Comment on I genuinely can't wait for Mobile Linux to become a thing

  The complaints I see about custom OS the most:

  • Bank or payment apps don’t work due to Play Integrity API (blame Google)
  • Some other Google apps don’t work correctly (well… duh)
  • Obscure functionality that is usually overlooked or intentionally ignored, but is a complete dealbreaker for that user.

    My banking app works on GrapheneOS. It didn’t even need any of the compatibility settings to be turned. My experience has been smoother than the Android shipped with the device. I barely use Google apps apart from yt and haven’t found any obscure issues yet. Is GrapheneOS just really good compared to others or did I get lucky with my bank and the features I use?

      My bank app doesn’t work with Graphene, which is a pain in the arse, but not the end of the world. I mean, they still have a website I can log into.

        Oh, I need mine to verify who I am. I do the other things on the website vie my computer though.

      They’re pretty common and the functionality is often not even obscure. Plenty of ROMs out there are unable to make full use of the fancy cameras on some phones because of driver issues. That’s not an insignificant thing. I’ve seen NFC and e-sim being unavailable as well, which are also not very obscure features.
