What would coherent Google look like?

Given Inbox's demise and the talk about product shutdowns, what would Google's portfolio look like today if they saw them through to their logical conclusion?

​

For example, instead of pivoting Hangouts (for use with enterprise) for Allo, they kept Hangouts and continued to improve it. What issues would they be working through? What wins would they get from the users' perspective?...

[Discussion] Magisk rooting software and modules can now be installed on the Samsung Galaxy S10. For those that love Android rooting features and apps, would you sacrifice your warranty? Some devices are "root safe", but Samsung is known for their steadfast Knox encryption, which CAN'T be restored.

Do you use any Chrome flags? If yes, which? If not, how come?

Genuinely curious as to this, Chrome flags are something I've always used to help performance on both budget and flagship phones as I feel they can really improve the general user experience of the browser.

I love the bixby button!

People constantly complain about the bixby button on Samsung devices, and I don't get it. I just got myself a Galaxy S9 and that button is probably one of my favorite features!

I simply downloaded bxActions and followed the steps to allow a complete remap. (No root required.) Now I have access to all sorts of useful features on a dedicated hardware button. (Never used bixby once.)

For example, single press is next track on any media player. (Which is great because an accidental single click wh...

Why doesn't dual factor authentication exist on locksreens?

You only get to choose one option nowadays, but I think that combining two would make our phones so much more secure:


**Face unlock can be fooled with a picture? No big deal because it'll only unlock when my face is recognized AND my finger is on the scanner.**


**Know my PIN? No big deal because my face/fingerprint needs to be recognized as well.**

​

I think that a ton of progress has been made with making phone security more convenient for us, but we should have the option to s...
