I’m about to degoogle my stock Android phone. For the past few years, I’ve used it to handle the non-open source apps that I don’t want running on my main phone. As I’ve finally weaned off GApps, I realize that I might as well go degoogle the rom as well.
edit: to be clear, I’ll be using sandboxed Play services on GOS
But since that phone is my compatibility guinea pig, is it likely I’ll still run into an app that demands unmodded Android with no alternatives? In your experience, has any bank or other service required the app on regular Android, with no alternative for the desktop, browser, etc?
Authy 2fa doesn’t work on GOS because of Play Integrity. GOS has been talking with regulators in the EU about this.
An Amazon delivery locker doesn’t open without Sandboxed Google Play installed, I’ve switched to post office deliveries. I had to change my account user name to my actual name ( my name is extremely common so no big deal really) but at least I don’t have Amazon’s shit app installed anymore.
Google Pay doesn’t work.
Android Auto is hit and miss.

Isn’t it just a barcode or a code you type in?
Neat, that shows you how often I use them! I’d be very surprised if there was no backup code option though, not everyone has a smartphone.
