phone before so I may be very wrong, but isn't unlocking the bootloader easy?

And now that I think about, does samsung have their own system file format or something? Is that the issue?

its bcs they use their own flashing method which got leaked

Omg I completely forgot they had a proprietary flasher, yeah that makes it much worse.

E: wasn't there an open source implementation called Heimdall?
