Kia ora!
I’ve been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I’ve just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what’s changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I’ve had a hunt around xda but can’t seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!
What do I need to know?
Well, any samsung with a snapdragon chip is pretty useless for ROMS. To ROM these days you need a Google Pixel (best supported), OnePlus (most models), or Motorola (some models).
Oh, that’s interesting to hear, I had no idea!
The chinese brands are mostly good too, but they dont often support US carrier frequency bands.
LineageOS MicroG works pretty great on my Poco X3 NFC, so they’re definitely not the only brands with good custom ROM support!
I have an ancient Samsung tablet i use for ROMS still. The screen is cracked but it works like a charm 😂
