e.g. stuff you should always have on hand to make your chinkshit experience good

a noose

like, epoxy, superglue, precision drivers etc

i've had a few shit phones before

from 2013

IOCEAN X7

amazing specs on paper

but the android rom was fucking shit

and the screen was 50hz

so people should coordinate their buying based on how supported they are by community roms

maybe

I had a jiayu G6 after, which was veeeery good

it was quite expensive tbf

and cheer on friendlies to provide good support and buildbot generated builds

but i dropped a weight on it at the gym

kinda like the way the rockbox community worked with the archos devices

archos still exists?

no

but rockbox is nice

would be cool if cyanogen or others would be as coordinated about chinkphones

they cant be cos mediatek never released source code

even if it means being more narrowly focused on chinkphone providers more willing to communicate

i actually have no idea about the background

do u know of the mtk6577 era?

but i know that i'd be a lot more willing to support a builder that has legit and regular cyanogen builds even if i'd never install cm

no

i avoided dicking around with phones at all until recently

phone u have atm?

my edc is a iphone6; i have a moto g and a bunch of other android devices

i'm... not gonna buy any more apple devices

lol. your next phone will be a droid?

prolly

trying to find a decent one

i've got htc one max atm

wanna get a zte axon 7

for dem front facing speakers

i don't really sweat my phone that much

cause i do nerd work and it puts me in front of a computer most days anyway

i rely on mine quite a lot

you're the guy that's gonna study econ right

well, I might be but yeah
