I’m running it. Bank apps and Safety net things (like Pokemon Go) all work. Aside from Android Auto, Google Pay refuses to work.

So, there’s no downsides.

Actually, Google Translate didn’t play ball when I tried it. I miss that one.

I really like Android Auto so I’ll probably wait until they at least get that working to change. I wonder if Samsung Pay works on there…

I would guess that Samsung pay relies on Knox, which gets disabled by blowing an e-fuse, when you run a custom os. But maybe I’m wrong.

ah, that’s a shame. I’m heavily relying on google pay (also BLIK, but I’m usingboth polish and Ukrainian cards, and blik is a poland-only thingy) since i only have virtual credit cards right now. having everything (bank cards, govt ids etcs) on my phone is just too convinient to give up like that

I was concerned with this myself and planned to just add a physical card under my phone case, but I was suprised how little difference using the card normally made.

And if you care about privacy, you probably shouldn’t make your purchases using a google app.

That’s the vibe I got from it. It took longer to activate the app than it took to get a card out of my wallet. It had the potential to fail if my battery was flat. Google could track my shopping habits.

So, that’s a pass.
