    I wish this stuff was a little more mainstream. Part of it is simply self-interest: there would be more unlockable devices and fewer app developers trying to block their apps from running on third-party ROMs if more people ran them.

    Part of it is I think that would be a better world. Big tech would have a bit less power. Devices would last longer.

      It was a lot more mainstream in the early days of android. When the companies used to lock internet tethering, you had to root to benefit from it.
