Go grapheneOS! The best thing to do with a damn pixel. No more battling with google.

I know, but I use tap-to-pay with NFC for like 10 years now and could not live without it :-/ I have no more wallet.

Else I would use any phone with a custom ROM, I agree...

Not sure the last time you checked but tap to pay works with most modern custom ROMs.

Yes, after installing Magisk/kSU, 3 or 4 addons to hide root/BL unlock, TEE, PIFork, boxkey, more hack to pass full integrity, etc, then after a few weeks there is a google update, wallet does not work anymore and you have to refind a way to pass full integrity. I did it with my previous phones and it's tedious...

I would think it would still work with the sandboxed google installed. Not tried though but it would still be vastly better, as Google's severely castrated in their sandbox 😁 Worth a shot if you hate the rest.

It doesn't. But you can get a watch that does NFC payments.

Yeah sure, should've guessed it doesn't...
