Can the user not simply erase OEM and load the stock Android OS and use the phone just as effectively (fully)?

- black_puppydog 7y agoIf the bootloader were unlocked and the devices well supported by lineage etc, sure. Sadly that's not the case. I'd love for Huawei to do that though. Focus on making great hardware, and make sure that aosp/postmarketOS etc work by default.
- SllX 7y agoTry actually selling that to an entire market. It hasn’t caught on. It might be that it hasn’t caught on yet, or it might be that it will never catch on. Or customers in these markets can simply disregard Huawei entirely, and buy something from a company that isn’t blacklisted by the US Government. $5 that most people would rather do that than install their own operating system.
- supergirl 7y agoi imagine no. google services and maybe all apps can get some hw id that tells them it's huawei. maybe a custom android built that lies about this. but then google might build more checks and so on
- ak39 7y agoThanks for this. Wow, this is incredible. What waste of perfectly-paid-for hardware. :-(
