I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

Top 3 examples for the stuff you can do that’s so worthwhile?

With root?

  1. Having a superior backup and restore method, Swiftbackup rooted is way better than Google’s solution.

  2. Hassle free ad-less YouTube (and YT music) the root apps (Magisk or KSU) come with a way to auto update, so, from the user side I just hit update and I am good to go, no need to waste time patching the apks myself.

  3. I can replace the Google news from the side/left menu with whatever app I like, in my case, the Feeder app.

I can go on, but you just asked for 3.

I just disable Google app completely. Then Google news on the left just goes away

Fair, but I still want something on the left.
