@viv @alyx my first was the very popular (and thus well-tested/supported) Motorola Droid 1, which stopped being supported at 2.2, but I used a 2.3 ROM called "Bugless Beast" (in name only, for it was neither) and later Cyanogen, until it finally hardware-died.

For later phones, I stuck to Cyanogen since it was generally better-supported and more reliably updated than random xda forum projects. But Cyanogen's gone now, isn't it? :( Thankfully OP3 official Nougat image has been fine for me so far
