Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread in c/games@lemmy.world

Same, World of Tanks is the first game that comes to my mind when people mention pay2win mechanics. I am quite happy that I don't play that game anymore.

Same, I have recently installed LineageOS on my phone and was looking for various replacements for Goggle apps. What I really like about OrganicMaps is that it downloads the maps locally, so you can view it even if you aren't connected to the internet.

Does anyone know if any of these can be rooted or custom ROM very easily? in c/android@lemmy.world

GSI (Generic System Image) ROM-s do have bare-bones apps due to their nature of being mostly designed for developers. That won't really be a problem as you can just install better alternatives to those apps. The problem with these ROM-s is that they most likely won't have drivers for the camera for example. Also the phone has to be Treble-compliant and it has to come with Android 9 (ie. it has to be preinstalled, devices that have been upgraded to Android 9 aren't supported.)
