I wish Google still "Don't be evil."
I had a business selling G1 (Still an excellent form factor I hope they bring it back.) and I would Root and Superuser them and install custom Roms.
They were really amazing, the early Android modding scene had a lot of potential.
25% better battery life.
40% better performance.
More customization options.
Excellent GUIs.
But I ramble.
Anyway nowadays it's hard to Root and get SuperUser and I don't understand why.
It's actually put a lifespan on Android which is sad.
Now Android is like Facebook, constantly getting worse and losing sight of what made it better than alternatives.
I don't want to be one of those old people who think things were better in the past, give me something to work with.
