Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens

I love running a custom ROM, but I’m concerned RCS is going to become a deal break for me :(
I love that text messaging will finally not be complete shit between iOS and Android, but RCS is such a shitty locked down protocol.

For what it’s worth, I have RCS working with GrapheneOS. I don’t think I did anything special, but it did take awhile. I did see stuff on their forum about others having a bigger issue with it, though.
And of course, I prefer Signal, where possible.

Interesting. Do you have Google services installed? I use MicroG, which afaik has no RCS support.

Yes, I have Google Plays Services, Google Services Framework, and the Google Play Store installed, which are all sandboxed. MicroG isn’t supported by GrapheneOS.

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that’s how GrapheneOS handles Google services. I’d love to have working NFC pay and RCS, so I’m going to have to take a look at it, thanks for sharing!
