Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

yeah. like my manufacturers' 3-year-old, full-o-spyware ROM is more secure than latest lineage.

they just want control, not security.

Really the only thing holding me back from switching to GrapheneOS is that some of my apps fail CTS.

If a proper pathway is defined for custom ROMs I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Hoping this initiative leads to a reasonable outcome.

I just want to buy a Linux laptop with VoLTE and be done with the product line "smart phone". Unfortunately there is no such device (to my knowledge) and the only device that comes close is PinePhone Pro with docking station.

Agreed. I always loved the idea of the HTC Mini +.

Put the sim in your laptop, that's the connectivity hub. The mini phone piggybacks the LTE connection so you don't have to pull out your laptop for simple calls, texts, navigation or music actions.
