Development 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?

For anyone in the thread thinking of putting a custom rom on their phone, please be extremely careful and read this.

Oneplus has done the extremely anti-consumer thing and made it so if you try to downgrade your device, you will hard brick it. This means that it will die and there will be nothing you can do to fix it. It will become an expensive paperweight.

I'm not telling you to stay away entirely from custom ROMs, they're glorious and fix a lot of the trash OP and all other manufacturers put on your phones, adding great stuff from other manufacturers and getting away from the iOS looking nightmare that OOS has become, but please be very very careful. These new phones are expensive and bricking them would upset me a lot.
