  Most people don’t care about that even a little bit. Back in the day I used to use various custom roms on my android devices, it was awesome. But that was then, I have a job and family now and I can’t just reset my phone on a whim because there’s some cool UI tweak in a new rom. Plus, most of the stuff that made custom roms worthwhile has been integrated into the OS nowadays, so the value add is significantly diminished.

    I don’t talk about the ui focused rom, but on the private one. Stock iOS and stock android are the same shit, the only reason to change is to use a “degoogled” ROM and iOS won’t let you do that easily

      I understand where you’re coming from but that’s just not practical for me, even if I had the specific device. For pretty much the same reasons as before. I tried this once in college, not fully degoogled but using microg. I was able to make it work but the experience was pretty awful and I just don’t want to spend my time managing something like that anymore.

        Don’t know when you try this but today this is pretty simple and after the first setup the experience is seamlessly good, as any other android.

    Totally agree. At this point my phone is more of an appliance than a computer. I just need it to do what it is supposed to do and that’s it. I don’t even put games on the phone anymore and am really cognizant of the apps I use.

    Heck I even remover Uber and lift apps if I’m not going to be using them for a while.

  I used to think that way too. I hated having all the apps on the main screen and the lack of widgets. Nowadays iOS is better and has lets you customize the main screen a lot more. Most iOS users still have all this apps on the main screen but it’s not a necessity like it used to be.
