oh look, i googled 'best custom rom for nexus 6' and every result has good roms.
what we don't want to see is endless discussions about the discussion itself. because it's offtopic spam. if you want to discuss how we discuss things, open a separate post about it, and don't do it in a thread about phone cpus.
cyanogen? there are a hundred other builds. google your phone model and custom rom.
they don't live forever but they do live over 10 years on the latest android. which beats apple and their security patches any day.
it's not what i do -i used a fairly weird build.
the generic steps for ine way of doing it: download a recovery program, install it on the phone. pick the android rom you want from the recovery program. click install. it'll reboot your phone and install it. this is the way a gramma can do it.
a prefer hooking it up to my laptop with a usb cable and just typing the commands in the android shell. that is the way gramma cannot do it.
there used to be no catalytic converters on cars. gas used to be leaded. factories woyld burn stuff and dump it into the air without a filter. diesel autos had no soot filter and ran lower temp for extra unburnt gas. we used to clean things with cfcs.
right now, today, in the western world, is the cleanest it has ever been.
in chicago, a hundred years ago, meat factories across the river where the irish lived simply burned leftover animal parts. it would rain ash, 24/7. when those living there crossed the river to the office area without the ash, they would throw up from the cleaner air.
i have a feeling you are a millenial, and are just discovering a world of huge problems. what you don't realize is they are tiny, very ild problemq, that were huge and have been greatly and continually improving. you want to make changes to feel important, when the reality is, people have been working in this for a hundred years before you were old enough to notice, and what we have been doing is working quite well on improving things.
right now, today's air pollution where you live is having the smallest effect in over a hundred years.
this is like new adults screaming how bad trump is. because they don't remember bush, or clinton, or reagan, or nixon. and when they read about it, they think it's a story and can't imagine living through it.
"we're literal nazis now!" yeah, cops used to kill people in a union on behalf of corporations. we locked americans in camos for having squinty eyes. we made weed illegal to stop white women from screwing black men. we had drafts for overseas wars where no one attacked us, forcing kids to go die for nothing. we had bush and mueller - the honest superstar trump-punisher lie to congress on tv saying he found weapons of mass destruction in iraq and start an insane war. billions of cash shipped there and not arriving. and that air problem in india? that used to be where you live now. it got better.
the premium market for clean air you talk about? it didn't come when things were 10x worse. it's not going to come now, or in a decade when things get even better, as they have been.
the cheap non-premium market with cleaner air is the suburbs. your problem was solved ages ago.
my 10 year old motorola nexus is running android 10 -which is the current version. you install the new os on android by downloading an app, which installs the new os on reboot. it takes 15 minutes, and gramma can do it.
next you'll tell me mac laptops are better because you can't put windows 10 on your old hp laptop, because hp's system image for it only goes to windows 7.
facebook has done a crazy number of bad things. a few nerds like me hopped of, and total their user base grew. but nerds like me never had facebook in the first place.
linkedin used your password to log into your emails and download them, then spam people in your contacts with invites, coming from you. then they sold user data to facebook. now their app was caught copying clipboard data from your phone and computer. no one cares, except for me who has a harder time finding work -because i'm not on linked in.
giving you bad flight prices when you're looking for flights? that literally happened. but surprise -you don't remember.
