With the recent announcement of Motorola partnering with GrapheneOS, I got curious about installing a custom rom like LineageOS or/e/OS on my Moto G Power (vegas) because I've been meaning to degoogle for a while now. As far as I can tell, Motorola has all the keys to be a primary development target: OEM supported boot unlocking, cheap devices, accessible hardware, etc. Why have their devices largely been ignored by custom ROM developers?

i have a Razr 50 ultra, i like it, i forgot how nice a small phone is. i can fold it and use the outside small screen for lots of stuff as well. i came from a Samsung S22u,i really miss the stylus and the camera is ordinary but other then that, so light with this silicone battery as well. i got it at a great price.
