context: the devs of Project Elixir have paid features in their ROM. If you try to bypass it , they will wipe your internal data and esim
EDIT: the devs response
A custom ROM based on AOSP, which offers a minimal UI enhancement & close to stock pixel Android ROM with great “Performance”, “Security” and “Stability”.
What makes this even funnier is that on their website they say that the ROM is great and all (with very poor grammar and odd phrasing), but they don’t say what they actually changed. The closest thing I could find was their screenshot gallery where they show some new icons and AI-generated wallpapers
Also corporate memphis art everywhere because why not lol
I feel sorry for anyone who was using this ROM, but this whole thing is hilarious
Who is this for really though? Any person installing roms is clued in and knows what they want. This “stable” author’s custom-rom credentials should be drop kicked into the sun.
From the ROM website’s footer:
I see now why they “quoted” stability :P
Oh, and just using ADB is enough to trigger the code to wipe the data. But that’s fine according to the developer because “its just a format data, not like your phone gets destroyed”

Then why not just use the Pixel Android ROM?
Idk, I didn’t design their website
¯\_(ツ)_/¯Elixir supported a vast amount of devices.

holy shit their site has a lot of ads
Sounds like they may have set it up to wipe for security paranoia, and maybe not to be jerks?
