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.
yeah, one of the main reasons i'm not using a custom ROM either. On Samsung phones it trips knox, and then pretty much all banking/financial apps will stop working.
Also, there doesn't seem to be much need for them any longer.
I used to run HTC phones and the custom ROM scene was LEGIT. Now I'm in the same boat as you - stock Samsung, but I removed as many bullshit stock apps as I could with ADB.
I miss CM and simple boot unlocking.
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.
