my room-temperature take is that you don't need a custom ROM to do this the same end result can be accomplished on stock android with an on-device "account vault" style app using a common API to communicate with other apps that support that SSO schema, no system access or custom ROM required
Scooty
Happy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:

ATProto User Intents Demo
This is a demo tool which allows atproto accounts to configure a reuse declaration for their public data. You can read more about this atproo mechanism in the "User Intents for Data Reuse" proposal from March 2025. Any account in the atproto network (including Bluesky accounts) can use this tool via OAuth. The source code for this demo is linked above.

I think there might be a need for a javascript library that implements the atproto repo minus the DID authentication and minus the PDS. Use case: being able to start a local-first app offline and cold without login and start creating records, then saturate with identity to sign+sync when online.
I thought we needed a custom ROM to see the benefits of an Atmosphere OS, but @astrra.space showed me how we could accomplish the same with stock Android
