Alternative ROMs immensely prolong the effective life of Android devices. Not only you get newer features, but my two recent phones both got noticeably more responsive and snappy when upgraded.
The only problem is that the process of installing an alternative OS on a phone is very technical -- much more than installing Linux on a PC, and even that is too much for most users.
- BLKNSLVR 3y agoI've bricked a couple of older phones due to very minor hardware version differences meaning fatal software results. I'm always scared of messing up the delicate process of custom recovery installation, custom ROM installation and rooting. Some of the hardware variations are essentially unknowable outside of seeing if it works or if it's bricked. Having said that, there are four functioning LineageOS phones in my household.
