I keep hearing about fx why not xplore? It has tons of really great features and works great on flip phones without mouse!
Did you ever try it?
Simply the best… link it with Google Drive… ahhhh ![]()
When you look in system>app>phone you see a apk. Where is the actual app stored. The way I see it you use an apk to install the app so where is the app? And why does it delete the app when you delete that folder?
Where are you getting that from?
Take a third party app. You open the apk and it downloads the app and afterwards you can delete the apk. No?
I little confused what you are talking about can you explain more?
Generally when you delete a apk it doesn’t effect the actual app. By system apps when you delete the apk in system>app>… that deletes the app.
Exactly unless you delete it from data but the apk on your internal storage is just a package that the phone copies and then puts on your device
So when an app is running it is using the apk?
On your internal storage or in data?
Data. Or in system (for system apps)?
For example if you edit the apk in system do you have to reinstall it or those changes go into effect without another install?
There you need to keep the apk because there is where it is running from.
how are you editing it?
Is Linux to Windows like Android is to Apple?
No
- Linux, windows, and android can all technically be put on any hardware while Apple is restricted to Apple-made devices
- Linux and Android are open source, while Apple is not. I’m not sure about windows
- Linux and Android allow heavy OS modifications. Windows allows semi of that but not really. Apple can’t be touched
What I meant to ask is is it another system to run on a computer like iOS is a different system to run on a phone, or Linux is Windows.
Technically, there is the hackintosh, but that concept may be gone soon without a ton of work.
Yes.
Windows is closed source.
As a side note, it doesn’t belong in the same category (or sentence) as iOs, Linux, and Android.
The former is the worlds most popular piece of malware, used to run software on desktop computers in the slowest, most insecure, unstable, outdated, and unaesthetic way possible, by consumers because they don’t know better, and by some devs because they don’t have a choice.
The latter are high quality, polished, secure, innovative, beautiful, stable, and high performant operating systems, loved by everyone who uses them.
