Cool. When can I have another location or backup provider on my Android phone?

[–] madis@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You can already use any backup apps. ADB-based, root-based or simply copying the APKs.

Can't back up app data without rooting my phone, and I can't root my phone until a third party gets the make files for me to use with magisk, and Motorola is not forced to provide them.

you can definitely back up apps and most files using adb and a computer, and probably even your phone itself by doing adb over the network back to your phone

also, i think there's a way of setting up a different location provider in the developper setings on android!
