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?
Unfortunately none. I have an S10e with a locked bootloader. This is the first android phone I’ve owned that I hadn’t used a custom ROM on. The last Samsung phone I owned was an S4 and I hadn’t kept up with the custom ROM scene, so I hadn’t known the locked bootloader nonsense when I got the S10e.
It sucks because there are no note security updates for the phone even though the hardware is still in good condition. I can’t justify replacing a working phone even if I could afford a new one. I’m hoping eventually a vulnerability will be uncovered that allows unlocking the bootloader. There was one a few years ago I think, but it got patched before I even knew about it.

IodeOS on FairPhone 4.
I’m only running FOSS application on it.
Lineage OS on my pixel 5. I’m looking to set up my environment so I can build and sign my ROM that way I can lock the bootloader.
Have you ever built one before? I’ve looked into it and it’s not a trivial thing.
and now you have me starting a build… I was going to play games tonight so thanks!
I’m sorry & you’re welcome?
Yes
Grapheneos for years now
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6. Works great! I’ve had to override the custom memory allocator one or two times for banking apps, but that’s just flipping a switch in the app info.
None sadly because fuck samsung
I hate how they blow fuses to permanently disable security features when the bootloader is unlocked.
Locked bootloaders should be illegal if the phone is paid off.
Absolutely agree, and I refuse to buy Samsung phones because of this.
