Why you may ask? Simple : Bloat, battery life and the UI (the last one is subjective)

Since I updated my Oneplus 8T to Android 12 I felt like something was wrong. The constant notification to access location for nearby devices despite me not wanting to (no option to disable that easily). All the fucking preinstalled apps. And the ColorOS layout.

Since this version I searched and searched for a good custom rom with good battery life and for now I settled with Jaguar. It’s based on Android 11 and the developer is very security conscious. You can even lock the bootloader if you donate.

The problem for now is SafetyNet. I can’t launch all my apps because of that.

Am I the only one who felt like this since this update ?

    Android 12 is when they merged code bases with their parent company’s OS, ColorOS. That’s also the time I decided to move to Pixel as OnePlus was slowly getting worse.
