Been integrated into the apple ecosystem until now. My day-to-day really takes advantage of the seamless interfacing of MacOS and iOS. Specifically the way I can message, copy/paste, and p2p file transfer on a without being on a LAN.
When the Kompakt arrives, I do anticipate some frustration by breaking that integration (AirDrop !!), but I’d like to prepare in orderto ease that transition. Are there any things you recommend iOS users do in advance to simplify the transition to MuditaOS/InkOS? Are there any particularly useful iOS-specific functionality for which you’ve found comparable analogs on the Kompakt? Or any more philosophical and habit shifting mindsets you had to develop?
There also seem to be some android *nix-specific concepts that are foreign to me as an iOS user. Would appreciate hearing other’s experience leaving Apple!
If you’re willing to drop iMessage, make sure you disable both it and RCS messaging before you transfer the SIM card to the Kompakt. If you want to continue using iMessage, you can use an app like OpenBubbles. I’d also recommend getting a syncing app like Davx5 and using it to sync your calendar and contacts with iCloud, you’ll need to pair it with a side-loaded calendar app since the native calendar app doesn’t synchronize with Android’s calendar database.
I’ve had luck with LocalSend on my Kompakt, you can only send/receive files from devices on the same network as yours but that works fine for me as I’m usually only sending files to/from my own computer.
This is a very important point. Additionally, please note that deregistering from RCS can take up to 30 days. It usually doesn’t take that long, but some users have reported that it took approx 30days.
I’ve been using Signal on the Mudita, and found that when you send a message to yourself, it starts a ‘note to self’ chat (which you can pin to the top). That completely replaced my airdrop usage as I can quickly send to and from the mudita !
