It’s been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I’ve got the itch again.
XDA used to be a good place, but… I hope I’m out of there loop or something, because it’s almost a ghost town compared to years ago.
I’ve got us carrier unlocked devices; OnePlus N10 and N20, Moto G7Power.
Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn’t officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.
I’d add DivestOS, a fork of Lineage
Pixel Experience is dead btw.
Wow, super missed that. April 10th. I just had it on a Pixel 2xl not too long ago
/e/OS?
It’s still XDA.
Craze of custom rom is almost over now due to manufacturers bullshit
GSI are dominant now, device specific Roms are rare these days.
Really?
I haven’t seen any third party GSIs. What have you seen (that I clearly lack the google-fu to find, lol)?
Here you go: GSI List
what are GSI?
“Generic system images”
Since device manufacturers don’t support their hardware, Google has tried adding another layer of abstraction between hardware and the Android UI
I have two Xiaomi devices and use custom roms for both of them. While there are pages for them in the XDA forums, most of the new updates and developments of custom roms and kernels, at least for Xiaomi devices, happens within telegram groups.
Many of them are on Telegram. Try looking for the groups by device name.
