With the recent changes to how Google is doing things with Android, is it even worth it anymore? Should I just accept whatever version of Android comes with whatever phone or are custom ROMs still worth it? Assuming they still exist after all of this, idk what’s going on.
FYI, Google’s recent decisions only affects pixels. Android is still open source (for now at least).
Even if they close source it for the future, any code already released is already public forever. Customs roms can just continue on from the latest open source code and works their way into what’s effectively a linux phone OS.
In the end, everything becomes
crabLinuxIsn’t android basically just heavily modified and corpified linux for phones?
At this point that feels like the argument that macs are just Linux/bsd there’s an argument to be made ona. Technical level.
But I’m unless you want to be disingenuous then practically no not really.
