Samsung is removing several options from the Android recovery menu with the latest updates for Galaxy phones. Specifically, the update is removing:
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe cache partition
View recovery logs
Run graphics test
Run locale test
After Google decided to ban sideloading (their alleged “change of heart” is increasingly looking like a PR exercise), I decided to not buy any more devices devices based on American platforms.
My A73 works fine, but I planning to get a Jolla phone later his year. Going to use both in parallel to aid in switching.
I do wish European banks and eGov services started porting their apps to SailfishOS.
This is a different sideloading. The sideloading you are talking about is installing apks this is where you download a software update zip file and then sideload the update to the device to either upgrade or downgrade the os. This also has nothing to do with Google as their phones still have this capability
I am aware of the difference between recovery options and sideloading applications. :) I’ve installed/used LOS (and other ROMs) multiple times and I am a heavy user of F-Droid and its applications.
Just pointing out that this is just one more reason to avoid Android (saying this a Samsung user).
