I installed custom ROMs on my Samsung and Oneplus devices in the past to improve performance. The hardware was more than capable but only custom ROMs were optimised enough to run smoothly. Doing the same to all the Xiaomi devices in my family too.

Used to do that with every phone I had, especially the Xiaomis due to them sending lots of tracking with the default install.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the first phone I feel doesn't need a custom ROM. It has some annoiying things such as Facebook or Chrome preinstalled, but those were either uninstalled or hidden quite fast.

Let's see how long this will get updates though...
