I was using a lot xda-developers.com for anything that was related to Android development and phone support. (ROM etc..)

But it became rotten -->

As you may know, in order to install another ROM For example to get rid of Google ! 👿

You need one that is specifically build for your devices for example: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

This is so inefficient !

You might have heard of Treble that focus on this problem

• https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/here-comes-treble-modular-base-for.html
• https://www.hsc.com/resources/blog/what-is-android-treble/

sadly it's made by google 👿 and I doubt that they will release all the code. We will see.

If you don't know what is AOSP and this article too

I've always use only google-free smartphone ! But OMG it's time consuming.

1. Found a smartphone ( with the spec you want and in your budget )
2. Check if you can have\import it in your "country"
3. Check if someone already cook a ROM that support that specific model
4. or create it by yourself (even more time consuming )
5. Sometimes: bypass any protection that prevent to install another ROM !
6. Finally install the ROM's, boot loader etc...

At this time, when it seem that Treble is not there yet... Do you have a quicker path\Solution ?

Thanks
