Android is in a strange place at the moment; it's stronger than ever, but feels further away from what launched almost 20 years ago.

I have a oneplus 6T with postmarketOS and it works pretty well.

Very neat. Are there any particular sticking points for you?

What environment do you use? I'm thinking GNOME mobile would be my best option because it has some accessibility settings. I can't use a device without magnification at a minimum and both magnification and a screen reader are preferred when possible.

I'm using phosh, which I believe has some gnome components.

I can see there's a quick setting for adjusting screen scaling and options for large text. There's also an option for a screen reader in the accessibility options but it doesn't seem to do anything now that I'm trying it, maybe I have to download some TTS program to make it work.

Does the accessibility settings have a "zoom" submenu? If you have the time would you screenshot the "accessibility" menu for me and the "zoom" submenu if it exists?
