Apple and Google will gladly erase the works of developers to chase profits.

Calls and SMS work fine, I just have to disable automatic suspend. I've never tested Data so I don't know if that works and I have no idea if VoLTE works, though I don't think I need that for calls here in Canada.

Thanks for the reply! So with the exception of not testing data, everything else works? WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, audio, etc?

Wifi works, Bluetooth works, Audio works most of the time, but can be a bit weird sometimes, GPS requires some weird flashing of android versions that is beyond me, camera works but is cropped and wonky, and fingerprint senor and usb-otg don't work at all.

Sounds like the good ol' Openmoko days.
