I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?

Update: Switched to GrapheneOS, no regrets :)

I had to stop running custom roms a few years ago since I need wifi calling. I hate the bloat but where I live now doesn't have cell service.

Does WiFi calling not work on Grapheneos?

From want I've seen and read, you need the carrier specific apps and settings baked into the os.

Dang, I have /e/os and can make WiFi calls and never downloaded any carrier apps. Maybe it's specific to the carrier.

What carrier? Maybe something has changed.
