What's your opinion on custom Android firmwares, /g/?
For me, they're necessary for keeping an old phone fresh.
They sould make a gentoo rom.

Yeah, fuck that.
Running viperonem9 right now, only issue so far is that incoming calls make everything freeze for 5 seconds before the actual call screen shows up.
CyanogenMod is the only custom rom i use, i not trust 12 year old hacker kidz.

It's the only way to deal with bloatware. I got a cheap prepaid on amazon to be able to do testing for my job. It came with a whopping 2GB of internal storage and since I can't just offload everything to the external SD, I'm left with 200 MB to play around with after all the updates are installed.

No?
Install or write your own app that uses "Device Administrator". Anything above 4.4 can disable apps.
Yeah if you have free space issues, that ain't gonna help. But then again, even 16GB phones are small as shit.

I use cyanogenmod on my old HTC one xl. It got abandoned a couple months after it released, and was superseded for the HTC one m8. Even though it's abandoned, I'm running android 5.1.1.
I would say custom ROMs are a must. Don't depend on a corporation to give a fuck about their products once they have their money.

if they would work.
but even nightly CMs are buggy as fuck.
the only device I know they work on is the OnePlus One.
even Nexus users report they have weird bugs with CM all the time.
