- marcan_42 5y agoJust flash something like LineageOS, which has a built in updater that works seamlessly. It's not surprising that making changes to an OS designed for delta updates and an immutable OS partition breaks updates. That's just how the technology works; the solution is to use an OS that is designed for that kind of use case. Root patches for original vendor OSes are never a particularly clean or secure experience.

- marcan_42 5y agoWhat google goodies? The camera works fine with Google Camera, if that's what you mean. So do things like the background song identification and such.
