I have a Pixel 10, first thing I did was to install LawnChair 16 launcher to remove the fucking google search bar, and I never use assistant/gemini, I have never talk to my phone too. The only thing I used that is nice is the "press and hold bottom screen then you can circle anything to search for it" I must say this is useful, instead of screenshot and going into google lens or whatever.

    Go grapheneOS! The best thing to do with a damn pixel. No more battling with google.

    I know, but I use tap-to-pay with NFC for like 10 years now and could not live without it :-/ I have no more wallet.

    Else I would use any phone with a custom ROM, I agree...

    Not sure the last time you checked but tap to pay works with most modern custom ROMs.

    Yes, after installing Magisk/kSU, 3 or 4 addons to hide root/BL unlock, TEE, PIFork, boxkey, more hack to pass full integrity, etc, then after a few weeks there is a google update, wallet does not work anymore and you have to refind a way to pass full integrity. I did it with my previous phones and it's tedious...

    I would think it would still work with the sandboxed google installed. Not tried though but it would still be vastly better, as Google's severely castrated in their sandbox 😁 Worth a shot if you hate the rest.
