    Custom ROMs were always a pretty niche thing, and they’ve become much less worth it since:

    Stock Android doesn’t suck as much as it used to

    Banking Apps aren’t guaranteed to work

    VoLTE doesn’t work (this might depend on phone model)

    Most manufacturers now offer software support for a reasonable length of time

    So unless there’s an old feature you want to keep (LG Quad DAC diehards represent), or you’re super privacy-conscious, most people aren’t going to bother.

    I remember when I first bought my Gamecube… I had to sign an agreement that I would never play a non-Nintendo property again. “How could they ever enforce this?” I thought. Little did I know that the next day, the Sony SWAT Team would be bursting into my house to extract my Playstation. It was absolutely terrifying.

    I haven’t played a single non-Nintendo game since.










  • It’s still in active development, but you might want to keep an eye on Plasma Bigscreen. I’ve been looking for a similar setup to you, and it seems to tick all of the boxes, at least for me.

    I only learned about it recently, and I’ve been too busy to try it in that time, but I’ll edit this post with my impressions once I get the time to have a play with it.
