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.

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'd love to dabble with something like Graphene OS, but I find the Google Dialer Spam Call/Text Protection and Hold For Me features indispensable. Right now as far as I'm aware, those don't work with Graphene. Also, I'm on the Advanced Protection program with Google so it is a no go for me as far as I'm aware.
I used /e/ (now Murena IIRC) : really loved that I used Lineageos, and also SailfishOS as I have 2 smartphones compliant with this one. Now I use stock rom with a little debloat on my side for apps like facebook or netflix
ArrowOS with MicroG on Poco F3
Not familiar with it, but it looks nice. Does location work? And if so, what providers are you using?
I was using Arrow OS Android 13 until 2 weeks and then my bank decided that even though i wasnt rooted and just unlocked bootloader my phone is a security risk and i couldnt access the app so ive had to go back to MIUI for now. I actually noticed on the custom rom that it only ran on V12.5 firmware when Miui is on V14 firmware which I think added APTX Adaptive and other things. So im really on the fence about ever sticking a custom rom on this Poco F3 again

You can normally update the firmware independently (or just flash stock then go back to custom after) as long as the custom ROM doesn't replace it. See: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
Havoc on LG G6 (Android 11 + Microg)
Works well but will be pretty much the end of the device
I miss custom ROMs. I haven't messed with them since 4.4 KitKat.
Back in the days of CyanogenMod!
Evolution X
LineageOS for MicroG on a Oneplus 8 5g UW. It runs pretty smooth on this phone. Use to have a few minor bugs that got fixed eventually.
I really wish Verizon didn't abandon this phone, I'm stuck on Android 11 while all other OP8 models were updated to Android 12 and then 13 last year. Owners of this phone were supposed to get two years of updates and three years of security patches and we barely got a full year. The hardware is still more than enough for my needs so I can't justify an upgrade.
Grapheneos for years now
I have Arrow OS A12L on my Cepheus, been quite good so far.
First I tried iode but after a short trip to Ubuntu Mobile I decided to try Calyx. Runs fine on my Fairphone
phone and ROM twinsies!
Honor 10 with some old rooted Lineage Android 8.1 without gapps, wife has Xiaomi Mix 2s running some old Xiaomi.eu I think Android 9 with gapps (plus she has company S20 FE with official ROM), actually upgrading to new phone would bring pretty much zero benefits to my daily life besides having better camera
couldn't be bothered to upgrade to newer one, it's available for wife's one, but there is no point, if it wouldn't improve her life at all, as for me I would need to go to EMUI to have slightly newer Android but I will rather have clean Android, anyway looking for years for replacement compact phone with decent camera (4a seemed great but asymetrical punch hole and crap battery and all other pixels had either this problem or they are too big already, zenfones unreliable hardware without software support), currently Xiaomi 12 seems like best option for 400EUR
I use EvolutionX on my Xiaomi Poco F3 (Alioth), and it's the best custom ROM I have ever used features-wise and stability-wise.
You're not the first person to mention EvolutionX. What makes it so good?
I've been using CrDroid on my Poco F2 Pro (LMI) for a long time now , have also dabbled with Elixir , Nusantara and a few others which was fun, I love custom roms and tinkering plus MIUI sucks badly.
Also the mire I tinker the deeper I go, I made my first magisk module this year , git pretty good at debugging and root files etc , plus I can restore my phone pretty fast now (I brick it every now and then lol)
This year I also got into battery replacement , I switched out my battery and my camera module, and switched out a samsung s9 plus battery, was pretty fun.
I don't know anything about Magisk, but I really should learn. Replaceable batteries, or a battery that I can replace without totally destroying the phone, is a requirement for any phone I get.
Oh they aren't replaceable easily , I bought all the required tools and pried the phone open in order to replace them.

Unofficial crDroid with Poco X2. No real issues, although I haven't been able to get SBC-XQ working which it supposedly supports.
I'm running Evolution X on my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and have been for the past 3 years or so. The main maintainer uses this phone so it has always been pretty polished and feature rich.
