I assume virtually everyone in this place is using some third party ROM. Many of you probably rocking Banana ROM off your Alcatel z657 bought at Boost Mobile in 2012.

But is there any simpleton here like myself who is on stock android? You know, the middle age dude who has "Privacy" as a hobby because he can't afford or have time for a real one. πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

I'm stock Pixel 7. At a certain point jailbraking / rom switching just started being more work than it was worth to me

    Funnily enough, I'm on a stock Pixel 6. I flashed custom firmware onto my Pixel 2XL back in the day, and the gain wasn't super worth it. My phone before that, some Motorola brand, I flashed custom firmware onto and it helped a lot with features I wanted and bloatware removal. But, let be real, save being in the Google ecosphere, the Pixel is as stripped down baseline as a phone gets. And since my job is all-in on the Google apps, I have to be in that space anyway. At some stage, it just doesn't feel like there's much of a point.
