  • an app that require a device integrity in a rom with gapps, just run from beginning in eos (although eos only passed basic integrity, interesting)
  • a ride hailing app that iirc use google maps, now use (openstreet?) map but the app use an amoled dark theme map (black). in another app, they use light theme map
  • not all paid apps works, even with the usual workaround of repurchase and cancel

  I’ve eOS on several of my devices: my bank on works on but I had to close my revolut account because their app requires google safetynet.

    Not quite, it requires Play integrity.

    Safteynet seems to mostly work.

  eOS is just Android, so Android apps work.

  That aside, eOS has a history of being often behind on security patches and updates, so it is highly recommend to avoid it.

    Are there any other Android based OS that are neither Google nor flawed?

    That also depends a lot. Often (e.g. on Fairphone) the stock ROM may lag behind way worse than e/OS.

    So if a user has reasons to avoid a Pixel, or just wants to improve their privacy without replacing their device, e/OS may be a marked improvement even on security.
