Are you guys tired of the "Material You" design? I don't really like the huge paddings on everything aspect of it. Also a lot of it feels too flat. What do you guys think?

I think it's nice as long as you have a custom ROM with root to tweak it. It's UNUSABLE on its default state.

But I still miss Holo and its mystique so much, it was perfect on small screens and needed some tweaking to be a mature, elegant, unique and expressive UI design language.

What changes do custom roms let you make?

True black background for OLED displays, AOSP Mods suite for 3 columns on quick settings, split WiFi/Data toggles, better scaling options for launchers, Lineage trebuchet launcher and derivatives, isolate apps like Google Calculator and Gboard off networking, theme engine tweaks for better generated colors and more.

Pretty much anything you can think about (even bringing back old QS or power menu). And if this isn't enough rooting enables you to make even bigger changes with apps such as Iconify or Substratum
