Ironically, Google Pixels have the best privacy-respecting custom ROM support

Seconding Calyx, graphene can be a bit of a pain in the ass but both are good

https://youtu.be/heVNcdq2MKA here’s a good rundown

tl;dw: Calyx has more features, runs faster, and is easier to use in general, and for fairly small security drawbacks that you can opt out of, it gives you hugely more usability

I don’t believe either support it - you should aim for a phone with official support, and only Pixels are supported by Calyx and Graphene

Imo Graphene is better, but Calyx might be a little more approachable. Both are good though!

The guides after this page should explain it better than I could - you basically have to just be able to get into the settings, so you have to go through any Google Android prompts before you can
