Oh, I've got an abundance of that right now

I hope Google's contributions will be thoroughly audited!


If anyone from Jolla reads this please take note, here's some Android crapola Sailfish really needs to avoid:

When I uninstall an app I don't expect any app or service to be allowed to reinstall it

When I cancel an install dialog I expect that decision to be final, I don't want the dialog to be allowed to reappear and ask me again one second later over and over and over

If I'm using a system screen (e.g. settings) no background app should be allowed to bring up a modal image/dialog over the top of it

When I turn the wifi (gps/bt/...) off in settings no app should be allowed to turn it back on again without my explicit approval (and, as above, if I say no don't ask again)

Really, I could go on and on...


Honestly, there's so much m0r0n1c shite in Android I wonder if the chumps who developed it have any experience of the outside world.
