With whatever Google’s been doing lately to android, and the general decline in custom ROMs, I’m wondering if custom ROMs are even worth the hassle anymore or if just tweaking settings and using ADB on any phone is enough these days. Thoughts and suggestions?
You 100% should.
I bought a second-hand Pixel, installed GrapheneOS the moment it arrived and never looked back.
I recently installed Curve for contactless NFC payments. Their support is terrible but, after some teething issues, it works without any problems.
