I have been convinced to switch from apple, and i am soon purchasing a pixel 7 pro. I would then like to put a custom rom on it because i would:
like to use foss more
like to maintain better privacy than apple offers
would enjoy the control over the system
not like to ever touch google chrome
There are some limitations to what i can choose though, as i need the following to work:
google apps like sheets/docs/classroom/youtube
banking app (usaa specifically)
play store (could be replaced)
Additionally i would like to keep the flashy camera stuff google talks about with the camera as i use the camera a fair bit. I have also heard that androids can have different UIs, so i would appreciate a nice looking one (i use gnome on my desktop for this reason alone). What ROMs would you guys recommend i choose?
I mean, I'm always gonna recommend GrapheneOS. With sandboxed Google Play Services available in a work profile using Island, I've not yet found an app I can't run.
Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. Itβs understandable why thatβs the case though.
Tap to pay too. I was on Graphene and I tried to set up GPay, which is the point I realized Graphene couldn't do that (something something Google security services not compatible something something)
