A custom ROM allows you to extend the life of your Android phone, but does it come with risks in 2024 and why isn't it more popular?

I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

    I think people that take that approach to life are partly ruining it for us all. You’re selling your privacy for convinience and in the process legitimising the removal of (what I consider) more ethical and reasonable solutions.

      No, phone payments can be much more private than a card payment.

      Edit: who tf is downvoting this objectively true statement?

        Perhaps, but I advocate against using both card and phone payment. Cash is the only truly private pay method, barring facial scanning cameras at the counter. Each to their own.
