    I have a pixel 4a (yes, ik its eol, i use it more as a backup) that used to be rooted, until i got that shitty battery update, immediately switched to graphene. So yes you do still get updates on rooted

      Weird. Also a Pixel4a user (condolences to both of us), but I had LineageOS on mine and was rooted, but I’ve had no software updates. I get reminders from LineageOS that a new build is available, but I just swipe right because if it ain’t broke don’t fix

        Lineage and graphene don’t force updates. They could but that’s not their mo. If they did they would presumably lose 90% of their users.

        Stock android even if rooted easily can and does force updates.

      I think it depends on the device. I remember rooting my s7, or maybe it was the grand prime? I cant remember the exact model, but it was samsung and around that time period for those two models, and any software update i wanted to apply, including security updates, had to be manually installed/side loaded.
