Comment on OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse
PhoenixAlpha@lemmy.ca 1 day agoGrapheneOS also claims it’s not defending against anything real. Which makes sense as Pixels can clearly maintain security while allowing alternate OSes. So this is just hostile vendor lock-in. Disappointing as there was some speculation that OP would be the GOS OEM, but there’s no way they would do this is that was true.

Sad. Having used the OPX, OP6T, OP9, and briefly the OP10, I can honestly say their hardware is usually pretty good. I went to Graphene on a Pixel for the software. Software was always Oneplus’ weak point so it’s extra silly that they’re doing this. So many hobbyists have bought OP hardware and used it with software of their choice. They started co-developing their Oxygen OS with Oppo a while back and that’s when it really went to hell.

They started developing Oxygen around the time of OnePlus 2. I used my OnePlus One into 2020, it was a nice phone. It’s sad to see how they’ve gone down this nasty path.
