Android thread

in which we reminisce about the good old days of cyanogenmod, talk about all the cool things we are currently doing with our rooted devices, and consider the future of android and mobile technology.

i personally don't have much going on other than programming an app. i'm currently running lineageOS android 7.0 on a verizon HTC one m9 (fuck verizon).

I have a Moto G5 Plus running Pie thanks to ArrowOS. I will never ever buy a phone I can't root and bootloader unlock.

what are the most "hackable" devices available right now? and how can we combat the trend of locked down bootloaders?

Right now, mostly Xiaomi devices since.. India and shit.

Android 4.4.4 and 6.0.1 were the best.
Don't @ me.

Got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro running Pixel Experience 9.0, much faster than that damn MIUI which is full of ads and get like 10 hours of screen on time. Currently waiting for an official Pie version of lineageOS for redmi note 5 pro, so.. Guess i'll stick with Pixel Experience by then.

It's not wise or worthwhile to root your device in 2019.
Prove me wrong.

whats the best option if you like the android devices but dont like using google services more than you have to.

>ArrowOS
what is this and how is it different to stock G4 Plus OS?

Unironically google devices.
