Timeline for I'm running Android 4.1.2; it includes known vulnerabilities. Installing a newer firmware image would take time and effort. Must I really do so?

B) Also, the exploit you mention in your first paragraph is an exploit which I think only affects outdated Android versions. Although it's true that most Android users are still running outdated Android versions, they can upgrade if they want. C) If you edit your answer to fix or remove the first paragraph and to fix your bullet point 2, and then if you ping me, I will consider upvoting your answer. | |

There is nothing wrong with CyanogenMod because it does not ship with Google Play, and furthermore you can patch CyanogenMod to include Google Play. Granted, if your advice is to not root the phone, installing third-party ROMs isn't realistic anyways | |
