Custom ROMs are immensely popular as one might wonder, the World of Custom ROMs allow the user to change the entire Operating System of their devices but comes with an abundance of risks such as "Bricking" the phone which might lead to temporary or permanent damage to the integrity of the device. The very first thing that one should do is enable OEM from developer option, which instantly wipes the phone and breaks the device Integrity, which even displays a message during boot.
Then there is the hassle of finding a Stable ROM and then following those instructions, all of this and one misstep can cause the device to fail, sometimes even permanently.
Custom ROMs might be losing traction due to companies following the latest trends and for once listening to customers. Companies are trying out new features and taking risks.
OnePlus is one that stands out the most; they continuously try out new features and very active among the Community, which gives them a clear edge among other Android devices.
One of the factors is that Android's Security, which has come a long way when considering security. There were times where Andoird was incredibly vulnerable when it came to safety, but that is not the case now. Another significant fact is that OEMs are not encouraging such acts, they actively try to implement extra security such as the Samsung, they have a security system established known as Knox, which is secure for one part but makes life that much harder for the enthusiast community.
Custom ROMs provide a plethora of features that only one can dream of, the main thing which makes it more popular among users is the ability to remove almost any application which is a welcome feature, and almost every company must accustom.
There are OEM's like Samsung who include a surplus amount of application most of which cannot be uninstalled. Companies are actively developing new UI and other small features to lure users, these days providing the best Hardware has been the trend but overlooking software might be a lousy sign which is the central part of user interaction. The decision to change the software remains somewhat of a question. Considering all the fact and the difficulties the Custom ROM community is still active and publish. It remains to see what does the future hold for this segment of the market. What are your thoughts do let us know!
