[Rant] For me the last good version of the OnePlus 8T was Android 11

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 ?

No, 11 was already shit. It “optimized batterylife” by throttling Apps on my 6T. I mean fine if you do that, but just let me know and give an option to turn it off.
