Unlocking phones has more to do with the phone’s manufacturer than the SoC it uses. Developing custom ROMs for MediaTek is more difficult. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t devices with MediaTek SoCs that have custom ROMs.

Custom roms development for my new phone has only just started. Right now, there are only beta releases of LineageOS (unofficial). It doesn’t look that bad even though it has a MediaTek SoC.

Thanks! I didn’t know about swipe-to-text. It is much faster than my very slow typing. I really don’t know why I wasn’t using swipe before. Look like it will need to go back to google keyborard from HeliBoard.
