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?

Running Pixel Experience with Android 13 on my Xiaomi Redmi note 10 pro. Very smooth sailing.

Yo same. It's pretty great. Hated the process of installing it though. Having to wait like two weeks before you are allowed to use that shady as shit proprietary windows-only program with terrible localization and idiotic error messages was... rough. Well worth it because the stock OS was a buggy, intrusive piece of shit. The logs of my pi-hole were full of blocked DNS requests made by my phone during those 2 weeks.

Hah, yea. I had to go through the process of installing windows in a Virtual Machine and passing the USB connection through(I'm a Linux user). Was kind of a hassle but ended up working okay(was worried about bricking it).

But dang: Monthly security updates and a much better and faster UI.
