    This is my currently dilemma.
    Each year Android becomes restrictive like iOS with none of the benefits, Rooting becomes harder as more apps tap into the Play Integrity API (and strong Integrity is on the way to kill most workarounds for it), iPhone got a little better but is still locked down as fuck, where the hell do I go to? 😒

      LineageOS, maybe? Still Android, but (AFAIK) more open to change than standard Android.

        I’ve been using custom ROMs for a while now, but the reality is that they can only do so much to stop Android’s ever increasing restrictions.
        And the aforementioned Integrity API also detects unlocked bootloaders, meaning this will gradually become more of a problem.

    Realistically I have no where to go and that’s the problem. iOS is even more locked down.

      No one says you have to upgrade your phone OS to the latest Android. You can just keep using the Android (and/or Custom ROM) that works.

        Sure, but what about security? Not that I haven’t had to use outdated phones before.
