This one is definitely the hardest and is the least mature. Have you managed to get off Google on your phone?

I'm using GrapheneOS (Degoogle'd android) on a Pixel 6a. The irony isn't lost on me that I had to buy google to get off google.

I had tried Pinephone and Plasma mobile, but it still needs more work and I needed a phone sooner as my old one was failing.

How about you? Did you manage to get away from Google?

LineageOS with microG for some apps that freak out without any comfort from Google...

Interesting. Does it impact much on your use cases, or are you not fussed with those apps?

The apps I need (bank and ID) work perfect, my device even passes safetynet. I get updates from Playstore via Aurora. Only thing I can't do is pay for apps.

Is aurora being incredibly buggy with the rate limits for you as well?

Yes it has. Had to log in with "my own" account a few times.
