A custom ROM allows you to extend the life of your Android phone, but does it come with risks in 2024 and why isn't it more popular?

I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

    I know the pain. Before I found a very obscure device fingerprint I could do a little spoofing with, I basically had to search the web like once a month for something that would let me bypass PIAPI again. It was exhausting.

    Ironically enough soon after I found that obscure fingerprint I switched to paying with my credit card instead of my phone since my banking app couldn’t let me turn on contactless payments with my phone for whatever reason.
