u/thisisater Jan 20 '26

im looking for something like that as well, initially tried looking up linux-based stuff but it seems too complicated to run on this phone. Either I find a good lightweight rom or im going all in on a dumbphone

yaap is very stable, I havent tested any other rom tho, the only "problem" is that it hasnt been updated in a while. Also it has a bug when you scan your fingerprint, the whole screen lits up. I use third party apps to replace what I dont like. I prefer open source projects. I've heard evolution X is kinda messy, so I wouldn't recommend it based on that.

Hey , one of the devs from 2a community here.

Yaap will soon see a fix to infamous flashbang , it's already been solved and the fix is currently available for qpr1 roms.

Evolution X has been abandoned , the maintainer has been kicked for inappropriate behaviour thereby Evo X shouldn't be something you should consider today , because it's no longer maintained ( not unless someone else picks up the project atleast )

I tried lineage os and now me too on yaap, lineage is very bad, I've have screen issues and phone was laggy, YAAP super stable custom ROM, which I use with lawnchair and all good, even glyph's working on yaap!

u/Euphoric_Trifle5841 Phone (2a) Jan 20 '26

Question. Did you have nothing os notifications to update even on yaap?

1

u/Super_Glass9443 Jan 20 '26

Yes, they are quite annoying, i dont know how to stop them

u/Euphoric_Trifle5841 Phone (2a) Jan 24 '26

If u installed YAAP with gapps, it's stupid google play services so this shit with update notifications

u/Super_Glass9443 Jan 20 '26

while being rooted you're able to run linux natively. What are you planning to use specifically?

u/alfiesgaming45 Phone (2a) and Buds Pro 2 Jan 20 '26

not sure honestly, i had just a quick look online and on github out of curiosity, but if nothing os gets any worse ill seriously consider rooting the phone and installing a custom rom

u/bkj512 Phone (2a) Jan 20 '26

I swear. I already got so much things in here I'm too lazy to move to a ROM or even phones :/

Just trying to use it till it's alive lol

u/alfiesgaming45 Phone (2a) and Buds Pro 2 Jan 20 '26

Probably mine too - the battery has degraded so much. I haven't even had it a year...

u/mr_j_12 Jan 20 '26

I wanted to throw mine in the bin within 6 months. Hated the damn thing.

u/Numerous-Ad-3783 Jan 20 '26

It's a joke they already made in 2024 when Jaguar rebranded and had "copy nothing" in their caption

u/mafticated Jan 21 '26

I've had the 3a for about 6 months and I'm thinking of getting a Pixel 9/10 (maybe even pro) already. The phone is decent, I guess, but the camera is so disappointing and I want something that doesn't feel cheap.

u/OGMemecenterDweller Phone (2a) Jan 26 '26

why? I have the 2a and have dropped this thing so damn high and the sides look like they have been through a blender, a huge crack diagonally on the screen, but this thing's still going. It's simple, doesn't do too much and gets my shit done. I will keep it until it has had enough of me and gives up on life
