If you're that fed up, may as well buy an iPhone and root/flash the thing to a custom OS, or another Samsung, and do the same thing. Those brands have consistently had the best hardware, so if you're gonna just nuke the software anyway, which is your best option, may as well get the hardware that you want.
No offense but what world are you living in where you can just install custom firmware on iPhones and Samsungs? I'd love to live in that world but those are two of the worst manufacturers for cfw support
I think Huawei is worse
Did they disable jailbreaking and flashing new roms on in the last few years?
yes
Well fuck. Looks like I need to stockpile some Galaxy S10s
Can you even root those brands easily?
Not anymore
I'm not sure that it was ever easy. I haven't rooted anything newer than a Samsung Galaxy S10, but it was possible then.
Root/flash an iPhone? How?
Jailbreaking is the term for an iPhone, IIRC.
But that's just semantics, as the end result is the same. Which leads back to my original question: how? Rooting a modern iphone has been all but impossible for quite some time now.
I haven't done it for a few years. Didn't know they killed it on newer models
