I was big into custom ROMs back when CyanogenMod was the state of the art.
Unfortunately these days my banking app and my work mail app don’t work on custom ROMs, so I’m stuck with whatever the manufacturer provides me.
TBF, the device isn’t out yet, so I’d think making a custom ROM would be premature. Your other comment makes me think twice about buying Oneplus again, though.
I got a lot of mileage out of my OP6, so perhaps the last model to receive a custom ROM would serve me fine for a couple of years.
The last 3 generations of OnePlus phones do not have custom ROM support AFAIK. They either refuse to unlock the bootloader or do not provide the tool to unbrick the phone anymore, making testing custom ROMs impossible
I know that LineageOS devs were complaining about OP not giving them the unbrick tool anymore, without which they can’t test their ROM. I don’t know if anything has changed since then
No custom ROM support == no buy from me

I’ve been using custom roms since I was 13/14.
But the allure or a phone that can fit in my hand easily?
But at the same time ugh the knowing that you can’t get it because the stock experience is a hell.

It’s oneplus so there’ll probably be custom ROM support, it’s also snapdragon so most likelt

Oh man there goes my previous comment. such a shame I like my Asus but the they have already dropped the updates for it.
Guess I will have to keep looking then.
That’s sad to hear, ROM support used to be great on OP
OP12 can run custom ROM. I’ve tried YAAP, but there was a couple oddities, so back on stock. ETA bootloader unlock was as simple as fastboot commands.
