List of popular Android Custom ROMs
List of popular Android Custom ROMs
Here is an incomplete list of aftermarket distributions, also known as custom firmware or custom ROM of the original Android operating system by Google.
Incomplete list of aftermarket custom roms.
What a terrible list...
I am sorry but this list is... not-good. Includes problematic ROMs (Copperhead OS), dead projects (AOKP), and OEM closed-source ROMs (MIUI)
To anyone out there, my personal recommendation would be: if you own a Google Pixel, go for GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, if you do not have a Pixel phone, try LineageOS and derivates (I am personally running crDroid with microG instead of gapps)
I would also recommend DivestOS, soft fork of LineageOS that aims to increase security & privacy and can be installed on a lot of older devices.
Not bad, in my head it was included when i mentioned "LOS derivates". but yeah. def a good choice.
For what its worth, I use GrapheneOS. Aside from some small issues with banking apps and a few odd quirks, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.
Yeah. Graphene is fantastic. I had forgotten how blazing fast interface and long battery life felt like before I switched.
I'm currently on Lineage on a Pixel 7, I'm tempted to give Graphene a go though.
As I had issues with one banking app on Lineage, I expect I'll have problems with that one and possibly more if I make the change
A lot more apps are becoming reliant on google stuff.
Yeah, the issue with banking isn't the OS / ROM per se but Google's trust model. I'd have to dig up the specifics but basically banks are hit and miss with any degoogled solution.
Yeah, I've just flashed it yesterday. It's amazing. You can keep most Pixel smarts while yeeting all the ad and tracking stuff. All my apps are working perfectly too unlike microG.
