Do you run a Custom ROM?

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?

Sadly not anymore because I need my banking apps to work reliably. Making them work isn't the biggest problem, but I'll never know when an update blindsides me and breaks something.

On a sidenote, I'd really like to know why banks think that an ancient phone that hasn't seen a security update in years is somehow more secure than an up-to-date Lineage or GrapheneOS.

Eh, banks don't want to piss off their customers over something they have less control over.

However I do know that my bank does keep Android version updates in mind. The app won't work on anything less than Android 10, which is about 4 years old. So no working on any kind of ancient phone.
