      Out of all the people you could blame, you literally chose to blame the single least affected party here. Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible without stepping on the toes of vendors.

      Google does a lot of stuff people should hate, but this is not one of them.

            because Android is google? it’s supposed to be this Grand unified ecosystem, Google apps on a Google operating system on a Google phone, but anytime you have an issue with one of them, they all blame every other department so nobody helps you. Google has been hiding accessibility features behind paywalls since Android 11 as well.

              can you give a few examples of the a11y issues that don’t have at least somewhat well known alternatives that work more or less the same way?

              Personally I run android completely without gapps or even aurora store, the only proprietary apps I do actually use is discord my retarded router’s only method of accsessing the settings, eero app

                I’m afraid I don’t understand the question. are you asking if you can work around the broken multitasking feature? the only way you can do that is by cracking apps so that they’ll play in the background

                  what’s broken about multitasking? It’s working fine for me on Android 14. I use split view and desktop mode fairly often without issues, any specific applications that are broken?

        Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible

        I guess that is besides:

        • slowly, but surely, stopping development of many AOSP core apps in favour of their own proprietary apps.
        • ensuring many of their apps are basically unusable with a custom ROM
        • making it so easy for app devs to block custom ROMs

        Dunno, but that’s all Google stuff.
