    I can’t use it stock because cell providers can push bullshit apps I don’t want without my permission and I can’t fully disable Gemini. Switching to grapheneOS addresses those concerns, but cause new problems, like killing tap to pay and triggering security flags on games and banking apps.

      Yeah that’s a fair point. Some android models do have minimal or none bloatware, like Google pixel… But also then papa Google owns your ass lol

        I was actually looking at moving to a pixel fold but the Gemini shit that I can’t turn off turned me away. The Samsung fold7 is incredibly tempting too, but again, I refuse to use their adware riddled shit.
