With the recent announcement of Motorola partnering with GrapheneOS, I got curious about installing a custom rom like LineageOS or/e/OS on my Moto G Power (vegas) because I’ve been meaning to degoogle for a while now. As far as I can tell, Motorola has all the keys to be a primary development target: OEM supported boot unlocking, cheap devices, accessible hardware, etc. Why have their devices largely been ignored by custom ROM developers?
Motorola has always been a mediocre phone developer. It’s been better since they got absorbed into Lenovo, but they still aren’t that popular or good.
Android security is so bad these days that GrapheneOS is basically the only reasonable option, so it is a welcome change to see a non-Google manufacturer working with them.
