What's wrong with AOSP? It's fully open source, supported by a huge amount of phones and has a snappy UI. The only other open source UI that has managed that so far is Sailfish OS.

Just dump all the proprietary Google add-ons and enjoy the F-Droid app store. You will have amazing battery life, less detractions, less ads and a lot more security and privacy.

I enjoyed this with CopperheadOS (the GrapheneOS predecessor) on a Nexus 5X until the project folded. Google stopped supporting the Nexus 5X with updates a few months later.
