    Almost as if Google disapproves of custom ROMs.

      You’re getting downvotes, but I get the vibe that most of the c/android users either use Graphene or aspire to. So you’re not wrong.

      (I’m in the aspire camp)

        I have no data to back this up but I think most Lemmy Android users don’t use custom ROMs or root their phones.

          Ive had too many fights in this community with people who dont use custom ROMs and dont care about privacy to agree with you.

          For the past 10 years (or so), reddit and lemmy users have been complaining about the updates on their Google or Samsung phones, which confirms that they use the pre-installed OS and don’t even think about switching to another OS.

            Well, Samsung blocked the bootloader so you can’t even if you wanted

      True I’m pretty bummed. Looks like graphene can keep building from aosp for the time being though. Hopefully then can find a better long-term solution.
