How many run a fully Native (or mostly) Passport intentionally as in no Google Play Services &...
..Especially no Google play services?
Or maybe just a few droid apps and cobalts awesome fix?
Are the benefits in the battery department HUGE or?..
Do you need a secondary phone or manage with clients and the browser?
What are the rewards versus the biggest downside(s)?
I am about to run an autoloader for 2205 which I hear will reset my passport and I am thinking of keeping it as limited as possible. I definitely would like Cobalts "soultion" though as my one android app I absolutely need is Voxer. The Olde versions are limited but run flawless and without play services needed however the newer versions have afew new features I rarely use anyway BUT require play services.
Choices, choices. Look forward to feedback!
My goal is going to be to keep android apps to a super bare minimum as well as even native "headless apps" to get that battery life I used to love so much about my passport as this passport here is at 41% and I woke up three hours ago with 100%. Not normal! I hope it's the apps and not that I have around 310 cycles on my battery... we shall see.
Thurask, you out there? A.K.A. Runtime king?
I am curious if you remember what blackberry's .172 was from as in device or what OS? 10.2.1? I think runtime .110 is from the classic. Anyway, after I do this autoloader to 2205 from my now 2163 I will be swapping the runtime to either .172 or .110 as those both run Showbox flawless however the latest 10.3.3 blackberry updates all crash showbox! BS! So, I will fix that little issue. Must of been intentionally done as google is doing its best to blow out showbox also. All you have to do is load the .172 or .110 runtime to fix it though. I am debating which one I want. I wish I still have the .56 runtime. Anybody have?...
I always went with .172 because it had a larger shell bar file then all other runtime so it's just in my head that must do more. LOL. Either way was a very stable runtime which is why I am curious where .172 first popped up from...
Doubt anyone will know this though.
BTW: if your running a native app that's a webos type app, is it still basically native since running native code? Same on battery life, unlike how allot of .apks can be 'beings they must run on top of the OS as another sort of virtual OS.
"WOOF"
