Do you root or do you go straight to ROMs?

    People said the same thing about custom ROM stability and ease of use 10 years ago.

    What you remember is not how it currently is.

    That’s funny considering you also wrote this elsewhere in the thread:

    I never used to flash ROMS or root my phone until Android 11.

    So you actually have no idea what you are talking about since you literally didn’t experience it…

      Do they need that experience? Having had both experiences I do agree it’s much easier now. Even if your only experience is recent, if someone says they stopped because of how hard it was it’s valid to say how hard it isn’t any longer

        It’s certainly easier vs getting the original rom from sammobile or so and the flashing it with odin and praying it works and you didnt download spyware from whatdoiknow pages.
        But phones are so highly intergrated into our lives nowadays I can’t risk it not working.
        I rely on it for 2FA which is so highly important and I don’t need it bricking regardless of how stable it is.
        Secondary phones are a free target for me but I won’t fuck with my daily driver.
