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?
Since no one seems to be saying so, I’ll chime in in support of GrapheneOS. /s
I’m kidding. But really, I’m replying to you from Graphene on a Pixel. It’s terrific.
I appreciate the privacy design. That’s why I switched. I spend a lot less tone wondering if big brother is watching me through my phone, now.
But the speed is what made me a huge fan. GrapheneOS is so fast. I’ve had $1000 phones that aren’t as responsive as my $300 Graphene phone.
