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?

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

      May I ask why googleless is efficient? I tried it once and it was quite uncomfortable, no gmail, no youtube, no photos. All of them needs google services to operate, no? Simply not use them?

        Yeah I switched from 99 % of Google services (the 1 % is google services used by my school etc. and youtube, for which I use NewPipe), however Google services should not be required for the likes of gmail or youtube, google services might be required for some games (google play games dependencies) or to receive certain push notifications (firebase notification service or something like that)
