Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger

Well it was about that time. The old phone had to be put out to pasture. No more green line across my screen. No more 20% battery drain per hour. No more GnuRoot... wait, what?!?
I picked up a Pixel2 Extra Large or whatever it's called. I wanted to JUST transfer my msg history and contacts from my Droid, no apps etc. Turns out I got my contacts, and my apps for some reason. Not my msg history. meh, whatever.
I have to say... I've never tried the Gboard keyboard. I love it. So many options, and I can style it to be super minimal. But most important, cursor moving via sliding along the space bar. WHAT?!? That is so great! Precise cursor positioning w/out arrow keys is a nightmare.
Sadly, as I mentioned, GnuRoot won't run. I'm guessing it is the Android version that is giving it grief. Hopefully in the near future it will run.
