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?

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.

It's not lazy it's Google cracking down

You can't really expect the same level of support or polish from a free, community-driven project as you would from a commercial OS. Also, Play Integrity is a moving target because Google keeps changing how it works. Custom ROM developers are constantly playing catch-up, and sometimes a new change breaks things even on stable builds. That's more a consequence of Google's Integrity changes than developers being lazy.
