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 5. It is very nice and I would recommend it.
Same setup. Love it.
None sadly because fuck samsung
Locked bootloaders should be illegal if the phone is paid off.
Absolutely agree, and I refuse to buy Samsung phones because of this.
Rip :(
I hate how they blow fuses to permanently disable security features when the bootloader is unlocked.
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.
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.
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.
LineageOS on a Fairphone 3. It works well for what I do on my phone.
What do you think about the Fairphone 3? Is it a respectable daily driver?
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.
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!
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.
None because blackberry locked the bootloader :(
LineageOS so i can use Android11 on pretty old hardware
also another one with LOS11+MicroG instead of GApps, same reason
I’m using GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a, it’s great.
Man, got the 7a in May and the 1080p screen + 64 megapixel camera made me spend the extra $50 to not get the 6a. Blown away with both for the price. Regardless, Graphene here too.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6. Works, 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.
Pixel Experience
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.
It doesn’t do that in the stock ROM? That seems like a basic feature to me.
