Do you root or do you go straight to ROMs?

I stopped running custom ROMs when two things came together:

  1. I stopped buying Samsung stuff with their then-godawful UI. I still don't like their current one, but hey, they improved a lot, I give them that.
  2. Cyanogen self-destructed a wee bit, and it took some time for Lineage to take up many devices I had around.

Once I had dropped off, I just could not be arsed picking it up any more. Too much hassle with Netflix and shit, too much effort for ~0 gain. I just need my phone to work, it's a tool not a religion.

Personally I would stop installing custom ROMs if the DAMN MANUFACTURER STOPPED SHOVING GOOGLE DOWN MY THROAT

I've never had an issue with Netflix on a rooted phone.
