I’m about to degoogle my stock Android phone. For the past few years, I’ve used it to handle the non-open source apps that I don’t want running on my main phone. As I’ve finally weaned off GApps, I realize that I might as well go degoogle the rom as well.

edit: to be clear, I’ll be using sandboxed Play services on GOS

But since that phone is my compatibility guinea pig, is it likely I’ll still run into an app that demands unmodded Android with no alternatives? In your experience, has any bank or other service required the app on regular Android, with no alternative for the desktop, browser, etc?

      Neat, that shows you how often I use them! I’d be very surprised if there was no backup code option though, not everyone has a smartphone.

        You wouldn’t be able to pickup without a smartphone. If you are not home, you’ll get a little note in your mailbox and go to a partner package shop

          I feel we’re talking about different things. The only Amazon lockers I’m aware of are the ones in shops, offices, and other public places where you go to pick up your parcel and can do so just with a code. Do you have your own personal one installed at your house?
