Descendant ROM June 2022 Update | Descendant ROM 12.1

In this guide, we will be talking about the Descendant ROM June 2022 update. Back in April 2022, the first stable build of the Descendant ROM based on Android 12L was released by the team of developers behind the custom ROM.

Initially, the ROM came out with support for only a few devices and the build also included some bug fixes over the beta version. In the following month, the May update was released by the developers which brought in improvements regarding stability and efficiency.

Recently, the June 2022 build of the Descendant ROM was released by the team and it came packing some new features and compatibility for 3 new devices.

The Descendant custom ROM is particularly known for providing useful features over the original Vanilla Android experience. It is known to be for users who intend to have the ability to customize their device but still have a user interface close to stock Android. The Descendant Android custom ROM provides exactly what these users look for.
