Ok, i wasn't specific enough, that's on me. My previous phone was a Xiaomi. Part of the reason they're cheaper than competitors with similar hardware is because that thing is filled to the brim with useless ads, extra tracking way beyond just crash analytics for the manufacturer and the regular google stuff and even some useless "phone booster" app embedded in the settings. After waiting the two weeks so Xiaomi would allow me to unlock the bootloader (which is bullshit, by the way), i installed LineageOS. The problem is that the regular updates with security patches sometimes would cause a boot loop. Some times is something as simple as a system file becoming read only, sometimes no thread on XDA developers could guide me to the right solution, and then i just do a factory reset and start over. But aside from flashing lineage and an ad blocker, my usage is the same as anyone else: answer calls, use messaging apps, browse the web, play games and edit some documents when i'm far away from my PC. My current phone is a motorola, though, and while i think the official ROM is pretty disappointing (too many pop ups nagging me to sign up to motorola or check motorola apps), as long as i can flash magisk and an ad blocker, i'm a happy person.
