Simple question really! Are any of you running a Custom ROM? Furthermore, are any of you running a De-Googled ROM?

Why do you run your custom ROM, and what are the drawbacks?

    When I was a teenager, I’d probably change my ROM 3 times a day. Spent more time in the recovery mode than using my phones.

    As a working adult… I wouldn’t even know the names of any modern custom ROMs.

      This is me. That rush when a new ROM booted for the first time, or the panic when you’re not sure if you’ve just softbricked your phone.

      Bugs? You tell me!

      And there are psychos like me that changed their custom ROM in the work… Ahh, that thrill to mess it up and lose your device for several hours until getting home.

        As much as I like blokada (and in a similar vein DuckDuckGo’s app tracking protection), I run an always on VPN so these are a non-starter for me, unless I get up off my ass and set up a layered VPN setup on my home server. AdAway is too simple once you get past rooting.
