It also means we have a variety of questions come in on a daily basis, from “Y U NO SUPPORT [INSERT OBSCURE DEVICE]?” and “How do I flash Gmail?” to “When is L coming out on Omni?” We love interacting with the community, but we also haven’t done a great job of communicating where we’re at with certain things, and that’s something we’ll be working on.… Read more
