I have a Cricket Icon 2 and it has an Android 10 Go edition. It disabled some of my favorite features like adding widgets or displaying apps over others.

I want to know if there's a way I can disable Android Go?

  • Android Go is a separate OS for low-end devices that are not powerful enough to run full Google Android OS. Therefore there is no switch to enable the full functionality. – Robert Mar 21 '22 at 08:13

You need root and root explorer.

Go to /vendor and edit the build.prop file. Find the line ro.config.low_ram=true and change true to false. Then just reboot your device. All is ready!

Android Go is a device configuration for low-memory usage. Thus to "disable" Android Go, either turn off the configuration for it or use non-Android Go ROMs instead:

  • Set ro.config.low_ram to false on the build.prop (need root access, as has been mentioned on MadCreeepyman's answer).
  • Downgrade to the previous full-fledged Android version
  • Flash a custom ROM that is not based on Android Go
