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

    Got so tired of google pay breaking on crdroid that I got a credit card just to use my watch instead.

    Still rocking a op7 pro on android 14.

        There are different types of workaround but every single one of them is playing same cat and mouse game with Google. It works for a while, then it doesn’t, workaround is updated, it works, then it doesn’t, rinse and repeat.

        I’m using a custom ROM but it’s so fucking tiring if I want to keep Google Wallet working. Fucking Google.

          I just keep my credit card with me at all times. It doesn’t occupy much space, and google pay can go pound sand.

          Custom ROM gang :)
