Aside of the lack of ads, I now depend on Aurora Store for batch app updates because the cocksuckers at Google Play have allowed devs to force app version updates even when you have disabled automatic updates for that specific app.

How do you deal with waiting for and then pressing "Install" for every app? It's so tedious. Is there no way without root?

That's pretty gigachad, but I'm scared to because it voids the warranty :(

Isn't that one of the things the FTC says can't void warranties? They've been going after companies for those lousy warranty void stickers lately.

Agree, there's a risk even if you don't break anything.
