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.

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.
