Watching this on a custom rom HUGE TIP to people who plan to install custom roms: Manage your expectations. Most of the popular custom roms you will find will not be as smooth and stable as your stock OS on your phone, which brings me to the next tip which is choose a rom that has active maintainers (people who are in charge the rom) and if smooth/stable is what you want, find official uploads for YOUR SPECIFIC DEVICE that is STILL being maintained. Its a whole lot of fun but it needs a lot of searching! Edit: by not smooth, I mean some roms will be stuttering its refresh rate depending on the device 60fps that sometimes falls on 40-30fps in some parts

If your phone is anything that isn't a Pixel, custom ROM is probably the only way to get around the tendency for manufacturers to keep you on old Android versions. Of course with iOS you don't have to worry either way, but you lose out on just about everything else despite having up-to-date software in that case.

Stock Android I know in general tends to slow down overtime and somehow slower than release from a year or 2 ago. This is usually a market scheme practice for the manufacture to convince you, your phone is outdated. For me I use GrapheneOS for privacy use and my battery lasts a lot longer compared to stock android.

@fiecylick3981 7 ай бұрын

@@nikolahumljanovic3069 This doesn't argue my point of referencing. Custom roms that are open-source and developed by a community are more better off to get the money you paid for on a device. Companies like Samsung, Motorola, Apple and others are known for slowing down your phone on purpose after a new generation to convince you that you need a new phone when you don't. Moreover you are forced to agree to the terms of service & privacy policy or otherwise you cannot use the phone. They take that right you have away like they have power of that even tho its your property. Of course you can just agree to it and accept the crazy policies they have about data collecting and mass surveillance about you day to day but that is up to you. That's when custom roms step in as a open developed community like GrapheneOS, where you take back your privacy and rights at hand. For example my old phone I gave to a family member is a Galaxy Note 9. This phone has been able to run better phones similar to its pricing and have better quality but it is slowed down due to updates they do onto the device. Since the Bootloader cannot be unlocked to do changes you want to do like install linux onto the devicem you don't have full rights to the phone. Look at what Samsung and Motorola did to folks living in Mexico on their phones.

@@ki11atj49 clearly you never experienced bs or noticed it yet. I'm not trying to be biased but when you see an issue with companies installing apps, and making updates run worse over time or take away features is when things become a problem. So far a year which is expected to still be its full potential til around year 2 - 3 is when things start slowing down and no I do not mean by the battery to be replaced. My old phone before custom roms was a Galaxy Note 9. Still a good phone btw but it is forcefully slowed down and lags on purpose by Samsung due to the updates they force to bring in. My grandmother has a hard time using it because of it. It is not a snapdragon CPU so I cannot OEM Unlock it sadly. This shows the problems that lie with these companies that get greedy and actually causing e-waste and carbon issues other than the stupid media blaming other things for profit.

Last custom ROM I had was an Android 7.1 Nougat based one on my Galaxy S3 Triband...largely because Team OctOS had dried up on their development and maintenance. Didn't last long before development for my particular S3 variant dried up entirely (the regular S3 for Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile got up to Android 8.0 Oreo). After that, closest thing I had was the unlocked Oreo firmware on my formerly AT&T S7 and the unlocked firmware on my Verizon Note8. Haven't heard about custom ROMs for Snapdragon based devices ever since they been gettin' locked down tight since the S7...though I do hope they're still out there.

I don´t know if i was just unlucky everytime, but no custom rom ever worked for me. The isntallation always was a headace, if it worked at all. And then there was always at least one feature not working properly or broken. Sony Experia Pro, One Plus 3, Nexus 7. Alle the tutorials are looking so confusing, there is no where a big guide that explains all the basics, at least i haven´t found one. I am used to hacking stuff a lot from wii, xbox 360, ps3, wiiu und such stuff. they always have nice tutorials (i know there are more different version of phones) but it is still a mess.

100%. Used to be a "Flashaholic" constantly trying out the next best ROM that came out. Currently on a Note 10 Plus and 0 interest in flashing ROMS. IMO it was only good back in the days when Android needed all the help it could get to be usable. It's come a long way now and Samsung's One UI has just made the experience so much better. IIRC most if not all custom ROMS will break things like Knox Security, Samsung Pass and many other things that actually matter than some often insignificant performance gains in a custom ROM made by some dude LOL. Same as you, the benefits were insignificant, there was always that one thing that didn't work and I always found myself going back to the stock ROM of my phone. Custom ROMS are a waste of time nowadays IMO

My last phone I ran for about 6 or 7 years, and almost all of it was on a custom ROM. The company behind it went bankrupt not long after I bought it, and it was stuck on Android 6. At the end I had it running I think Android 10 or 11, and loved the customization for the interface I had. It ran modern Android pretty well too, and only cost me $133, (Canadian) which is why I bought it, I was looking for a great specs to price ratio to get my first phone.

It's true. I used custom ROMs almost exclusively back in the day... But now, Android is so mature as an OS (As a result of influence from ROM devs too) that I rarely feel the need to use custom ROMs anymore. The only thing I miss about root is CPU/GPU tweaking. Samsung's flavor of Android is awesome too in terms of functionality and it's the main reason I don't root anymore...

Currently running rooted Lineage OS 20.1 and none of these problems are present, clean and smooth experience, no freezes or crashes, no lag, functional banking apps and obviously, root functionality. So no, custom roms are NOT dead, in fact, they are honestly a must-have if you're an Android user, stock roms are utter unreliable garbage.

While the pixels do have good stock android, there's some features that are not there. Like forcing an app to go fullscreen. However, just because stock roms have features of custom roms does not mean custom roms are dead. 1 advantage is easy backups and restoration of data. Its a pain to do non cloud backups and restores with regular phones simply due to the variety of android skins and difficult to get root access. Your point about custom roms dying is somewhat true. Xiaomi still supports custom roms the most, followed by google. But thats about it. You can get a cheap xiaomi phone and slap on a custom rom to get near pixel experience.

I don't think so and many ppl use custom ROM for mid range and old phones my sister phone uses lineage os 17.1 on a oppo a37fw and im using lineage os 20 on my redmi note 9 and i get weekly updates :)

Using Android 13 on Pixel 3 and OnePlus 6T for the past year. Yeah earlier we were trying 10 different custom roms within 6 months, now it's like 1 super stable custom rom let's say Pixel experience 13 for 1 year, until Pixel experience 14 stable is out then that rom for another 1 year. (Atleast for me that's the case)

Can we use banking apps without rooting? Or we have to root. Plus what about possible bugs like camera functionality or something?

Roms are also good if you dont like the default oc the manufacturer put on the phone

Custom ROMs are cool in general. But that also means you're using your phone without its default theming like wallpapers and icons. That's literally the reason i dont use a custom ROM.

I installed custom ROM (pixel experience) on my main phone just yesterday

I still root via magisk, to enable superuser functionality, But a custom ROM isn't viable (may contains bug or radio communication issues) or pretty much the same as stock.
