>EU Mandates Android Bootloader Lock, Ending Custom ROMs from August 2025
https://blazetrends.com/eu-mandates-android-bootloader-lock-ending-custom-roms-from-august-2025/
>Starting August 1, 2025, bootloaders will be locked down. This means users won’t be able to install alternative ROMs anymore. All Android smartphone makers must follow this new rule.

Cuckdroid sisters, our response?.. How will we install lineageOS on our new phones?
>>
>>106441026
Custom roms haven't been a thing for ten years or no so. iPhone is obviously worse and there's no alternative or solution to this other than having a small, cheap Android for 2FA and using as a hotspot then carrying around a small Linux tablet for applications, messaging and wifi calling.
>>
>>106441026
>How will we install lineageOS on our new phones?
why would you do this? your warranty would be dead then.
>>
>>106441026
Custom roms haven't been a thing for awhile. I went and looked and even rooting shit is annoying af. I want to run NFS mounted drives on my phone with I am home. I guess everyone else on the planet just uses shitty slow af SMB shares.
>>

>cheap Android for 2FA and using as a hotspot then carrying around a small Linux tablet
I tried something similar, used pinephone, then steamdeck (not with steamOS), but it's still far less comfortable than lineage unfortunately

§19:
>Verification by radio equipment of the compliance of its combination with software should not be abused in order to prevent its use with software provided by independent parties.
Find me a better quote than that. That article is probably a bunch of LLM slop.
>>
>>106441063
Also I installed stock ROM on my 2018 phone and it was extremely slow, much worse than lineage (it was discontinued few months ago). So lineage can also be used to avoid planned obsolescence.
>>
First of all, all modern smart phones are computer.

I should be allowed to do anything with my computer.

I would do this on an old phone too but never on a new one just because of the warranty, phone dropped, broken, no warranty but hey I had lineage on it to fuck goodle LMAO

Yes. You literally pay Google to fuck off by purchasing their Pixel.

EU doesn't want to protect users. They have ulterior motives.
>>
>>106441169
Like protecting profit of capitalists?
>>
>>106441133
Well, I always did it on new phones. Before that I checked if everything works specifically for your warranty case. If you drop your phone, warranty doesn't apply and it won't be repaired for free.

>>106441186
I heard that if you download (some specific) apps from play store, you can't read the news from some sources available in it, that were labeled as disinformation by your government. But you can read everything if you install .apk from app manufacturer website. Not sure if it's true, but if it is, seems like EU is preparing for war and is blocking russian/chinese propaganda. Which of course will also be used in all possible ways to fuck up the cattle.
>>
>>106441210
>that can tell these vampires to fuck off
they never allowed unlocking bootloader and installing any applications you want even without the vampires telling them to do it, lol
>>
>>106441227
this is a thing with telegram
i know in canada, if you download telegram off the app store it blocks RT and /pol/ 4chan (a channel that just links to pol threads that got 300+ replies)

you have to download the apk off the site for it to not be blocked
>>
>>106441216
in any country, because you can drop and break it hundreds of times for fun
>>
>>106441186
No. They want to "protect the children" by making you verify user age and perhaps other information to used Google Play store. You think it's a coincidence Google is locking side loaded software? It's not. There's a whole plot to force digital ID to limit what you can do in the internet.

Even if you don't think EU has ulterior motives, this regular was about making sure radio devices would be certified, to avoid malicious radio communications, not locking devices, but companies interpreted as locking down is the only way to comply. Now imagine how much damage will these age verifications, wallets and digital ID do.

The reason they're doing it with android is because everyone as a phone and everyone is being forced to have one.

this is a month old fake news you stupid brownoid homosexual

>>106441278
Yup. No freedom for goyim.

>>106441288
It's not fake news. Samsung locked down their phones and Google and Xiaomi are potentially doing the same.
>>
>>106441288
well, I hope that you are right

and replacing it with pro-ukrainian and pro-jewish propaganda. oh wow

European wanted a totalitarian gov that locks down all the communication systems so there cannot be any political dissents. Along with it, they locked down their minds behind bars.

>>106441293
there's no EU law forcing them though

What do you need a new phone for you braindead shitskin? Use what you've got already till it literally can no longer run whatever app you've deemed non-negotiable and keep replacing the others if they stop working in like 10 years. Android 6 here, still going strong.
>>
>>106441368
The goal of the totalitarian gov is to restrict the flow of information so the common people cannot share information across the local neighborhood, making citizens blind/deaf/mute to whats happening around them. They dont want people talking about mass importing of migrats from africa. They dont want people talking about children being castrated by top down mass movements.
>>
>>106441432
I need it when my current phone becomes discontinued by lineageOS.
>Android 6 here, still going
aren't you afraid of being hacked because you don't receive security updates?
>>
>>106441439
>>106441368
And the only information that is allowed is government approved legacy media that is controlled by either the government or funded by people who work with the gov to suppress the views. This is being taught as part of the "media literacy" propaganda in the west.
>>
>>106441470
the only thing to be "afraid" of in that situation is some app arbitrarily not supporting your current version

Yesterday I tried out SFTPGo as a WebDAV server and it's decently fast between my Android tablet and Windows PC. You can quasi-mount it with gvfs inside Termux and browse via e.g. Thunar, and play media with mpv. I tried a bunch of BD remuxes this way and saw speeds upwards of 500 Mb/s when seeking in mpv. It felt almost as if I was dealing local files.
(btw, SFTP wouldn't work with Thunar/Gigolo when I tried it, which is why I tried WebDAV in the first place).
And then in Android land, you can use a Document provider, which can expose your WebDAV server in Android's storage framework.
Of course I know that these solutions will never be as transparent and seamless as an actual fs mount, but for some use cases it's already quite capable.

>>106441470
Nope. It's fully firewalled and degoogled and I don't use any app that came with the phone, only third party stuff, mostly from droid-ify.

This is a fake news article generated by ChatGPT that erroneously cites EU laws on radio equipment in telecommunications devices, which are otherwise completely irrelevant to the subject at hand. It does not talk about phone bootloader restrictions.

Yeah, the EU is technologically completely incapable. It's a lot like an LLM in that sense:
It imitates competent behavior, but in the current year this continent is a complete farce.
"We" have absolutely nothing, but pretend to be one of the "big guys".
Fuck the EU. Fuck Von der Leyen. Fuck the absolute state of Germany.
