This is possibly one of the best reasons to use something like Cyanogenmod, giving you control over updates rather than waiting on manufacturers and mobile operators.
- freethinky 11y agoI'm currently using Cyanogenmod (on a Samsung Note 3) but have a problems where I really consider to switch back to the stock ROM: - Battery life is reduced quite much, I spent quite some time finding the root cause with BatterBatteryStat, but in the end, it are just the core services which seem to use more power, there is no app in the background. With Cyanogenmod it discharges in the night for ca. 30% without doing anything and disable WLAN. When I still had the stock ROM I was out in the mountains for 5 days and could take almost 400 photos without recharging. SlimROM was much better in this regard, but they didn't had the PrivacyGuard and so far do not support the Note 3 on their newer ROMs. - I tried to avoid Google Play, unfortunately a few apps depend on it (especially all the ones using Google Map). But my main problem is more that I've no idea how dangerous alternatives like Aptoide are. I accidentally downloaded some apps which were already fully unlocked, while only available for money on Google Play. I found a Java Program (http://www.onyxbits.de/raccoon http://www.onyxbits.de/raccoon) to download apps through a Google Account on your PC and then transfer it onto your phone, but this is somewhat cumbersome.
