Yeah XDA is (or I guess, was) invaluable for custom ROMs for Android. There's a huge modding/coding community on XDA.

Sadly the wild west days of custom ROMs is mostly over :(

You say "wild west" as if they were doing something uncivilized, but running the code you choose is nothing more than exercising your property rights.

The marginalization/destruction of custom ROMs isn't civilization catching up, it's totalitarianism closing in.

Camera: broken

Wifi radio: broken

Accelerometer broken: WIP no ETA.

Bugs: you tell me

Think this is what they meant

Another way of viewing the use of "wild west" was exactly that, the lack of over regulation and a more hands off government. In reality it wasn't the utopia some want to make it out to be as slang like "snake oil salesmen" alludes.

Meh, the scene for custom softwares on PS2s, phones, psps, PS3 Emulation, etc are still going strong. We only really just figured out how to emulate the PS3 a couple of years ago.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
