The issue has been open since 2017. Payment apps require a high level of Google Play Services DRM bullshit. i do not understand it well enough to explain why it doesnt work, but enough to tell you it doesnt.

NFC payment apps dont work with MicroG, I’m not even sure they work with Graphene’s sandboxed gapps.

The amount of times ive had a large transfer over WiFi fail after like 15 minutes of waiting is more than reason enough. Happened with LocalSend and FTP. I’d rather just use a physical reliable connection. Not to mention WiFi will not work for a Laptop Dock.

Faster file transfer speeds if I’m taking video off the phone, and I would like to purchase a Nexdock eventually so I can have an easy small thing to carry around for server administration instead of my 16" laptop.

can’t wait for the FP7 so i can buy a fairphone. Unless they still.use a USB 2.0 USB port. In which case I will use my current phone until its dead in the water.

How many of these changes are actually in AOSP, and can be expected in Lineage, Graphene, Iode, Calyx /e/ so in and so fourth?

Graphene is the only rom not hamstrung by thay issue because they have OEM access. They had QPR1 code before most anyone else did. Im not a huge fan of the project but, credit where its due i dont think theyre going anywhere.

Try flicky

The first thing you should be doing is unlocking the bootloader and installing an alternative OS

I dont even use that much with my homelab, how tf are you doing that? 😭

Anywhere between 20 to 50 gigs a month depending on how out and about i am

Ive been doing it for years with no issue. 🤷

If you use Lineage, a fork of Lineage (iode, /e/), Calyx (out of commission), Graphene, or plain root and set the TTL of hotspot packets to 65 you can bypass the limit

unlocked bootloader and id be sold. throw lineageos on it with like 2 apps and experience bliss

can’t wait to use it in 7 years when they release the source code for AOSP 17

all of those things are absent from the Pixel 10.

or device trees or headphone jacks or removable batteries or micro sd cards or sideloading or

we have this already. Its called CoMaps.

2 years from now Google will be sued and offer a “free repair” (you arent eligable if theres even a scratch on the casing) or a “100 VISA gift card” (good luck receiving it)
