Thanks for the info! Do you use maps for navigation while driving? If so, does it work as smoothly as normal? Also have you used the Google wallet for tap payments on graphene?
I've not noticed any issues at all with navigation. Unfortunately contactless payments are one of the few things that don't work.
I was afraid of that. Hmm, any other pain points that stick out? Are you able to use things like Google docs and voice? I know I'm probably wanting to have my cake and eat it too. It's truly overwhelming how many Google services I rely on and I hate it.
Google docs is fine, I don't use any of the voice assistant stuff but I think they do still work. I think the NFC payments are a bit of an edge case, I can't remember the reason they don't work but they are the exception.
Makes sense. I am guessing it's some kind of app/device signature thing that ties deeply to the OS. How about android auto? What camera app do you use and how well does it work? I hope I'm not taking too much advantage of your willingness to answer questions :)
According to the doc android auto probably won't work. I just use open camera and it seems fine, though I think you can use Google camera if you like.
Ultimately you can try it out and switch back to stock if you're not happy without too much effort!
Awesome. Thanks so much for your help!
