Simple question really! Are any of you running a Custom ROM? Furthermore, are any of you running a De-Googled ROM?

Why do you run your custom ROM, and what are the drawbacks?

    Been using LineageOS with microG on my phone for the last couple of years out of a general distrust for Google, using open-source apps in place of the Google ones. My phone stopped getting OEM updates after Android 12, so being able to use Android 13 through LineageOS is a plus. Main downsides are that some apps don’t play nice with microG and that unlocking the bootloader makes banking apps stop working.

      I’ve had rooted/rommed phones for years, and I’ve never had an issue with bank apps working. Wells Fargo, Chase, and US Bank all work for me.
