GrapheneOS.
Or maybe try looking at battery usage. Android is a piece of shit, including the apps included in it. Maybe an update changed the way one of them worked.
I think I’ll need stock Android due to those two factor authentication apps for banking, which are not allowing to be ran on custom or rooted phones.
I really loved Cyanogen tho …
A lof of banking apps do work on grapheneOS: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/
My battery life has been soo much better since Google Play can’t do whatever it fucking wants anymore.
Some work, some are more of a pain in the ass (2fa for every single interaction even with biometrics enabled), and some don’t work. You lose anything that relies on Google pay, so no public transit passes or anything like that, no tap to pay, etc. I put up with a google-free phone, but many aren’t willing or simply don’t have the same leeway I do.
And more to the point, the main graphene guy has unaddressed mental health issues and refuses to seek treatment (he appears to believe the problem is everyone else), and I genuinely don’t feel comfortable with that one man show controlling my phone. Is google evil? Yes. Unstable? Not really, they are evil in generally predictable ways. I do actually hope he seeks help because nobody should live the way he does, but last I heard from earlier this year he’s still up to his same old behaviors.
