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.

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?

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.

Yes, Google Services is a no-go for me unless it was sandboxed, which I understand is how GrapheneOS handles it.

Lineage OS on my pixel 5. I'm looking to set up my environment so I can build and sign my ROM that way I can lock the bootloader.

Have you ever built one before? I've looked into it and it's not a trivial thing.

I miss custom ROMs. I haven't messed with them since 4.4 KitKat.

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
