With the recent changes to how Google is doing things with Android, is it even worth it anymore? Should I just accept whatever version of Android comes with whatever phone or are custom ROMs still worth it? Assuming they still exist after all of this, idk what’s going on.
Custom ROMs were always a pretty niche thing, and they’ve become much less worth it since:
So unless there’s an old feature you want to keep (LG Quad DAC diehards represent), or you’re super privacy-conscious, most people aren’t going to bother.
What do you consider stock Android? If Linus’ video on the topic is anything to go by, stock Android is basically unusable. I’m guessing you mean that manufacturer custom versions have gotten better and more consistent over time?
