The big thing now is Graphene OS on the Pixels. It is a custom ROM that works exactly like an OEM. The reason this works is because the Pixels ship with the same type of cryptographic hardware security chip as modern computers with TPM/secure boot. This chip makes it possible to create a verified chain of trust in the device so that Graphene can do over the air updates to the device. The ROM is configured with root disabled and the full Android 3 party lockdown user space for regular operations. You still have root through developer mode and USB if you need it. I've done custom ROMs for many years in the past, but nothing compares to the Graphene experience. As far as I am concerned, Graphene's list of supported devices is the entire list of available phones I will consider purchasing.
Can you use Google Wallet and tap to pay with it?
I think you can use wallet but not pay
Yeah but if I cannot tap to pay, it's a no for me...
I've used GrapheneOS and liked it, now I'm playing around with /e/os
