The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame
CalyxOS, a privacy-oriented Android fork, has announced a pause on updates. But given the challenges most custom ROMs face, will it return?
You're viewing a single thread.
After reading the article seems like a sensationalized headline. One of the major ROMs is on hiatus and may never return. And the process of installing custom ROMs is challenging. Not good, frustrating, but different than "soon no one will be able to do this"
There's a minimum amount of people and interest that custom ROM developers need to stay afloat. I'd say it's a huge issue if you'd like to use one in the future if less and less people are using them now.
You're right. But the headline is "the days of custom android ROMs are numbered"
the days of everything is numbered even our sun so yeah i agree
Google will cut them off over coming years is where I see this is going.
All custom Roms rely on AOSP being freely available.
