I’m in the same exact boat.

At some point when Google kills custom ROMs, everyone working on customs ROMs won’t have anywhere else to go other than a Linux phone.

Agreed! (because then I would get 3 more points on the test)

Got the same, I can’t believe how many weird comments and extra random things can get added into an email address.
