Question Custom ROMs for the 6a besides graphene?

[The Bearodactyl]

I'd like to install a custom ROM on my 6a, and graphene didn't satisfy me, so I'd like to know if anyone's found any others that i could try out lol

Calyx is out, but its kinda simmilar. Lineage 20 will hopefully come next year, which is the one I'm looking forward to

I'm looking at Calyx, and it seems like it would actually work. Graphene didn't work for me because all of the apps it came with were out of date and didn't work right, but given the fact that Calyx uses well known privacy focused apps, it looks like I'll be good to go once they've come out with their Android 13 update lol

Been running Graphene on mine since it dropped. Only issue I've had is some of my games don't play well with it. Software, am I right? /shrug

First of all, they're not out of date. They're the latest from AOSP. Oh, and they DO work right.
Second, if you don't like, that's what makes Android great -- install alternative applications, I suggest from F-droid.

Please don't write things that are demonstrably false. The truth is inverse of what you have written.

To be fair, the graphene apps have a popup that tells you its apps are not meant for your current version of android. Also they're in my opinion painful to look at because they don't comply to the system theme

When I checked the version of the apps, it said updated as of 2021

So you're saying that the tor browser isn't known for its privacy? I HIGHLY doubt that

Exactly! Finally, someone didn't act like i didn't try it before i said i didn't like it lol

Oh look, another stupid telegram roadblock. I don't know why I try anymore. Stock is just fine anyway

Why does xda love insecure shady crap?

Just run Stock, you are better off, if you need to optimise just root and debloat, much better alternative to Graphene os or Calyx IMO. if you don't want to root debloat using adb. Best of luck

I thought they cant support 13, due to changes in software and its not possible, correct me if im wrong ( which i prob am ) i remember reading that somewhere dunno where. eh

Id be surprised iif that were the case. Android has changed, but twrp usuallly adapts sooner or later

This thread is custom roms for the 6a. I just posted what i found. didnt mean to upset anyone by mentioning telegram or an actual custom rom. some people like custom roms, like me.

More to the point, custom recovery is pointless when you have fastboot.
