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?
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

LineageOS so i can use Android11 on pretty old hardware
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 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.
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.
