You mean you want a secure communications app on an insecure OS?
Sorry no.
Check if there's a Lineage OS being made for the device that is equivalent to a newer Android version
Nooooo, I just want to use signal, as it's the only mainstream messenger that's not unusable
Sorry, I don't make the app.
Your options are:
Check if there is Lineage OS that has at least Android 5 or newer
Get a very cheap new phone. You can find a prepaid phone in the US at like less than $50 (lock to carrier, but unlockable in 60 days after activation).
(Used phones are also an option)
Why are you running a device with an OS that was EOL nearly a decade ago?
? Cuz it's the last OS that doesn't look like literal shit.
How old are you?
Sorry, brother. You need to give up on using antique Android. Its a huge security threat. You also need to put Linux on that laptop still rocking Win ME.
No.
FUCK why?
maybe cuz that android version went eol more than a decade ago?
Because that OS is far too old/EOL? Nobody bothers writing software for ancient platforms like Android 5, and why would they? Just so like 0.000001% of their userbase could use it. It doesn't make any sense for them to do it.
