In recently purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro with MIUI I see the message app isn't available for many popular apps, those messages usually show when the android version is old but I have android 13 so I don't understand why I see those errors so much in the play store.
Yeah, this would be the main. There was a time when VLC had blacklisted huawei phones from installing their app on the Playstore when they had enough with the negative reviews.
I stumbled across this today and thought it was worth sharing. I have used every one of these ROMs except /e/ and they are all good projects in their own right.
So I just bought a OnePlus 12 recently, I was used to controlling volume using the onehand operations goodlock module in my Samsung galaxy S23. I basically never had to press the volume buttons to control the volume unless absolutely necessary....
As previously announced for the Pixel 8, the 8a will be getting on-device Gemini Nano — in a future update — as a developer option that users can enable for Recorder Summarization, better Gboard replies, and Magic Compose in Messages.
I'm guessing there is a negative in enabling this feature if it's going to be tucked in developer settings. Likely increased app reloads and the phone running hotter.
That's why I got a smart band. It tracks all useful metrics like HR, sleep, stress, SPO2 and does limited smartwatch stuff. Plus, it costs much less compared to a smartwatch without needing a ton of battery to boot with.
Pebble was the best smartwatch maker to date. It's unfortunate no one is capable of replicating the features, battery life, and community support like them. I like snazzy fast displays like anyone else. But, I also like weeks long battery life. A pebble like smartwatch with E-ink displays should be resurrected in the near future some day.

The camera should be better. But, what midrange smartphones still provide a headphone Jack? I have all but seen it disappear alongside fading sdcard support.
By midrange I meant Something more like A35/A55/M55, etc. So upper midrange hardware. Moto doesn't include a jack or even expandable storage on edge 40 Neo, edge 40, edge 50 pro.
As for Chinese phones the most prominent even Xiaomi has stopped including them in some of their phones. Not that I want to buy them. My software experience has not been great with Chinese OEMs.
So, if I want good software(Oneui, NothingOS, Moto HelloUI, etc) support and quality my choices are slim to zero.
I have made my peace with wireless unfortunately I don't want to do the same with micro sdcard. But, even that's fading in so many phones...
Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI).
Basically, they still support it. But, won't provide a GKI. So, vendors will need to do more work if they intend to run android on a RISC-v CPU.
It takes ages updating apps one by one. Your smartphone is capable enough to download and update multiple apps simultaneously speeding the install process significantly.
Edit: just downloads for now and hopefully updates in the future
But, it is efficient. If I download 2 or 3 large apps they get downloaded simultaneously and the lowest size app gets installed 1st. Meanwhile, previously it had to wait until one app was downloaded then wait to install them one by one. Which would be as much as 3 times slow.
Do you agree? There are also phones (motorola edge 50 pro) running UFS 2.2 that equal if not surpass phones running UFS 3.1 in file transfers and random read/write tests....
