I personally have been using lineage os for some time now and I am curious how many others use F-droid and lineage os like I do
Another one for LinageOS with fdroid on an older oneplus
CalyxOS (MicroG) on the phone and crDroid (No MicroG or Gaaps) on the Tablet
my banking app works on the phone and Aurora Store helps to get Google Play apps if needed
Is mobile banking that popular of a thing? Couldn’t you just go to the bank? Or for that matter you could just use the website
If the app wouldn’t work I would probably test other means like it’s mobile website but if it works, why not? I’m using a direct bank though which doesn’t have branches anywhere in my country while ATMs typically only allow withdrawing from my account
Apps are vehicles for persistent trackers on your device, whereas with a mobile browser you have more freedom to install an ad/tracking blocker. Also, if no one uses the mobile website anymore, the bank will likely shut it down eventually (there are several “fintech” banks that don’t have a usable website already. In this way, apps may lock you into the Android/iOS duality.
Running GrapheneOS and it is very stable and reliable.
“Downgrading” from a Samsung S22 Ultra 128gb to Pixel 7a, planning to run Graphene on it.
I use LineageOS for years now, it works great but I should finally redo my install with Magisk and MicroG, some things that depend on root permissions and Google services would be kind of nice even tho I don’t really need them. Still, once you got used to a custom ROM phones without one seem fucking unusable, all that bloat and shit is just plain terrible!
