Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens
____@infosec.pub 5 weeks agoThere really is a dearth of choices. I’ve little love for Google’s version of android, mostly for privacy reasons.
If I could get a decent phone that ran at reasonable speed for a tolerable price, without the tracking, I’d be willing to give it a go - and endure more than a few pain points.

Getting an “a” series pixel for a few hundred and going grapheneOS seems like a good option, no?

I have tried it. Pixel 6a.
My banking app works. That’s good.
RCS messages don’t. Could live without that.
Merlin bird ID doesn’t. Pain point all right, but I’ll live.
My Galaxy Watch doesn’t. Probably not GrapheneOS’ fault, and I should buy a better watch, but that will only happen when this one dies.
Now I use a pixel 7a with stock ROM. Everything works, and if I get sick of it, I can get back to GrapheneOS and it’s quirks…
