Android Oreo.

What is with this aggressive battery saver, holy shit. Even if I whitelist stuff, it still gets killed, (Even if there's free ram for everyone to share), and it always chooses my blue light filter as the first to go, effectively momentarily blinding me as my eyes scream in pain. And night mode isn't an option anymore, because Samsung decided to make a retard move and rip it straight out of oreo on the J7, meaning I can't force it on.

Thanks Samsung, it's just what I wanted for Christmas, blinding blue light.

And to make matters worse, because of new security fixes, nothing can display overlays above System UI anymore, so I get blinded every time I open Quick Settings.

And I can't root and install custom roms because of course I'm on Verishit of all carriers.

Fuck this.:hateit:

J7 V. It's a verzion. And I've scoured the ends of the earth and nobody has even tried

If it's on Verizon I'm pretty sure it can't be rooted. Verizon phones don't have unlockable bootloaders.

Ouch it's on oreo so that means it's in the QB3 bootloader. I don't think there is anything you can do at the moment :(

And don't use those "one-click" root apps (like Kingoroot), they're malware

BUT is it odin flashable? You could maybe go back to like 7.0 Nougat and atleast get root?

Not sure about Samsung phones, but I know trying to downgrade the bootloader on Moto phones will brick it. I wouldn't try it

So I can get a locked down apple, or a locked down android.

It's literally like picking which poison to drink
 
Itzumi
Yeah, but why should my eyes have to suffer because, "oh you gotta get the expensive flashy phone for that."

Samsung is honestly one of the worst when it comes to user-friendliness and QoL features. Looks like you're shit out of luck, unfortunately.
 
Itzumi
That's not mine because mine doesn't have facial recognition.
But still :rofl2::hateit:
My next phone is not going to be Samsung, fuck them
