aren't they going to ask you to unlock it, or do as they do in China and run a quick scan using their special software?

THANK YOU π€, I can't upvote this enough.. It's awesome and sounds human.. now I can git rid of my Googled phone.. π₯³
Edit: after a test run, it doesn't seem to have a way to change the language, and installing a different apk with different language removes the old one.. π
Outdated and probably unmaintained, runs 32bit code, and extremely buggy... RHvoice is leaps ahead
I'm asking for something that sounds human like Google's TTS engine
If not a Pixel with GOS, I would say the second best pick is a Fairphone with CalyxOS.. And don't worry about the updates, they'll provide extended support for as long as possible, which could be years, CalyxOS is also awesome
Yes, I find that is the only way to use these phones, AOSP makes them usable again, but like I said they're constantly implementing and improving their digital locks to keep you from running away to a different OS.. It's so anti user freedom
Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung phones
- main reason: anti user freedom, and locking you in to their system, it's extremely hard to wipe out your phone in order to sell it if you have a Samsung account linked to your phone, and they make it hard to flash a custom ROM, imagine buying a phone with your own money and you still need the manufacturer consent to do what you want with it..
- confusing and slow UI
- Ads everywhere on the UI
- bloated with games and useless apps
- they don't take security seriously at all ( slow updates )
- short update period
- they lie in their marketing by giving big numbers ( battery capacity and camera quality for example )
And last but not least, they kill your apps
Ohh.. wow.. π€―
