alt Hacker Newstl;dr how to install an app from unverified developer ("advanced flow")
1. enable developer mode
2. confirm you aren't being coached
3. restart your phone and reauthenticate
4. come back after 24 hours and unlock device
5. install app from unverified developer, option of enabling for 7 days or indefinitely
Personally I am hopeful that people work toward a completely new, non-Android OS. 15 GB of space on my phone, and 1.5 GB of RAM, is dedicated to Android OS alone. This design, and the control this company (and the mobile providers, and device manufacturers) have over the mobile world, is ridiculous. Let's start over.

The original Droid phone I used had only 256mb of memory, and could still multitask and run multiple apps at once with that limited memory. Its crazy how bloated things have become over the years.
Nah. This sucks. My banking app refuses to open if devtools are enabled. 24h window means I can't do dev work on my personal phone.
