The installation was very easy! It's very greatful that my data doesn't send to Google any more.

Is it actually usable for everyday stuff though? I heard that bank apps are pain in the ass among other things. Maybe this new deal with Motorola changes things.

You can install Google app store in a container, and all the apps I've used work fine on it out of the box. It absolutely works fine as a daily driver.

That’s great! Well, I think I’ll give a shot when my iPhone dies.

(Edit: Maybe) You can't do mobile deposit, but surely you can still just use the bank's website.

I can do mobile deposit with both my credit union and Discover.

Well, I stand corrected. Even less reason to not switch to Graphene.

I have been using it for 2+ years exclusively. I had a few issues with mobile deposit with my old credit union, but I moved to a new one and it works. So does the Discover app. Pretty much everything else is great, and I worry much less about my phone spying on me.
