You can install these as long as you don't root the device

They are great things "Custom ROM" users don't have.
>>61591019
>implying
I'm using CM13 with the latest security patches and I've never had issues with Proprietaryflix, Snapchat, or Pokemon GO back when I played it for literally a week.
Literal non-issues.
>>61591018
Or just get an iPhone.
>>61591050
That in no way solves the root of the problem.

CyanogenMod wasn't relevant since 2014. It never got new features after that (not even as LineageOS).
iOS on the other hand is the most relevant mobile OS.
>>61591050
Or just use Magisk.
>>61590825
No. LineageOS can't compete in attracting monkeys, iOS is the best in it.

yeah sure
As for CM, I would use Lineage but I'm using Sultan's ROM which is based on CM's old codebase but with features pulled from Lineage as needed.
>>61591107
Magisk requires you to update every week when Google increases their security.
"compete"?
Elaborate.
>>61591178
CM/LineageOS hasn't really gotten unique features since 2014. iOS has.
>>61591146
Wow, that's such a downside. Better go buy an 800 $ iPhone.
>>61591189
Weak.

exactly
Really makes me think
>>61590825
>>61591189
Oh so you can now download apps outside the app store, natively browse files, share things over bluetooth, share any kind of file over wifi-direct, can connect your iphone to a pc without lagtunes, use your iPhone as a flash drive, use youe iPhone to torrent any and all kinds of files, extract/browse archives, customize more than your home screen, have widgets on the homescreen, ect?
>inb4 "At least we have isolar"
Yeah, we have fast charging.
>>61591273
And you'd rather complain to some random developer on XDA when your phone stops working than go to an Apple store and get your problem fixed or better, get a new iPhone?

Your writing is terrible by the way.
>When Google increases their security
What Google does is preventing the functionality of root bypass apps (processes) such as Magisk. And the update procedure requires a simple reboot after downloading an update. But I guess that's not worth and buying an 800 $ iPhone solves everything.

What's the better choice? Really takes the ol' noggin for a joggin'!

Can XDA solve the Note 7 explosion? The LG G4 bootloop? Or even the OnePlus 5 "Jelly" problem?

Or better yet, but this is for those truly advanced, check if a device you're planning on buying has a good custom ROM support.
>>61591384
What are you even talking about? Two of those problems are hardware related. Perhaps the OnePlus 5's problems are hardware related too. XDA isn't a phone manufacture, genius.
>>61591390
Again, it's related. Why would you even buy such devices?

You are literally clueless.

Just Pixel and OnePlus devices, right?

By not being iOS

Some Xiaomi device will be stuck with LineageOS "Unofficial" forever. Better off buy an iPhone and get the best OS/hardware support on the market.

Already addressed:
>>61591390
If you were capable enough to find /g/, you're capable enough to use Google, XDA and YouTube to determine which device has hardware problems or doesn't have custom ROM support.
I can compile LineageOS from git and get the latest update whenever I want.

Follow the reply chain. You might be the same anon, who knows.
>>61591146
Who cares? Both apk and zip updates are practically automated
>>61591568
Apple engineers take care of compiling the OS for you. Why waste your time when you could be creating the next Facebook instead?
>>61591640
Oh sorry, I just don't like people installing backdoors on my OS so they can see all my bank info and browsing history and sell it to the highest bidder.

>Apple engineers take care of compiling the OS for you.
And they also take care of deciding what you can and can't do with a device you paid a substantial amount of money for.
>>61591669
>Inb4 that's possible on every operating system

But preventing those exploits from being utilized and making it harder for companies to gather metadata is only possible on some operating systems.

Apple commits to privacy. Can any "Custom ROM" developer do that? The latter even prefers you using Google apps with their ROM.

How exactly? Just because you said so? Here's a wonderful list of not so privacy oriented practices of your favorite tech company:

What prefers what exactly? No one forces you to buy a device which doesn't have custom ROM support. And we've been through this:

Great rebuttal buddy. Couldn't be bothered to check the sources? Those are not merely his opinions.

Not an argument. Are you going to look at the sources and refute them or did you already accept defeat?

Well, so many iPhone users love their iPhone. That says it all.
