@coredumped I used to like CyanogenMod and lineage looks cool, but I don't have a laptop, so I can't flash anything

shaki3537yThese are all required for the calendar to work since there are features you may not know about like:
-draw over apps so that you can seamlessly save a meeting from another place
-assigning contacts that are relevant to a meeting or even birthday reminders
-getting a meeting by sms (yes it's still a thing)
-sync with your email account
-store files because how the fuck else would they save it
-make phone calls directly from the app to make it easier
But if you don't like that then just root your phone and take full control. I can say that safely because this is devrant
I would be suspicious if my calculator had those perms....you know what? No i wouldn't be surprised because one day i may want to include my contacts to watch me live stream a 42*72 calculation and then make a phone call to my mother telling her how proud she should be of me -
@shaki I guess, but some of those features are useless to me and I don't like the thought that I can't control what has permissions and what doesn't.

App permissions on android are fucking bullshit, for simple apps like calender they want accessโ to your phonebook and mic like hmm go fuck yourself.

@Cyanide this phone was a donation, I can't actually buy a phone. Also, I had no idea Lenovo made phones?!?
