Since we don’t yet have a specific community for custom phone ROMs, let’s discuss them here. Are you running a custom ROM? Which one? On what hardware? How is it?

    GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6. Works great! I’ve had to override the custom memory allocator one or two times for banking apps, but that’s just flipping a switch in the app info.

    Unfortunately none. I have an S10e with a locked bootloader. This is the first android phone I’ve owned that I hadn’t used a custom ROM on. The last Samsung phone I owned was an S4 and I hadn’t kept up with the custom ROM scene, so I hadn’t known the locked bootloader nonsense when I got the S10e.

    It sucks because there are no note security updates for the phone even though the hardware is still in good condition. I can’t justify replacing a working phone even if I could afford a new one. I’m hoping eventually a vulnerability will be uncovered that allows unlocking the bootloader. There was one a few years ago I think, but it got patched before I even knew about it.

    LineageOS with microg on a s10+. It works great, no issues with apps not working but still have minimal google dipping it’s fingers into my life.

    I only buy phones now that will support a custom ROM, I can’t go back now.

    DerpFest on OnePlus 7T. It has tons of customization options, also stable. Comes with GAPPs so some might not like that.
