    Custom bootloaders, recovery and ROMs are more quickly going from a nerdy gimmick to a necessity.

      All the more surprising that Google of all brands makes it so easy to do on their devices

        Most of google doesnt care about ongoing hardware sales, so the software teams can do cool things.

        Extreme bummer. I am actually dreaming of getting a Fold. Maybe as custom ROMs develop, I am sure it’s just they have not yet understood how to properly implement it.
