Afiak, they are still leaving in the ADB option to install non-Google apps, for now.

    I’m saying this as a general strategy for everyone. Roms basically require a PC, and a lot of people nowadays do not have one.

      You can use Graphene’s web installer in a chromium based browser, even from another Android phone if you have one. So they don’t necessarily require a full blown PC. You can even do it from your steamdeck, if you were so inclined.

      I’d venture a guess that most people who know what Graphene OS is probably own a PC of some sort.

        Lol I haven’t used a PC in years mostly because of money problems, because Android mostly functions as a computer, I mean torrenting, VLC, uBlock Origin… I didn’t even need a PC, and again money issues, so i only had a phone as my main “computer”. Only recently got a SteamDeck and its my only PC.

      Those people are morons, and probably don’t care about their rights on their mobile device anyhow.

        “Oh, you didn’t spend at least a few hundred dollars on a device that you aren’t going to use for anything except flashing a custom ROM once? What a moron!”
