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. I love it. I migrated from the Apple ecosystem about two years ago into the FOSS and Linux world and haven’t looked back.
None sadly because fuck samsung
Locked bootloaders should be illegal if the phone is paid off.
Rip :(
I hate how they blow fuses to permanently disable security features when the bootloader is unlocked.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5. It is very nice and I would recommend it.
Same setup. Love it.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 4a, bit I’m looking to upgrade to a 6a vor 7a depending in the next good sale price
Are these sales directly from google?
Last time I checked pixel phones the performance and “freshness” Vs price ratio was really bad compared to something like Xiaomi with working xda ROMs.
CalyxOS on a Pixel 5. Its nice and micro G works fine in most situations. When I have the time though, I’m probably going to try graphine os with sandboxed google play and see how that works for me.
I use this little niche OS called iOS, made by some fruit company.
Oh that. I heard the project leader died of a perfectly curable form of cancer because he was going to heal himself with food or something. Crazy story, but the OS works well.
Guy who ran a fruit company tried to cure cancer with fruit. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
LineageOS on a Fairphone 3. It works well for what I do on my phone.
What do you think of the Fairphone? It’s pricey and not available where I am, but I’d like one.
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.
Pixel Experience
CalyxOS on my Pixel 3. Love it. Runs better than the standard Android crap.
Who knew getting rid of all the tracking bullshit helps? This is my surprised face -> :-/
I’ve never had a stock android experience except for two weeks with an original Nexus phone when it came out. Hated it so much, I returned it and got Blackberry. When I was eventually forced into Android, I immediately loaded CyanogenMod and have never used a stock ROM. My friends talk about their phones, and I have no idea what they’re talking about. My experience is totally different. I couldn’t use a stock ROM.
None because blackberry locked the bootloader :(

You sound like me. I don’t like large phones. The Nexus 5 was a perfect size. And I don’t use stock ROMs. I flash a phone as soon as I get it.

IodeOS on FairPhone 4.
I’m only running FOSS application on it.
LineageOS on a Moto One 5G Ace. Soon to be replaced with a OnePlus Nord N200 because the charging port of all things is failing.
Also LineageOS. Pixel 3a
It’s going to take a lot for me to want to upgrade when this phone has unlimited photo upload, and a headphone jack.
Same! Gotta have the headphone jack!
Generally,when my charging ports start failing it’s due to there being pocket lint in the charging port.
The easiest way to fix the problem is a thinned down toothpick or the back of a tooth flosser, that is assuming that is the problem for you.
LineageOS so i can use Android11 on pretty old hardware
also another one with LOS11+MicroG instead of GApps, same reason
