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?
it's pretty easy and convenient currently. install magisk delta (for proper magisk hide support) and playintegrityfix and things should work no problem.
been using google wallet on lmodroid without issue. even have a module installed for unlimited google photos backups :)
