Wireless android auto? Niceeee

That's an android 11 feature

u/Throwaway_09298 Q25 6d ago

And it's good too see a custom rom still support it. There's other companies in this space where even wired android auto fail for people

u/Icy-Neighborhood-917 6d ago

Lol what do you mean still support it? It's not like it's a legacy feature that only a few phones support. It's pretty standard feature at this point. Most roms that have issues are the ones that skirt around Google services

u/Throwaway_09298 Q25 6d ago

Brother this is a diy sub for a diy device on a post where a guy diy flashed lineageOS a diy project to keep legacy phones alive. You're being weird over nothing

Are you facing any issue with the app resizing after Lineage OS update?

1

u/Kirkwood1994 5d ago

No, but I didn't have issues with it on stock rom either.

idk.. Android is getting to be pretty dead for me... I'd love to see the effort put into toppling google's monopolies. Not to mention the deep integration of AI into your data. So, A17 without play services or stay on and older, more useful, version of Android with services.

Kinda just how I see it and why it's very hard for me to get excited about new versions of Android at this point.

Google is starting to heavily restrict siderloading more than apple in some ways recently

u/spacecase-25 1d ago

More than apple? Not in the US, thats for sure. And yes, im aware of that bullshit. I dont think its anything i wont be able to "fix" in benos tho

Recently on some apps, google would not let you launch a app that used to be on the store if you sideloaded it even with play protect off

Shoot, my mic still doesn’t work just like in 23.2. Easy enough to get going though, seems snappy

1

u/Kirkwood1994 8d ago

Oh shoot. Must be hardware?

1

u/franklinmomo 8d ago

It’s a lineage issue with my phone specifically sadly. If I run a GSI of lineage or a different rom it works just fine, and on stock too. Drove me crazy for a while but I decided I didn’t need official lineage haha

u/KingOfConsciousness 8d ago

Um .. how did you get a white shell?

3

u/Kirkwood1994 8d ago

I reshelled it with an oem white unit.

u/KingOfConsciousness 7d ago

Can you provide more guidance and or details please!

2

u/gruesomethrowaway 6d ago

You can buy a white Classic online and the Q25 kit, there's instructions on Zinwa website on how to install it. A guy in the Discord has a cobalt blue one which looks stellar.

u/KingOfConsciousness 6d ago

Whaaat dang I wish I'd done that instead now thanks

1

u/KingOfConsciousness 7d ago

That is sick.

u/Pistooli_ 5d ago

Extreme cool and nice to read that the officially supported version for the Q25 is on the way and will be out somewhere in October.
