Title essentially. I used to flash way back in the day, my HTC thunderbolt older phones were flashed so many times. However now, it seems even more difficult.

Are things better with a flashed phone? If I still need google apps for work, does it really make a difference/worth the effort? I haven’t come across a need for root since the old days. What would break, I use Wallet daily for payments, would anything just not work under a flashed phone?

Not to be disparaging, I think it’s be fun, but my phone also needs to be solid and stable, I’d just like to not be constantly spied on.

Pixel 7, stock everything, Google Fi, currently an esim

Edit: 3/3 say GrapheneOS, alright I’ll check it out!
