Since we don’t yet have a specific community for custom phone ROMs, let’s discuss them here. Are you running a custom ROM? Which one? On what hardware? How is it?

May I ask why googleless is efficient? I tried it once and it was quite uncomfortable, no gmail, no youtube, no photos. All of them needs google services to operate, no? Simply not use them?
Yeah I switched from 99 % of Google services (the 1 % is google services used by my school etc. and youtube, for which I use NewPipe), however Google services should not be required for the likes of gmail or youtube, google services might be required for some games (google play games dependencies) or to receive certain push notifications (firebase notification service or something like that). When I used lineageos with MicroG (opensource Google Services replacement), my phone had longer battery life, but that might have been a coincidence.
It’s about privacy. There are alternatives for most of those things. Some of them are not very good, so it’s a trade off.
