The only advantage Android has over iOS is being able to install [any] software.

Just about. There used to be more, but if im honest, if it works in iOS then its a decent experience most of the time.

But my custom apps makes or breaks my phone. Its so convenient.

iOS is infinitely more polished than Android. It’s rather stable and at least the main notification system isn’t that bad for privacy.

Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.

That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.

Well I’m using graphene and it’s so laggy and can’t keep more than one app open at a time, so.

Is there any way to keep more than one app open at a time? - Lemmy Today

Whenever I go to my homescreen or otherwise load another app the previous one closes. If I’m browsing Lemmy and I open a page linked on a post to read it, my app will have reset itself when I close the tab and I either have to give up or root around for the post. This OS is borderline unusable in this state. It even evicts my homescreen app so there’s a 5-10 second lag when tapping the circle button. Any tips? I have 8GB of RAM, which should be more than enough for a dozen apps.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see what phone you have in that post.

I didn’t include it because it doesn’t matter. 7a.

I’m not sure I follow, it seems like the issue you are running into is a hardware one, the software may be trying to compensate, but it seems like a performance issue first and foremost. I’m just curious if that is the case since I can’t think of another difference between you and I.

Its a RAM issue.
