      Thanks for the pointers.

      Now running lawnchair. Just wish it had app updates via f-droid or store…

        Yup, it’s been some time since there was a coherent team development effort being made on it. Until they get their act together, maybe using Obtanium would work?

      why is it “best”?

      not baiting, just curious. it’s an offline app that functions correctly. Why would i need to keep it up to date like an os or a browser or a host file?

        More features, bug fixes, and better compatibility with the lastest version of Android.
