    Android is actually your friend, Google is not. You can take Google out of Android but not Android out of Google.

    There’s a decade of custom ROMs to prove it, unlike an iPhone where someone else dictates every aspect for you. There’s way ahead in performance, but that’s all gone to waste for power users. Even their browser is like the the ones you used to have on flip phones.

    I was hoping the recent monopoly suit to be anything other than a wrist slap for google, but that’s too much to expect from US.

      I’ve been through the best years of custom firmware. Back in the Jellybean/Kitkat days. My favourite was a fork of AOKP called LiquidSmooth.

      Custom firmware comes at your own risk though. If something goes wrong, maybe you can find some help… but maybe you can’t.

      Then you have guys who say “I’ll make custom firmware for your phone if the community buys me one.” The community buys them one from donations, and dude flips it on eBay the next day. I’ve seen that happen too.

      There needs to be a commercial interest in private and available custom firmware for Android. Because otherwise it’s just a hobby.
