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?

VoidUI (not de googled) because:

  1. the main reason is so I can keep using my phone beyond the official SW support period, I would be stuck on A10 if I stayed with stock
  2. The phone started to feel a little bit slow after 2 years
  3. Unlocked some of the performance that was left on the table with more to be unlocked!
  4. No bloatware

The drawbacks:

  1. The camera experience is orders of magnitude worse
  2. Goodbye iris scanner :'(
  3. Goodbye S-Pen features
  4. Goodbye Samsung notes
  5. Goodbye to the much better split screen and floating window implementation
