Samsung is removing several options from the Android recovery menu with the latest updates for Galaxy phones. Specifically, the update is removing:
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe cache partition
View recovery logs
Run graphics test
Run locale test



As a hobbyist if I can’t side load my necessary apps to make my phone functional, then I have a non-functional device. And if my device is non-functional then there is no point in having one.
I’ll legitimately just go back to a flip phone or have no phone. And there’s no fucking way I’m touching a iPhone.
Not defending Samsung, not by a long shot, but isn’t referring to the ability to sideload in recovery (roms)?
It doesn’t seem to affect normal sideloading for apps. Still very shitty move regardless.
