Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

I have tried it. Pixel 6a.

My banking app works. That's good.

RCS messages don't. Could live without that.

Merlin bird ID doesn't. Pain point all right, but I'll live.

My Galaxy Watch doesn't. Probably not GrapheneOS' fault, and I should buy a better watch, but that will only happen when this one dies.

Now I use a pixel 7a with stock ROM. Everything works, and if I get sick of it, I can get back to GrapheneOS and it's quirks..
