    It’s hard to get excited about Android these days. What i want is my phone operating system to not spy on me.

      I flashed Lineage OS and it is what I imagine Android should be. Too bad custom ROM scene is slowly dying because of Google.

        Google is literally the only manufacturer that lets you unlock your phone day 1, officially, without any “e-fuses” or warranty voiding, with step by step instructions on their own website, and you’re saying they are killing custom ROMs?

        Perhaps custom ROMs are dying because people don’t feel a need to flash them? I haven’t flashed a custom ROM in probably 8ish years, because my phones stock ROM has everything I want. I no longer need to flash a ROM for flashlight toggle, screen recording, scrolling screenshots, etc. It’s all built into my OEM ROM.
