Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.

The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.

Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

the only reason I've wanted to be rooted in recent years is when I didn't have hotspot on my plan and the most complete way around that was with root.

I think I would like a degoogled Lineage/Graphene OS though

Wtf, plans locking down device features. That's mindblowing.

I love running a custom ROM, but I'm concerned RCS is going to become a deal break for me :(

I love that text messaging will finally not be complete shit between iOS and Android, but RCS is such a shitty locked down protocol.

For what it's worth, I have RCS working with GrapheneOS. I don't think I did anything special, but it did take awhile. I did see stuff on their forum about others having a bigger issue with it, though.

And of course, I prefer Signal, where possible.
