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?

I'm using a Google Pixel and for awhile I was using stock, mostly just because after having custom roms on my previous devices I didn't want to have to deal with trying to get apps to work, I was building my unofficial lineage to get some tweaks I wanted. However I'm back to using Lineage again.

Running /e/ OS on a 1+ 7 Pro

Yep, still running LineageOS rooted and with microG (not LOS for microG though)
There are multiple reasons why I'm still doing it, like better privacy and fixing the Quick Access menu in Android 13 I couldn't do without.
I have stopped ROM hopping though compared to a few years ago. I just have to hope the Lineage team continues to do the amazing job they've been doing since Cyanogen died.

Depends, is OxygenOS considered custom? I'm running a rooted and largely (manually) degoogled stock version.

crDroid (android 13), no Google anything, no microG, works fine. I have a 6 year old phone and this is the only way to run current software. ran lineageOS 18 before this, nuked it when charging was acting out; wasn't its fault.
