PSA: Do not name your custom theme/style anything with an emoji

I noticed my wife changed her lockscreen font on her Pixel 3a XL.

Somehow I had never seen the ability to do that, but it looked interesting.

I created a custom theme from setting > display > style and theme

To be funny, I named it:

😎😎😎

The joke was on me, as I can now not even get into the display menu without it crashing.

I contacted Google, and their best suggestion is to completely reset my phone.

Which would be great if Google backup actually worked well.

So now I'm trying to decide...

Realme : Not so developer friendly brand and namesake open source OPPO devices.

I recently bought a realme XT because it had an unlocked bootloader and it has been a nightmare to work with this device because of the following reasons.

Fingerprint fiasco : They linked fingerprint with the widevine L1 so that when someone unlocks their bootloader, the widevine level changes and fingerprint stops working.

It definitely did exist, but everyone has forgotten about this feature: https://www.google.com/search?q=gboard+federated+learning+site:...
