ROM scene. Where? (lemmings.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

It's been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I've got the itch again.

XDA used to be a good place, but... I hope I'm out of there loop or something, because it's almost a ghost town compared to years ago.

I've got us carrier unlocked devices; OnePlus N10 and N20, Moto G7Power.

GSI are dominant now, device specific Roms are rare these days.
