    everything since then has either been deck chair re-arranging or the slow removal of features we once liked only to have them re-introduced 1-3 years later

    Perfectly succinct. I cannot put into words how much I hate this, at this point I am entirely fed-up with Android because of this shit.
    Nothing more infuriating than reading what changed on a new version and realizing all they did was move a bunch of shit around and introduce useless “”" features"“” meanwhile actually useful features for the rest of us who want to use our phones as more than a toy languish on and on (Floating Windows? Multitasking that doesn’t suck ass? Desktop mode?)

    Reading the update log on new Android versions has been giving me brain damage since Android 9

      I did that on my Galaxy S3 back then.

          Nah, it was Xposed hacks. Samsung preferred to make boot animations proprietary instead, so you had to buy their tool.

            The good days were you could root and Xposed and Custom ROM to your hearts content without having to worry about that PlayIntegrity shit…
