        Oh definitely.

        I still hate my old phone for locking ADB behind a Mi account registration and when I wanted to go into the theme settings some stupid marketplace app opened from which I could quit by hitting the back button to het to the actual android theme settings

          yeah, also the constant wait times when you install APK… it used to be a decent OS but starting with MiUi 11 they started really enshitifiying big time.

            And now they changed the name to HyperOS (my dad has a phone with it installed and is constantly complaining about it)

          sounds like a perfect opportunity to use this account to unlock the bootloader and swap out the os for something not enshittified

            I thought about doing that but if I remember correctly they wanted some information during account creation that I was not willing to share (it was probably my phone number).

            Doesn’t matter anymore. My new phone is a pixel 7 on which I immediately installed GrapheneOS
