Any functionality you miss from the stock rom?
GrapheneOS is actually the most bland stock ROM you can find, and it's amazing for that. Android without Google. Some people complain that banking applications may not work, but it's highly specific to a country and that bank.
I have no complaint and no problem so far, it's the best ROM I have ever used.
Never used the stock rom on it, purchased it, turned it on, and immediately flashed it. BUT compared to my last "normal" android? (Smasnug- I'll never NOT call them that thanks to a certain Aussie on YT) No. Nothing. That said I'm middle aged and never even considered using stuff like contactless payments with a phone, etc. Never saw the appeal of increased risk just to look like a douchebag at the checkout aisle or the drive through. Your mileage may vary if you use things like that, I can't speak to it.
Only thing I noticed was for my bank's app, I had to enable "exploit protection compatibility mode" to make it function like it should.
Oh, my pkcell
Did we just become friends?
Where's Frank?
There’s dozens of us!
I use contactless payments on my pixel, that and banking apps in general keep me from trying it.
Sounds like it might work fine, that's encouraging.
tap to pay isn't more risky, might be less risky depending on how you use it. My understanding is that it uses a one-time number instead of your card information, not unlike using the chip and pin. I'm no expert tho, don't quote me on that lol
