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.

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?

    NFC payments with Google wallet, in theory if your bank provides the service in their app, you could still use this kind of payment, haven’t tried it tho.
    Also I only found a developer for which their games don’t work, it’s the developer of guardian tales.

    Aside from that, with sandboxed play services there hasn’t been any difference since I migrated to GOS.
