Question Is custom rom and rooting really worth in in 2025 or in future

[itadori98]

I had samsung j7 which I enjoyed flashing different custom roms and kernels but now I'm planning to buy a new phone and confused whether to buy phone with custom rom support(poco phonesor pixel) the only problem is play integrity because I use banking apps and any bugs or should I consider any other phones.

Welcome to Android Central forums. I haven't thought about rooting myself in some time. I used to be curious and dabbled for a time with rooting and ROMs and all of that but the trouble outweighed any advantage for my uses, so I let it go. All of that to say you might get better responses from people who are into and current on those types of things, like over at XDA Developers. They are known for being a resource for rooting and custom ROMs, and for being almost as friendly as Android Central, While I kid, I am serious about that being a good resource for this type of question.

There is a forum here for developers where they might talk about this kind of thing but we can ask if there is a more specific section where your question might get better traction or if this is the best place for it? We can ask @mustang7757

In the meantime check out XDA. Good luck and best wishes.
