Скачать или смотреть They Killed Custom ROMs… And Nobody Noticed!

Custom ROMs and unlocked bootloaders are fading fast, with brands like OnePlus now adding restrictions such as requiring applications to unlock on ColorOS 16. Many OEMs block or limit bootloader access, citing security, warranty, compliance, and revenue concerns, while Google’s stricter Play Integrity checks, DRM protections, and reliance on proprietary drivers make ROMs harder to use. At the same time, modern Android skins already offer deep customization and longer updates, so fewer users demand ROMs. With Google also moving Android development to private branches, the golden age of custom ROMs is over—now surviving only as a niche for enthusiasts and older devices.
