I'm patiently waiting for my 4th Pixel 5A RMA since they love frying motherboards outta nowhere but damn once you get grapheneos going it really is something else

It makes the stock pixel seem so bloated with all the non-removable google apps. Like why can't I remove the pixel buds app?

I never had any issues with the motherboard on my 5A, but I gave up on it after destroying the screen twice. I have a 6 now but it's annoyingly large, top heavy, and I have to keep it on LTE only mode to have decent battery life.

I had similar argument in reddit today , people talk about bloat but ignore all the Google bloat, I don't want to use Google apps, there are better alternatives out there.

I'm running Paranoid Android on my mi 11x . better than stock miui though I need GM's and few Google stuffs for some peculiar apps to work.
