Yea, among other things, I'm not going through the process of migration just to prove a point. Too much work for uncertain returns, and on top of that I'll end up hating my phone. Why'd I do that?

I'm running a Google Pixel + a popular open source android ROM. No Google.

When will I change my phone? When my Pixel dies and I buy another pixel to install an open source android ROM without Google.

Is it even usable my dude? The phone oses all seem like "Linux desktop" maturity of 2 decades ago.

Would my bank app work? Can I use it for navigation?

I run Calyx and everything works for me except for Google pay. Google's device validation is required for that, and since Google can't separate the spying from security it's a no go.

My bank and Google maps works even. In fact you can download any app from Google Play itself via Aurora store.
