A custom ROM allows you to extend the life of your Android phone, but does it come with risks in 2024 and why isn't it more popular?

I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

    If the day comes when LineageOS (with microG) becomes unusable for me, I will just switch to iPhone. I hate Apple, and I’ve been using custom ROMs since Cyanogen in 2010, but there’s no way I would raw-dog a Google device.

      I would probably switch to Huawei os device. No Google by design.
      In fact - I might in either case, there is just too much shitty things Google does to android.
