- You can change the default app icons easily. The Accrescent store that can be downloaded from the gOS store even have some icon packs that are FOSS.
- You can download the Pixel Camera from the App Store. I would keep it without Network access and remove the meta data with ExitEraser depending of where I am posting those pictures.
- Battery seems the same but you won't have access to Adaptive Charging (when your phone is plugged in it tries to keep your phone without reaching 100% to improve battery life).
- You won't be able to tap cards with your phone unless your bank app provides it. Google Wallet doesn't and won't work.
- I wasn't able to get Android Auto to work at all.
- You will need to be used to apps not working properly and testing the compatibility modes, specially if they use the location services.

- that's interesting! I'm looking for a pack tbh
- Uh I dont like it but I want to try it first. What about Image Toolbox? https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.tech.imageresizershrinker/ it can remove Exit data and I like the app!
- Never heard of it but it's okay, not a big deal
- Im really disappointed to know my bank uses the cards from a brand but they don't have an app to pay without card
- I don't need Android auto, not a problem for me
- What do you mean? Do you have any example for popular-ish apps? I want to know more
