I've managed to get Google Wallet to work on my dusty ancient custom ROM surprisingly (and it was rooted too). I'm hoping I can get it to work with Lineage OS when I finally chuck it on. But let me try and get stock updated to something released this decade ๐. I haven't considered a new phone and especially not a Samsung because bloatware shits me as well. And ads, I've had no ads system wide on my smartphone since 2012 and hope to keep it that way...
So you've been able to avoid ada using a custom rom? If so please guide me in your mysterious ways lol
If you mean ads - it was less a custom ROM and more the fact that it was rooted and I used AdAway.
However I've stuck to AdAway out of familiarity, there are numerous other options out there that don't need root, DNS66, AdAway and Blokada 5 appear to allow rootless system wide ad blocking using a local VPN although I don't know how that works in terms of battery life.
Awesome! Thank you for the info.
Have a wrong way round cat photo:
๐ป Gibson pics are always most welcome. What a cutie patootie
I'm glad you like them ๐ I'm sorry to be a pain, but is there a way to get them right side up using this site on a mobile browser?
I have no idea, I think you need to edit the picture or something and then upload? Post in today's DT, I remember a few people worked it out a couple weeks ago
