I'm not talking about ROMs I'm talking about google.
why post it on an android post then? go to degoogled or something.
because Android is google? it's supposed to be this Grand unified ecosystem, Google apps on a Google operating system on a Google phone, but anytime you have an issue with one of them, they all blame every other department so nobody helps you. Google has been hiding accessibility features behind paywalls since Android 11 as well.
can you give a few examples of the a11y issues that don't have at least somewhat well known alternatives that work more or less the same way?
Personally I run android completely without gapps or even aurora store, the only proprietary apps I do actually use is discord my retarded router's only method of accsessing the settings, eero app
I'm afraid I don't understand the question. are you asking if you can work around the broken multitasking feature? the only way you can do that is by cracking apps so that they'll play in the background
what's broken about multitasking? It's working fine for me on Android 14. I use split view and desktop mode fairly often without issues, any specific applications that are broken?
you used to be able to navigate around the lower screen as if it were your phone screen with the top screen just minimized. now, the two apps that you haven't split screen are tied together when you hit the recents button or the home button.
ah I see, I personally don't use more then two windows at the same time unless I'm on desktop mode (with free form windows) so the change for me was a welcome feature.I never thought it a problem, but I can see how it would be now for others. It would indeed be nice if they configured the behavior
