    are aware that you can just flash plain AOSP on any phone, right?

    EDIT: Well, this aged like milk. If you happen to have a phone that is not easily unlockable or that has no well-maintained AOSP ROM, Universal Android Debloater is a pretty decent way to clean up your OS.

      I know you probably don’t mean it this way, but it’s not literally any phone. Also custom ROMs could have their own issues and bugs to deal with.

      not any phone. And you have to rely on someone to maintain the build. And hope that it’s stable. And the manufacter has to allow unlocking bootloader without sacrificing a goat.

      Dude this kind of response is so fucking annoying. Any time someone says they prefer tech that works someone like you shows up to But Ackshually them about it.

      Some people want the product to be what they expected out of the goddamn box.

      I did that in the beginning, when Android was new. I do not want that hassle. I just want to use my phone

      You will inevitably run into various minor issues like the fingerprint sensor not working very well, or face unlock is fiddly, or auto-brightness behaves strangely, or double-tap to wake has stopped working, etc etc.
