Hard truth: part of the challenge of ethOS will be to make it less like Android because Android kinda sucks.
ethos
But you CAN'T make a new mobile OS from scratch, except Android provides you the source code for FREE. Allows you to make an OS as flexible as you want. I'm not saying iOS is better or Android is better, BUT the purpose of both are very different. Android is supposed to be open for ALL OS unlike iOS.
ethos
Android is better than iOS, largely due to the customisability Typing from an iphone
ethosThat and it helps escape the stigma of "just another" Android fork. Meaningful changes that improve the user experience are why I jailbreak. Android is leagues better now, but there's still a lot that agile devs can do to improve it. Exciting! Do you support Pixel 6 yet?
ethos
I hope you objectively build ethOS with the best stuff from both worlds, as the casts here don't read like that.
ethos
It's a start! remember we're only a few years removed from really bad destkop dapps/metamask/L1 (terrible UX). If you can seed demand for an ethOS there's no reason longterm that you can't build from the ground up. If crypto is inevitable so is a crypto native mobile OS
ethosTo all the Android lovers, don’t take this the wrong way. iOS sucks in some ways, like Siri for example, or file management. But it is more polished and has less friction in common use cases, and Android could too. I will always feel like ethOS sucks and needs to be better too.
ethos
As much as I like the idea of ethOS. Getting people to switch phones or OS regardless of its quality is a tall order. Both Amazon and Facebook failed at it. Even getting people to switch browsers or installing an extension isn't the way.
ethos
Also the most interesting thing is that ethOS could not exists without Android. You can't build it with iOS, unless you just try to build your own OS from scratch. In all seriousness, this is again like the battle between Garmin vs iWatch. Two different purposes, two different clients. Choose the one that fits you.
