My Pixel 6 Pro just started making a sound anytime I take a screenshot. There's no way to turn it off[0].
I don't care about the de-Googling as much but I'm considering wiping to something freer, maybe Lineage OS. How destructive is that going to be?
[0] It doesn't do it when I take a picture with the camera (mCameraSoundForced=false) and I'm in a country where that would be unnecessary anyway.
- dotBen 2y agoThat's your reason to use something 'freer'? To avoid a screenshot sound? I mean, you do you but that's kind a extreme.
- ndr 2y agoIt's maddening that I tell my phone to stay quiet and it disobeys. All that code and settings live in a protected partition. If I have to root my phone for this at least I'd like it to be nicer to hack on.
- foresto 2y agoThey're talking about agency. Having control of the hardware they bought. The screenshot sound is just a convenient example.
- noman-land 2y agoIf you have a Pixel, use Graphene instead. It's incredibly easy to install and is better by every metric.
