I have CalyxOS on my Pixel 4a; want to try GrapheneOS

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.

None because blackberry locked the bootloader :(

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.

Lineage OS on my pixel 5. I'm looking to set up my environment so I can build and sign my ROM that way I can lock the bootloader.

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.

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.

First I tried iode but after a short trip to Ubuntu Mobile I decided to try Calyx. Runs fine on my Fairphone

Unofficial crDroid with Poco X2. No real issues, although I haven't been able to get SBC-XQ working which it supposedly supports.

Honor 10 with some old rooted Lineage Android 8.1 without gapps, wife has Xiaomi Mix 2s running some old Xiaomi.eu I think Android 9 with gapps (plus she has company S20 FE with official ROM), actually upgrading to new phone would bring pretty much zero benefits to my daily life besides having better camera

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 (4a seemed great but asymetrical punch hole and crap battery and all other pixels had either this problem or they are too big already, zenfones unreliable hardware without software support), currently Xiaomi 12 seems like best option for 400EUR

I miss custom ROMs. I haven't messed with them since 4.4 KitKat.

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.

Am using Elixir on my Xiaomi phone, I really like the customization stuff. It would be ideal if it would come in a variant without Google services :/ Otherwise it runs pretty nice.

/e/OS - I bought a cheap Poco X3 pro, that was probably cheap because they show ads inside the OS. So now I got to have a cheap phone that's also private and fast (a friend bought the same phone, no custom ROM, and now complains about it being slow)

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

Havoc on LG G6 (Android 11 + Microg)

Works well but will be pretty much the end of the device

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.

I was using Arrow OS Android 13 until 2 weeks and then my bank decided that even though i wasnt rooted and just unlocked bootloader my phone is a security risk and i couldnt access the app so ive had to go back to MIUI for now. I actually noticed on the custom rom that it only ran on V12.5 firmware when Miui is on V14 firmware which I think added APTX Adaptive and other things. So im really on the fence about ever sticking a custom rom on this Poco F3 again

CalyxOS on my Pixel 6a. It works well for my needs with very little compromise.
