It's also a false sense of security because community roms are maintained by a small group of (often) entirely anonymous people with nearly zero repercussions if they put something in that they shouldn't.
- toastal 3y agoImplying manufacturers aren’t putting stuff in their ROMs they shouldn’t? At least these custom ROMs are built & maintained in the open.
- phatskat 3y agoNo, I think the implication is that if a major manufacturer lets something Bad™ slip in, they can be held liable. xXFoneBoi93 could slip in a root kit and the custom ROM they contribute to probably wouldn’t be held accountable in any meaningful way. That’s how I read it at least
- hurutparittya 3y agoHeld liable, as in getting a fine that's 0.3℅ of their yearly revenue ?
- phatskat 3y agoWell sure, that’s a completely different discussion though.
