At this point I'm not even picky about which custom ROM I run.
What I'm looking for is a phone that has a very small form factor and there's any custom ROM that officially supports it.

Ideally, with a 3-4" screen
Must be <5"
Must be officially supported. (for unsupported builds, I know of a few options already)

Are there any? Thanks for any suggestions or help!

definitely recommend the xz1 compact, running lineage os 20 on it and very happy with it!

just need to make sure to update the stock firmware to android 9 before flashing the ROM otherwise there will be a lot of issues!

Have you had any issues with crashing modems on your cellular provider? I'm curious if my issue (works OK for a few days after flashing Lineage over stock, then the cell modem totally dies and the wifi crashes every minute or so) is limited to Google Fi. Sadly Fi's international data is really valuable for me so I can't switch to another MVNO, but it would be nice to know if I have the option.

after installing lineage os properly (i.e. from android 9 not 8) i haven't had any issues with my modem. might just be a google fi problem which is a shame 😔

Thanks! I'm also trying a new Fi SIM, mine is pretty old and I know that older SIM cards can cause issues sometimes. So far so good!
