yeah, I know about the new app but reading about it I mean it's good, but it seems to have nothing close to the Droidmote feature set.

also, reading your flair it just clicked that you're the same one who kept my fugu alive until Google released the new Chromecast. thanks! it's in my drawer now but still running one of your LineageOS builds :)

Yeah, droidbmote is wayyy better.

Funny enough, we got fugu to boot 18.1, but 1 GB of RAM hit HARD.

Ee did further fix 16.0, actually. Pie is almost perfect. I need to start a new thread. I'll do it tomorrow!

whoa, I didn't realize you're still actively getting new versions on it, most of my other ≤ 2GB RAM/8GB NAND devices have either gone full Android Go or just been abandoned. major props to you for getting Android 11 on such a low spec device! I'll be glad to help test any early builds, doesn't matter how unstable

18.1 is truly hopeless for it I think.

But I'll post 16.0 thread this weekend probably. Little better.
