          Is that meant to be a “gotcha” or something?

          My point is, this is the last time I let google control my phone.

          I imagine since it’s not an official product of Google’s, it can’t legally be called “Android.” As such it’s something that is not Android, but is highly compatible with it since both are rooted in the AOSP.

            Legally? Maybe not.

            But Col Sanders left KFC after selling a business he created with his own secret reciepe. Then after he sold it, he watched the new owners use his image to sell an inferior chicken product.

            So he started up another new chicken resteraunt using the original reciepe. Legally he couldn’t call it KFC, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was the original KFC reciepe.

            Hows that phrase go? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

            Call things whatever word you want, it’s still the same thing in the end.
