Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Honestly, I don't really need my phone for much so as long as the battery hasn't degraded too much I'll be more than happy!

I'm holding out for the 10. The 8 added mirrored display (so you can mirror your screen on a monitor... I'd rather this come with the Pixel Tablet 2 and the Pixel Tablet skipped it form some reason) and MTE, which GrapheneOS says is the most significant addition to security since they've started the OS. If those come with the 10, not to mention the 10 is supposed to have Google's inhouse chip and not Samsung's...yep, I'm upgrading.

Great points, I'll definitely keep an eye on the 10! Should fit in nicely within the time I'll be due an upgrade, give or take.
