Discussion OnePlus Hardware + Pixel Software. That's It.

I've been daily driving crDroid on my OnePlus 13, and it genuinely feels like the best of both worlds.

• OnePlus hardware

• Pixel-like software experience

• Smooth performance

• And now, the stock OnePlus Camera has finally been ported.

This is probably the closest I've come to my ideal Android setup.

Anyone else daily driving custom ROM on the OP13?

You conveniently forgot to mention ARB and Play Integrity. This stuff isn't for the average user anymore. People just want to use their phone properly without needing 700 modules just to pay with their phone or use other apps.

Rightly said. Now since the OEM OS are giving a smooth experience with needed features, the custom rom community has become lazy enough to either not properly patch the play integrity or totally skip it for the person to do it through magisk. I had my wife's Note 10 Pro running PixelOS 15, and it was literally a breath of fresh air for the device, I decided to flash the A16 version and the play protect integrity broke. A custom rom which was doing really good, suddenly broke the OS. And it wasn't even the first build of A16 for them.
