A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've owned an android phone for over 10 years and have rooted most of them. To be honest, in that time I've rarely come across something that I've wanted to do but been unable to do without rooting. Generally anything I want to do also isn't possible through rooting either. Same with custom ROMs, recently it seems you end up losing features rather than gaining them.

Agreed and sometimes the amount of work trying to find some random radio file to flash because 5G stops working.. it's not worth the headache anynore
