Years ago, on Fridays, we would share Custom ROM Friday posts that would highlight new and exciting developments in the world of custom Android ROMs. It was great times, as it seemed like the majority of our readers at the time were deep into running custom software and accessing root...
I stopped running custom ROMs when two things came together:
I stopped buying Samsung stuff with their then-godawful UI. I still don't like their current one, but hey, they improved a lot, I give them that.
Cyanogen self-destructed a wee bit, and it took some time for Lineage to take up many devices I had around.
Once I had dropped off, I just could not be arsed picking it up any more. Too much hassle with Netflix and shit, too much effort for ~0 gain. I just need my phone to work, it's a tool not a religion.
