I wish I could degoogle my android phone. Sadly, it would mean many of the apps I use would stop working..

As far as I understand, only F-droid apps would work on e.g. GrapheneOS - is this wrong? I believe there would be issues with

  • Local chatting app
  • Local map app (As good as OrganicMaps is, it seems to have limited support in route finding)
  • Local banking app
  • Local investing app
  • Apps for university affairs
  • Zoom

I feel so sad that I am locked to the platform..

EDIT: Just checked, seems like everything is reported to work except for local banking app. Sadly, it is too convenient to ditch..

How do people feel about e/OS? I just started playing around with it on an old phone and it seems to work with most apps, including banking and Google apps (their store has an optional Google login).

Depends what your reason for using it is I suppose. pricyguides.org only recommends GrapheneOS as an alternative for privacy and security reasons, but it requires a Pixel device unfortunately.
