This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
they just want to confirm a malicious actor didn’t develop it
So Newpipe, SmartTube, Nintendo emulators...
Clones of opensource apps bundled with ads that violates license is OK, but restricting everyone to build and test apps from source so it can test new features and report any issues is too risky for the user
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I literally have no idea in which community this question goes.
I just got Samsung Galaxy A16, and then I learn just how controlling Google/Android is becoming. Research says I SHOULD be able to deGoogle and flash a ~~linux OS~~ custom Android ROM
My question is, as a beginner, which one should I go for? does it have any issues I need to look out for?
Note: Edited for clarity.
You cannot do so on Samsung devices. They have disabled the ability to unlock the bootloader on their devices and therefore you cannot install custom operating systems on them anymore.
If you want to install custom software like that, you always have to do your research beforehand and choose a device that will allow you to do so.
You should return your Samsung for a refund and then start over with a device from a company that's less abusive.
