Custom ROMs rock. My Pixel 6 pro got screen damage last week. Had an old Redmi Note 10 Pro lying around. Flashed latest LineageOS official build on it. Works like a charm. Don't root your phone and all banking apps will work. Its so smooth,stable and has so many features compared to my P6pro (Headphone jack, dedicated dual sim + sd card slot, IR port) that I don't think I will be getting my P6pro fixed right now. Custom roms make a lot of sense for phones as long as you don't go overboard and root your device. My Galaxy tab s2 from 2015 still gets monthly security updates. Also Pixelexperience devs have started Pixelbuilds, so its not really dead...

[@BOT_x_PUBG]

fyi, the Pixel experience project is dead. You need to install another rom to get the latest updates. Android 15 wont be coming to Pixel experience project.

I'm using a Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G with LineageOS 21, rooted with KernelSU and I've yet to face an app I can't use due to root (for example, with Magisk I had issues getting the ChatGPT app to work no matter what I tried, but with KSU it works well)

Seeing a 16:9 screen is so bizarre nowadays. I lowkey miss it ngl (Shoutout to designers of Nexus 6 and Lumia 1520)

[@Kalvinjj]

I miss it a lot. I haven't gained absolutely anything from the "borderless" design here, cut corners, camera hole in the screen area and wider than the content screen. Some trends really don't gain anything but you gotta push 'em for marketing reasons.

[@papasivir4241]

​​@@Kalvinjj I agree with this so much! The Google pixel 8 has one of the least annoying Camera notches so that was one of the reasons I decided to go with it but I would honestly much prefer the 16:9 bezeled screens of back in the day. I constantly touch my phone screen when I'm trying to get a good grip on it causing me to not be able to actually do what I'm trying to do until I readjust my grip. It's so annoying. Usually, this leads to me not actually having a good grip on my phone and I drop it constantly. Not only this but KZbin content is always going to be in 16:9 usually so I don't even use the entire phone screen when I'm using my phone for the thing I use it for most. It's pretty much a waste. And if I want to use the whole phone screen I've got to zoom the content in to where it cuts off a bunch of stuff. I much preferred when I used the whole screen and didn't have something getting in the way. I also preferred having haptic navigation buttons instead of software buttons that we have now. Any and all of the under the screen fingerprint sensors that any current Android manufacturers use have nothing on the physical touch ID that apple had and still has on Mac devices.

[@OnTheRocks71]

One of my favorite phones was the Motorola built Nexus 6. It had a pretty massive 16:9 display (for it's time anyways). Made watching videos so enjoyable, especially compared to modern 20:9 phones. So much wasted space, the Nexus actually ends up having a "larger" display when viewing 16:9 content.

[@papasivir4241]

@@OnTheRocks71 that's something I thought of too. Just scaling it up to have a larger 16 by 9 screen is totally possible.

Underrated channel. I know you will do good in content creating!

[@felixhoehne9530]

The thing is right, knox only exists on samsung devices. But even without root u would trip google's new integrety API, with root u can bypass (meets_device_integrety, meets_basic_integrety but not meets_stronger_requirement), the last one is reliant on the status of the bootloader and not even with a fuse these days. But I would say that it's a strong conflicting matter because it mostly depends on the rom that you're using and what signatures the rom has been signed with. Example EvolutionX for my Redmi Note 8 Pro is signed with a test key where google services won't work at all (unless u have the ability to change rom signatures within the rom is pretty limited at most and will never be perfect) and yes I agree root will be always detected unless you mount it specifically for a certain app using kernelsu, magisk would leave files behind. I personally would say that rooting and having a custom rom is pretty much only benifitial of you have a budget phone, since the budget phones of XiaoMi only get around 2-3 years of software updates and maintenance. But for a flagship custom rom is only benifitial after the EOL has been reached. But overall I would say, keep up the good work and I see you in the next video!

You're right on several things. Custom ROMs aren't as appealing as they were 7-8 years ago. Back then, flagship androids only got 2 years' worth of software updates; and custom ROMs helped bridge the gap between software support and hardware performance. Nowadays, phones are receiving up to 7 years of software updates; who needs a custom ROM now? Also, the various UIs of most android phones have become more and more customizable; even Google's stock android has theming options now. As it is now, I can confidently say that custom ROMs should only be installed on phones that are 9 years old or older.

I never really got my hands dirty with custom ROMs when it was popular. I was curious about, but never got past reading stuff and watching videos. Honestly, though, with my current Samsung I never even felt the need to install a launcher. It offers plenty of customization for my needs. I've played around with Good Lock, but there very few features that I actually care to use. Looks like they might extend the security support past the promised 4 years too, so I'll keep the phone a while longer if they do.

[@bleedproc]

great video bro... just subbed, btw do the newer samsung phones get slower too? I was thinking of buying the base s24 (has exynos here in india), I am just obsessed with its aesthetics, but I'm afraid if it will be a bad purchase, should i just wait and get an iphone instead?

Up until a week ago, I was using my Pixel 3 with LineageOS installed. You can hide root and there are Magisk modules to pass 2/3 safetynet checks (impossible to do all 3, you need to have your bootloader locked which isn't possible in this case). It gets through all apps but 2. One I had to solve by installing the latest version that didn't have a timebomb _and_ strict checks. I could have done a similar thing with another as it didn't even have checks before. One thing I can say is, if you don't mind tinkering around, installing a custom ROM can be a good way of extending the usage of your phone.

[@KennerMarqueti]

That's what i like about samsung phones, usually, at least for the S line, custom rom support is very good. On my S7 i found an debloated and deodexed OneUI rom that gave me better performance and battery life than stok android while keeping the camera and audio processing stuff, i was stuck at android 9 but i did not care because the phone would still be very good to use.
