The two things that stopped me from using custom Android ROMs:

1. Discovered that emergency calls would crash the phone (during an emergency)

2. The LineageOS April Fools prank.

Presumably as an April Fools' joke, LineageOS added an undismissable notification informing users that, "You might be a victim of software counterfeiting"

Removing it requires updating to another build or rebooting into recovery and changing a setting using terminal via setprop .

instructions: Okay I finally managed to solve the LineageOS Settings"You might be a victim of counterfeiting" april fools joke. Here are the steps to how I solved it 1. Boot in to TWRP-recovery 2. Open Terminal under the advanced tap 3. Type the following "setprop persist.lineage.nofool true" in the terminal 4. Reboot the phone and voila :)

What a terrible idea...

3. You can't use trusted SIM services such as e-signature with custom ROMs. I have an e-signature embedded into the cryptographic module of my SIM card, and no custom ROM can use that, because they can't provide a secure pipe from SIM to antenna, and that's a deal breaker.

[phh]

Uh, that doesn't make sense to me. Could you provide some details? The point of SIM card is that there is no user-controlled software in the path between SIM card and antenna. So if the pipe from SIM to antenna was secure before custom ROM, it's still secure after it.
