        I’m using Grapheneos and rooting the room will make it less secure 🤷‍♂️ and I don’t see why root my phone

      Well its known that SoC’s have backdoors on them. Usually it calls home to China, so you can guess what that’s for.

            Google fucks with everyone, now more than ever with this “recommended” (forced) play integrity. Look at the recent ban from Uber, Authy (thank god I switched a few days ago) and some other apps

            I was curious why Hauwei and not LineageOS, GrapheneOS, Calyx, etc

              tbh recently I just don’t have time to futs with roms.

              Ive used lineage for many years. And would love to use it permanently but banking apps is a problem for me and having to hack things too much is a problem for me.
              Obviously some linux mobile distro would have been ideal. but There isn’t anything usable.

              calyx/graphene - the model selection is just too limited. And I would never buy a google or apple device.
              lineage os doesn’t support oneplus 12R I use now (well there is unofficial rom).

              so I would like to try huawei, the hope is - it’s like android but naturally without google because its designed like that.
