Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens
Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens
Graphene OS has had just about enough of Google not doing more to make Android compatible with custom ROM projects.
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
Why is stuff like that included not included in every plan by default? As a European, I can't even imagine paying extra for that. If I want to hotspot my data, my operator can kiss my ass and simply allow it, I'm paying for the data anyway.
In less free countries the provider also provides the handset and locks it all down.
for this case it was a plan that's pretty discounted and also unlimited without hard throttle. they don't want people using it on computers or game consoles probably
As [email protected] said: @NetworkOperator: Kiss my ass. I pay your for service. You wanna restrict me, I switch my damn plan. If I use it on my phone streaming 4K stuff from my home server or watch 1GB of data over hot spot on my phone is not their business.
Wtf, plans locking down device features. That's mindblowing.
