Locked bootloaders should be illegal if the phone is paid off.
Rip :(
I hate how they blow fuses to permanently disable security features when the bootloader is unlocked.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5. It is very nice and I would recommend it.
Same setup. Love it.
GrapheneOS. I love it. I migrated from the Apple ecosystem about two years ago into the FOSS and Linux world and haven't looked back.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 4a, bit I'm looking to upgrade to a 6a vor 7a depending in the next good sale price
Are these sales directly from google?
Last time I checked pixel phones the performance and "freshness" Vs price ratio was really bad compared to something like Xiaomi with working xda ROMs.

I use this little niche OS called iOS, made by some fruit company.
Oh that. I heard the project leader died of a perfectly curable form of cancer because he was going to heal himself with food or something. Crazy story, but the OS works well.

Using GraphineOS on a Pixel 6. It's very nice! I haven't had any problems with it.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7, having a great experience with it.
LineageOS with microg on a s10+. It works great, no issues with apps not working but still have minimal google dipping it's fingers into my life.
I only buy phones now that will support a custom ROM, I can't go back now.
Unfortunately none. I have an S10e with a locked bootloader. This is the first android phone I've owned that I hadn't used a custom ROM on. The last Samsung phone I owned was an S4 and I hadn't kept up with the custom ROM scene, so I hadn't known the locked bootloader nonsense when I got the S10e.
It sucks because there are no note security updates for the phone even though the hardware is still in good condition. I can't justify replacing a working phone even if I could afford a new one. I'm hoping eventually a vulnerability will be uncovered that allows unlocking the bootloader. There was one a few years ago I think, but it got patched before I even knew about it.

LineageOS so i can use Android11 on pretty old hardware
also another one with LOS11+MicroG instead of GApps, same reason
CalyxOS on a Pixel 5. Its nice and micro G works fine in most situations. When I have the time though, I'm probably going to try graphine os with sandboxed google play and see how that works for me.
I went with good old lineageOS but I would like to pick up a Pixel device so I can give GrapheneOS or CalyxOS a go.
Man I remember the days of xda and custom Roma holy shit. Nexus 5 was the one, slimrom was the way. Ahh memories.
I recently flashed LineageOS on my old Note 4 that had previously ran a few custom ROMs but other than that haven't used one in years since I haven't had a need with my last LG or current Samsung phone.
These days there's more of a need for custom hardware like a headphone jack or SD card slot but unfortunately those can't just be flashed to a phone like a ROM can. The software/firmware side of things has been fine for me.

Pixel Experience
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'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.
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.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a and iOS on an iPhone in the other pocket lol
I used to run CyanogenMod/LineageOS on my older phones, but since my S8, I've been using stock ROMs. Honestly not even sure a custom ROM exists for the S21. I'd love to make the switch if it does, however I know Google Wallet (Google Pay at the time) had a huge issue with custom firmware/ROMs and I don't imagine it's gotten any better over the years.

LineageOS on a Moto One 5G Ace. Soon to be replaced with a OnePlus Nord N200 because the charging port of all things is failing.

Pixel 7 with Graphene. I love it. I have sanboxed google play installed, and occasionally dont get a notification (i suspect the apps are just not running in the background, so once I open the app I get the notifs). Would recommend.

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.

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.

Havoc on LG G6 (Android 11 + Microg)
Works well but will be pretty much the end of the device
