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?

    I’m running a pixel 4a 5g and have thought about switching to a custom ROM. I’m a Linux user and big open source software fan. Privacy is a plus, but I don’t know if I need Fort Knox levels of privacy. What custom Roms out there would be a good fit for me? Many thanks in advance

      I have a pixel 4a and can vouch for CalyxOS. If you go the MicroG enabled route, you can still use Google services, but it’s implemented in a more privacy friendly way and you don’t lose a lot of functionality.

      I’m using LineageOS with MicroG. Not great for privacy, but better than stock. I’m thinking of switching to GrapheneOS in order to have a functioning sandboxed Google Play Store.
