MODERATORS
The official requirement is there for 2 reasons:
Makes sense. I can confirm there's a nice step-by-step procedure for the XZ1C, and it's been tested by at least dozens of folks, some of which have multiple devices.
I've also looked at the Atom L myself, please post a review if you do end up getting it and using a custom ROM on it! I chose the XZ1C over it because the Atom L is literally 2x the thickness of the XZ1C, which is already as thick as I'd like a phone to be. I'm curious if the thickness will bother you at all, and just how good the unlocking and custom ROM experience is on such a niche phone.
I will. I don't have an issue with the tihckness, as I'm currently using a Unihertz Atom which is just as thick but has a 2.4" screen and absolutely no custom ROM support.
(I just realized the screens of almost all "small screen" phones are literally 4x as large as the one I'm using!).
