  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Am I the only here that smells bullshit/ragebait? When your phone has the bootloader unlocked and you're rooted, you simply cannot receive official software updates. That only works in custom roms.

EDIT: It seems that for several people this is not the case. Guess I'm wrong then, but personally I've never received software update requests after rooting. Right now in my xperia 5v I literally can't even check to see if there is one. The only way to know is to look up my model in xperifirm.

I have a pixel 4a (yes, ik its eol, i use it more as a backup) that used to be rooted, until i got that shitty battery update, immediately switched to graphene. So yes you do still get updates on rooted

Why not? I remember buying phones that could be unlocked and had no issues with them updating after doing so.

I want the same control over my phone that I have over my desktop computer. Why is it so hard? Sure, there are several people not capable of doing that, but they aren't on their desktop as well, and it still works out. Not everyone needs to run Linux, and that's fine. But I want to.

These criminals know that the updates will negatively impact functionality thus forcing you to upgrade. It's theft.

Every major Android update takes up more memory. When my phone is about a year old I have to just stop updating it, because I tend to keep it close to full, and I can't have them stealing more memory from me.
