Thanks for your comment. I will go to a dealership and test drive both and actually see/feel the difference.

 

I am looking To buy an EV soon and the Skoda elroq and enyaq look very interesting as I want a family car. The enyaq seems to have ~100L more of trunk space, but other that, there really doesn't seem to be much difference. This 100L difference does not justify the 8000 euro price difference.

Am I missing something here? I would like to have a larger trunk, but for this price difference I might opt for the elroq and make due with the 470L trunk.

Thanks! I have To say, the recommended Brands are somewhat dubious...apperently none of the larger Brands want you to do this to their phones...

Well I guess that's end of story then! Maybe still get rid of the phone then...

Thanks again for your help!

Everyone is saying that the bootloader can not be unlocked. However I see the option in the developer options of my phone...

This would be my first time doing anything with a custom ROM that is probably obvious...

But if the bootloader wouldn't be the problem. That would still mean that there simply might not be a ROM available, correct?

Thanks! I will take the time to go through this!

 

I recently bought an HMD Skyline because it is supposed to be a European brand and I tried to degoogle it as far as possible. I am not logged in on my Google account and use alternatives for all applicable apps.

Fact is, that some Google services are impossible to get rid of, such as file manager, photos etc...

Besides this the HMD Skyline's software really sucks. It constantly crashes or my navigation bar stops working. Throwing it out feels like a step too far as it is a relatively new phone and it is just creating more e-waste.

To hopefully strike two birds with 1 stone, I would like to install a custom non-google-ROM.

I believe the bootloader for the HMD skyline is unlockable these days, so that would remove the first obstacle. But my question is: are there any custom ROMs available for the Skyline? And to make the question a bit broader: can any device be flashed with a custom ROM or should a ROM be developed specifically per device type?

Any insights are appreciated!
