Thanks to the open-source nature of Android. there are a plethora of things to try out. For newcomers, they could theme their device, apply tons of icon packs, try out custom launchers, etc. On the other hand, the tech geeks take this a step further and tweak their device OS in the form of the root, or even try an altogether different OS based on Android. The latter is possible via custom ROMs like LineageOS, HavocOS, etc. For these to happen, you need an unlocked bootloader, which you already be aware of. But there exist some devices that don’t have many developments concerning these custom developments. Exynos devices are always the first in line to suffer. This is because unlike Snapdragon and up to an extent MediaTek, Exynos chipsets are closed source. Therefore, there isn’t much in line for the developers to get hold of its source code and hence they can’t carry out developments for the devices equipped with this chipset. Earlier, we used to have only Samsung devices suffer this fate, but now Motorola too has joined this bandwagon. Many of its devices lined up for Android One series comes with Exynos chipset under the hood. So for all these devices, there exists a life savior in the form of GSI ROMs. Generic System Images have been made possible thanks to the Project Treble introduced by Google alongside Android Oreo.
