        Google fucks with everyone, now more than ever with this “recommended” (forced) play integrity. Look at the recent ban from Uber, Authy (thank god I switched a few days ago) and some other apps

        I was curious why Hauwei and not LineageOS, GrapheneOS, Calyx, etc

          tbh recently I just don’t have time to futs with roms.

          Ive used lineage for many years. And would love to use it permanently but banking apps is a problem for me and having to hack things too much is a problem for me.
          Obviously some linux mobile distro would have been ideal. but There isn’t anything usable.

          calyx/graphene - the model selection is just too limited. And I would never buy a google or apple device.
          lineage os doesn’t support oneplus 12R I use now (well there is unofficial rom).

          so I would like to try huawei, the hope is - it’s like android but naturally without google because its designed like that.
