What ROM to choose for my pixel 7 pro (lemmy.world)

I have been convinced to switch from apple, and i am soon purchasing a pixel 7 pro. I would then like to put a custom rom on it because i would:

  1. like to use foss more
  2. like to maintain better privacy than apple offers
  3. would enjoy the control over the system
  4. not like to ever touch google chrome

There are some limitations to what i can choose though, as i need the following to work:

  1. google apps like sheets/docs/classroom/youtube
  2. banking app (usaa specifically)
  3. play store (could be replaced)

Additionally i would like to keep the flashy camera stuff google talks about with the camera as i use the camera a fair bit. I have also heard that androids can have different UIs, so i would appreciate a nice looking one (i use gnome on my desktop for this reason alone). What ROMs would you guys recommend i choose?

Have you heard about /e/OS?

/e/OS

Been using it for a out 3 months now and been enjoying it. Found it after Aurora became slightly unusable. Built in tracker blocker is nice

Seems interesting, but the screenshots seem very ugly and unappealing to me.

Btw, what happened to the aurora store?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The accounts that they use were rate limited to login attempts and made the store unusable. The workaround is to open the Google Play page for the app in a browser and opening it up in "another app" in which Aurora should take over. It might be fixed but hasn't been an issue on /e/os.

I agree that /e/os looks boring or looks like iOS but doesn't every Android OS look the same to some degree? They are redesigning the UI in an upcoming release.

The main I like /eOS is the built in tracker blocker.
