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?

Which device are you using with DivestOS?

I am using all of the DivestOS applications on my CrDroid. I am thinking to switch on my Poco F3 but I am skeptical due to removal of many blobs.

A OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm. Since I'm not dependent on Play Services or anything of the sort, it was my best bet short of replacing it with a Pixel.

I'm running it on a Poco F3, and in general I've found DivestOS to be more stable than crDroid. Also, it makes it easier that it comes with a system webview replacement built in.

Edit: I haven't tried locking the bootloader, mind you, but that doesn't really interest me so much.

As I read on the documentation, relocking the bootloader seems broken on Poco F3.

Okay, thank you for the info, you tempt me more to install DivestOS on Poco F3 hahah. Have you tried any wireless earpods if they work flawless and with the same sound quality? i have read the code from the blobs that they have been removed and I noticed that they have remove many of them related on wireless soundspeakers.

Haven't had any issues with any bluetooth devices. Headphones, speaker, car, all work as normal.
