Me acaba de caer un Motorola Edge 40 Neo, con la pantalla rota y casi inutilizable. Con mucha paciencia, logre habilitar el modo desarrollador, reiniciarlo de fábrica y volverlo a poner en modo desarrollador.
Ahora, conectado desde la PC, puedo ver la pantalla sin problemas y manejarlo cómodamente.
Antes de empezar mi búsqueda en la red por ROM compatibles, quiero preguntar por aquí si alguien ya lo ha hecho con alguno, si es así, ¿cual?
Gracias.

The app I've been using for non-Signal texts is about to go unsupported. The phone's manufacturer recommended switching to Google Messages.
Because Google, eww, I just switched to QUIK, a third party FOSS app, and made it my default. The switch was seamless, took under a minute, I like the interface and features, and it's working well so far.
I then opened the old default app, and got this sleazy splash screen.
If I didn't know better, I'd think Google Messages was now my default.
FreeDroidWarn
Overview
From 2026/2027 onward, Google will require developer verification for all Android apps on certified devices, including those installed outside of the Play Store.
This library shows an alert dialog with a deprecation warning informing the user that the developer is not going to provide verification. It uses this text:
GitHub - woheller69/FreeDroidWarn · GitHub
https://github.com/woheller69/FreeDroidWarn?tab=readme-ov-file#solutions
What we can do (as consumers, mainly): Use alternative app stores, like FDroid https://f-droid.org/
We've got until September to develope an answer to this. They don't typically backpeddle on these kinds of things, so it's likely to happen no matter what we do, so finding a solution that circumvents whatever it is they are doing is our best bet.
I use these tools, and have a *very* basic understaning of how they work, so these may be useless in this situation, but here are some tools that come to mind that maybe useful:
## Definitely Useful
- Magisk: If your phone has the abilitly to be rooted, this is ideal. Root it, remove android and install a custom ROM. (Visit xdaforums.com and search for your device with the keyword root to see if your phone can be rooted)
## Maybe useful
let me know what y'all think. Again, I know what they do, but I don't have a full grasp so may be not helpful
- Shizuku
- Opens up some filepaths and gives some extra permissions by taking advantage of wireless ADB (Android Debug Bridge). If you aren't able to root your phone, this is the next best thing.
- Debloater
- Can we use this to get rid of whatever system app Android will enforce this with?
- MicroG
- Application for spoofing Play Services, which admittedly can be a pain to set up because Google is trying real hard to keep you from using this. Honestly, probably one of the big reasons for what they're doing.
That's all i can think of for now. What do y'all think, can we use any of this to avoid this bullshit.
148 days to go...

Google announced that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google.
This registration will involve:
- Paying a fee to Google
- Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
- Providing government identification
- Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
- Listing all current and future application identifiers
