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?

    I used to run CyanogenMod/LineageOS on my older phones, but since my S8, I’ve been using stock ROMs. Honestly not even sure a custom ROM exists for the S21. I’d love to make the switch if it does, however I know Google Wallet (Google Pay at the time) had a huge issue with custom firmware/ROMs and I don’t imagine it’s gotten any better over the years.

        … stock Samsung, but I removed as many bullshit stock apps as I could with ADB.

        Yea, I did the same. I have no idea why Samsung decided to force certain apps on their phone with no ability to disable them, for example the calendar. I miss the old days when android wasn’t bundled with the manufacturer/carrier’s preinstalled apps that can’t be removed without having to jump through some hoops, however easy those hoops may be. It should just be as simple as clicking uninstall.
