I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?

Update: Switched to GrapheneOS, no regrets :)

    Nothing. Nothing of value is lost by ditching the garbage pile of stock Android.

    I would never use a stock Android phone for any longer than it takes me to unlock the bootloader and get open source Android installed.

      Same. Made the mistake to buy a Samsung A13 assuming itnhas a rom. Alas, just the 5G, I have the 4G. Bootloader is already unlocked though.
