With the recent changes to how Google is doing things with Android, is it even worth it anymore? Should I just accept whatever version of Android comes with whatever phone or are custom ROMs still worth it? Assuming they still exist after all of this, idk what’s going on.
Not useless. Maybe “useless” if you intend to use it as an Android device, but if you just want a Libre mobile OS built based on AOSP, not having Google Play is a feature.
Just build an OS branching from the latest AOSP source code and voila, it’s practically a “linux phone”, no need to build another linux mobile OS from scratch.
