@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat yeh... I always turn that watermark off, and whenever it updated, the phone turns it on again... Just waiting for the warranty to go void, and I'll prolly be installing lineageOS on this

@hex00fshield ah I see. Lineage destroys your security, so I wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary. Stock is more secure in every case except for Graphene.

@hex00fshield This terrible security is the case for most ROMs.
LineageOS:
It destroys verified boot, weakens SE Linux policies, uses userdebug builds adding immense amounts of unnecessary attack surface, no firmware updates, no rollback protection, and more.
Replicant:
All of Lineage's problems plus all of the devices it supports are too old to get *real* security updates.
OmniROM, /e/, Paranoid android, etc. They're all more or less the same. Stock doesn't have any of these problems.
