gonta,

Two things holding me back is my worry about some banking and payment apps not working and Google Maps because I’m a hypocrite and the timeline feature of Google Maps has helped me many times in the past.

smeg,

Last time I tried it I was surprised to find out that Google maps works fine without any play services installed!

gonta,

Nice! One less thing to worry about :D

That’s it. Google Maps with good precise location is the thing I most miss from my Pixel. But that’s a trade-offs… if you want to get the best GPS, you need to give some data back. I don’t like that… but well I miss it.

Wish it also included /e/OS, was considering a fair phone with that for my next phone.

Chastity2323,

/e/ is not degoogled. See the following comments from a divestos dev:

    I would personally ban/defed from Monero.town because it’s a scam-ass crypto instance.

    Every time I see a “guide” like this it’s always from a monero.town user. The last guy who was posting “reviews” was bitching about how he got stiffed paying for a game or something with crypto, and nobody had any sympathy because when you don’t pay with real money you don’t get the guarantee of a service rendered.

    carlytm,

    GrapheneOS has been basically flawless for me, most of the time I forget I’m even using a custom rom. Using the Aurora Store, along with a few select apps in a work profile with sandboxed Google Play services goes a long way in terms of plugging the usability gap. I know there’s supposed to be issues with banks, but at least in my anecdotal experience, I’ve used accounts from 3 different banks and haven’t had any issues.

    fung,

    I’ve been happy with Graphene on my Pixel 7. Only con is Google Wallet doesn’t work, but not a big deal for me personally. I also like that I can deny apps network access: I’ve been using Gboard without network access, which makes me feel a bit better in regards to privacy.
