If you are interested in modding your device, whether it's in the short or long term, Xiaomi devices are great choices. The cheap prices of their smartphones coupled with custom development-friendliness helps a lot. One of the best ROMs available for these phones (and pretty much any phone, while we're at it) is LineageOS. Everyone's taste in ROMs is different, but LineageOS strikes a nice balance between pure stock Android and other feature-rich distributions. It adds a lot of features, but keeps all the unnecessary/gimmicky stuff out of the door. The Lineage team recently launched LineageOS 16, the latest iteration of their custom software, which is based on the Android Pie release.

The Nextbit Robin, a crowdfunded project from hardware startup Nextbit, is a community-driven phone that was competitive in its price bracket. Nextbit was acquired by Razer last year and development on Robin came to a close in January, but that didn't stop the developer community at XDA from doing what it does best. Folks in the Nextbit Robin forums requested an application that'd make turn the LEDs on the back of the Robin into notification lights, and XDA Member Prospero.X-3 was able to whip up something that accomplishes just that: Nextlit.
