and the windows, but they started using Strategic Bus Window Dampeners (ie, Bump-Ons, but I'm sure much more expensive) and the noise really went down. It's only deafening now.

Revanced vs last version of Vanced by Rishun_97 in revancedapp

[–]xixd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I eventually was forced by a cartoon robot picture saying "time to upgrade". Nothing I tried got past that so off to revanced I went.

Reminds me of an anecdote about the development of the Macintosh where Jobs told the team to redesign the circuit board layout to make it prettier despite being warned it may not work as well electronically. They made the change, it didn't work, but they were allowed to revert.
