I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?
Update: Switched to GrapheneOS, no regrets :)
From want I’ve seen and read, you need the carrier specific apps and settings baked into the os.
Dang, I have /e/os and can make WiFi calls and never downloaded any carrier apps. Maybe it’s specific to the carrier.
What carrier? Maybe something has changed.
