A little rant about the Android operating system
@android
Everyone felt weird when I said I was using custom ROMs. Most of them haven’t heard about anything beyond stock android. I wrote a blog trying to normalise it.

For me it’s 100% about banking or payment apps that won’t run if they detect a custom ROM or root. Otherwise i would consider the effort worth it, if only to free the device from the manufacturer’s limited update commitment.
Ironically, I have to root every time I install a ROM just to bypass the detections 🤦♂️
