Whether you install a custom ROM or not:

Don't use Google.

    Correct. Lineage OS only, F-Droid only. Nothing G-related at all whatsoever. No need.

    I have a Motorola I probably need to do this to, especially if Google is about to lock down against using F-Droid and stuff.

    What a huge freaking inconvenience. When am I gonna find the time?

    But I'm hoping there's builds for something that will just work and not be like "Oh BTW the camera doesn't work." It seems a lot harder to find alternate ROMs these days if you're not on a Samsung or Pixel.

    It's gotten so complicated too because they keep adding more and more anti-user layers. I like messing with stuff but I don't want to be forced to hack my daily driver! Ugh.

    Yeah, that's one thing that kind of killed me. My One+has a great camera, but it's mediocre with the stock camera on LOS. Thankfully open camera and libre camera help. Check them out in Fdroid first which is what I should've done.

    I'm going to see it I can take the APKs for the One+ apps from APKPure and strip the need for Google out of them so they'll work in my phone again. I suck at writing code, but reading and modding I can do better.
