DON'T WAIT FOR A10 UPDATE !

This thread is for users who are:
1. Annoyed or bored of using stock android
2. Disappointed coz of the delay in A10 update by ASUS
3. Wondering why you bought an ASUS phone in first place 🤔
Firstly, Google about what custom ROMs are and check out it's advantages over stock ROM and get a clear idea about it.
I've seen a few videos on youtube and based on that I think the Evolution X rom is the best ROM for Asus Zenfone max pro M1 (personal choice)
Few other custom rom suggestions- Havoc OS, Corvus OS, Lineage OS.
REASONS:
1. They have a lot of features that stock android can't offer
2. You can personalize almost everything
3. Enhanced performance compared to stock ROM (certain kernals enhances the device performance even further)
4. Frequent OTA updates are available
5. These ROMs will be running on A11 before ASUS would provide the A10 update 🤭
PS: There are a lot of YouTube videos explaining this step by step (I'd recommend '24by7everything' channel for max pro M1 users)

But in custom rom we cant use any banking app... Even if we do i think its not safe
Check out this video on YouTube. Hope it will clarify your doubts!
Sorry I wasn't granted permission to share the video link, coz I'm new here 😅
I too have similar doubts about custom rom like
Is it really safe??? And is the ROM 100% clean without any extra code being added to it?
Anyone would say - you cant be sure even of ROM delivered by phone manufacturers.
And when you root the phone what is the security guarantee?
If anyone has some real world example of what security issues a user can face (or not) will be helpful
Custom ROMs are 100% safe. Their source code is available in GitHub where everyone can see it. So the developers won't add any additional code to it to steal your data. You don't have to worry about it.
And using a custom ROM doesn't mean you have to root your phone. You can use it even without rooting it.
If you are still not convinced with the safety aspect of custom ROMs, you can reach out in telegram channels where developers and coders will there ✌🏽
And custom roms will not be able to hide bootloader status. Read full article to understand.
Yes, I think best is Android should have provision to auto update official security updates directly without manufacturer. Phones should have both the clean Android version or a manufacturers version. Users can be given a choice which to take (mostly all would go for the unmodified Android version directly .
Project mainline?
Yes correct. similar to that. I guess new phones will have that feature.
No, every phone with android 10 will have that feature, it is already on the android 10 beta for asus zenfone max pro m1 and M2.
I doubt beta version has it, because even now the security update shows as July and not september. so its up to manufacturer to release the security update.
It has project mainline. Google rebranded it to Google play system update which you can find in the security section in settings.
Ya I had checked at the same section. Last updates are of July no further updates. What I was suggesting is as soon as security update is released by Google we can directly update the same and bypass manufacturers for security updates.
