What’s next?
So far this is how I view all the updates done:
Last good version of Android: 7
Last acceptable version of Android: 13
Linux mobile distributions are probably not yet fully usable and I don’t see another alternative. Perhaps it will get better than Android and iOS just due to them getting worse. I wish Nokia kept it going with phones like N900.
Explain? Android 14 is just Android 13+, they actually fixed stuff like the wifi and bluetooth toggle acting the same.
I didnt touch Google Android in years, so Google Android for sure the last tolerable has to be around 9.
But using GrapheneOS or something else, Android is very very nice. It just always works, is fully FOSS, extremely secure etc. When my Linux Laptop crashes, I will always have my phone as backup.

Same thing this post is about but with Android 5.1 apps.
it’s not a hard block, there’s a
pm installflag to bypass it if you want (--bypass-low-target-sdk-block)
