I have been convinced to switch from apple, and i am soon purchasing a pixel 7 pro. I would then like to put a custom rom on it because i would:

  1. like to use foss more
  2. like to maintain better privacy than apple offers
  3. would enjoy the control over the system
  4. not like to ever touch google chrome

There are some limitations to what i can choose though, as i need the following to work:

  1. google apps like sheets/docs/classroom/youtube
  2. banking app (usaa specifically)
  3. play store (could be replaced)

Additionally i would like to keep the flashy camera stuff google talks about with the camera as i use the camera a fair bit. I have also heard that androids can have different UIs, so i would appreciate a nice looking one (i use gnome on my desktop for this reason alone). What ROMs would you guys recommend i choose?

Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. It’s understandable why that’s the case though.

This is exactly my dilemma. I'm trying to completely degoogle, but not having android-auto kinda screws me with my cars current audio unit.

Tap to pay too. I was on Graphene and I tried to set up GPay, which is the point I realized Graphene couldn't do that (something something Google security services not compatible something something)

I would not be able to get by without that feature, it's pretty much the only way I pay in-store now.

Yup. Basically immediately reflashed back to stock when I figured that out.
