What custom ROM is on your phone? (beehaw.org)

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 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.

I used to run HTC phones and the custom ROM scene was LEGIT. Now I'm in the same boat as you - stock Samsung, but I removed as many bullshit stock apps as I could with ADB.

I miss CM and simple boot unlocking.
