Not sure if it is like that because I'm in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I've had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

And that's why you only buy phones where you can install a custom ROM, and then kick any poisonous bloatware and google shit off before starting to use it.

Edit2: I learned about GSI roms and DSU Sideloading is a thing https://github.com/VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader

Yeah unfortunately that Custom ROM scene is dying out, I see that plenty of older phones are still supported (e.g. Galaxy Note 3, Samsung S5, kind of all Xiaomis) but newer phones are just a handful of models which its bootloader can be unlocked, and then some of these have support for Magisk and TWRP but sadly no custom ROMs.

Edit: still the ability to root these and unbloat them is better than nothing.

it's extremely ironic that pixels are some of the best phones for installing lineage on

[-] admin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

And also Xiaomi phones. Indeed ironic

I feel like recent Android has gotten good enough for me that I don't really need custom ROMs anymore. As long as I can still root the stock ROM and install AdAway, I'm fine.

I feel that way with Stock iOS, how ironic...

*buy phones that you can own.

And that’s why you only buy phones where you can install a custom ROM

Info update request. What is the current/best/uptodate websites to go to in 2024 to see that list of devices?

Also to such a thing also exist for tablets?

Thanks in advance.

Check for LineageOS supported devices, that's a good start. Some tablets can run ubuntu touch, I believe.
