A nice-looking LineageOS alternative https://droidontime.com/

You can check HavocOS or Resurrection Remix too, most customizable ROMs around

Sadly Google’s SafetyNet check prevents key apps like Gpay, Banking, Netflix from functioning correctly. There are some workarounds but they’re unreliable at best. 😞

yep, Google is getting strict around these things these days, more to come, have tried a lot of ROMs and Kernels in past, doesn't feel like worth doing it anymore 😄 , unless your phone has stopped receiving further Android updates

Earlier we used to flash custom ROMs for latest android and more features, now it is just to get rid of spyware and ads. 😬

Reminds of the good ol' days of CyanogenMod. My phone would be unreachable most of the time and my mom suspected that I had a girlfriend who I was secretly talking to. Little did she know that half of the time my phone would be in recovery mode flashing new updates or custom ROMs 😂

CyanogenMod was GOAT 🚀

CyanogenMod reminds me of CyanogenMod Theme Engine, not sure how many themes I had tried 😂

Anyone remember that old CRT TV screen lock effect? 😄

yeah

Viper sound mod 🤣
