What happened to the rooting/ROM communities?
Back in about 2013, the rooting and ROM community was vibrant, with highly customisable ROMs and root apps everywhere.

It's not the thickness that matters, but the weight: My thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
So after seeing but not being allowed to touch the Galaxy S25 Edge at both CES and MWC this year, I finally got to hold the device in my hand at Samsung's launch event (it was more like a party, more on that below) in New York on Friday.
Like many of you, I was skeptical about the phone: Why would I care about a phone that's thinner? When I held the Tecno Spark Slim, another phone marketed as "ultra thin", in my hand for the first time at MWC, though, it finally clicked for me: The thickness ...

These companies, which have reportedly shown interest in HarmonyOS, captured approximately 25% of the global smartphone market in Q1 2025. This shift would mean that one-quarter of the global Android market could disappear overnight.
