I did the same with my HTC Thunderbolt. That phone had so many features that these newer "better" phones don't. Removable battery, expandable storage, IR blaster. That generation was peak for smartphones. Now I just get pixel A's because they are all the same trash, and at least it's cheap.

My Galaxy SIII took soo much abuse before it finally died, when I got it, a friend of mine had already installed CyanogenMod onto it. Best rooted phone I ever owned.

It was bulletproof in more ways than one, by the time I finally laid it to rest the charging port was broken and I had to charge it by touching wires to the 2 pins meant for a wireless charger, and the phone wouldn't charge unless it was turned off.
