Using GraphineOS on a Pixel 6. It's very nice! I haven't had any problems with it.
Pixel Experience
GrapheneOS on my Pixel 5, and I highly recommend it!
Also, it's "operating system". Not "ROM".
I miss LineageOS. My current nokia has next to no scene. The thing I miss the most is holding the volume keys as prev/fwd buttons.
Evolution X
Why use this over something like LineageOS?
Havoc on LG G6 (Android 11 + Microg)
Works well but will be pretty much the end of the device
Sadly yeah. I just sold my last two G5's.
None because blackberry locked the bootloader :(
ArrowOS with MicroG on Poco F3
I used /e/ (now Murena IIRC) : really loved that I used Lineageos, and also SailfishOS as I have 2 smartphones compliant with this one. Now I use stock rom with a little debloat on my side for apps like facebook or netflix
I have Arrow OS A12L on my Cepheus, been quite good so far.
Unofficial crDroid with Poco X2. No real issues, although I haven't been able to get SBC-XQ working which it supposedly supports.
I'm running Evolution X on my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and have been for the past 3 years or so. The main maintainer uses this phone so it has always been pretty polished and feature rich.
PixelOS on Redmi Note 10 Pro, more stable and less bloated than MIUI tho I didn't try the other pixel roms or stock android roms.
Yeah feel like mostly recently MIUI has become unbelievably bloated with random BS. Nowadays everytime I get a new xiaomi phone I start by unlocking the bootloader.
Honor 10 with some old Lineage Android 8.1 without gapps, wife has Xiaomi Mix 2s running some old Xiaomi.eu with gapps
couldn't be bothered to upgrade to newer one, it's available for wife's one, but there is no point, if it wouldn't improve her life at all, as for me I would need to go to EMUI to have slightly newer Android but I will rather have clean Android, anyway looking for years for replacement compact phone with decent camera, currently Xiaomi 12 seems like best option for 400EUR
LineageOS for MicroG on a Oneplus 8 5g UW. It runs pretty smooth on this phone. Use to have a few minor bugs that got fixed eventually.
I really wish Verizon didn't abandon this phone, I'm stuck on Android 11 while all other OP8 models were updated to Android 12 and then 13 last year. Owners of this phone were supposed to get two years of updates and three years of security patches and we barely got a full year. The hardware is still more than enough for my needs so I can't justify an upgrade.
I use EvolutionX on my Xiaomi Poco F3 (Alioth), and it's the best custom ROM I have ever used features-wise and stability-wise.
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.
I've been using CrDroid on my Poco F2 Pro (LMI) for a long time now , have also dabbled with Elixir , Nusantara and a few others which was fun, I love custom roms and tinkering plus MIUI sucks badly.
Also the mire I tinker the deeper I go, I made my first magisk module this year , git pretty good at debugging and root files etc , plus I can restore my phone pretty fast now (I brick it every now and then lol)
This year I also got into battery replacement , I switched out my battery and my camera module, and switched out a samsung s9 plus battery, was pretty fun.
Where can you find camera modules? I had to switch phones as my last phone's camera got damaged by vibration. Everything else on the phone is in fine condition
I don't know anything about Magisk, but I really should learn. Replaceable batteries, or a battery that I can replace without totally destroying the phone, is a requirement for any phone I get.
Oh they aren't replaceable easily , I bought all the required tools and pried the phone open in order to replace them.
Oh I know!
