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?

    People who are using a custom ROMs. Are you able to use apps like banking apps and work apps (outlook, teams, InTune, etc.)?

    This is a big hurdle for me and I don’t wish to carry two phones.

      Yes, I’m able to use banking apps on CalyxOS (unofficial, running Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro here). With root even. I installed the Universal SafetyNet Fix magisk module by Displax, enabled Zygisk, Enforce DenyList and checked the banking app on Configure DenyList.

      I also installed the Systemless Hosts module and enabled it after. But I’m not sure if it did anything.

      This site has a crowd sourced list of apps that includes their compatibility on deGoogled Android devices.

      Personally, I’ve had very few issues with apps not working, and banking/productivity apps haven’t given me issues on CalyxOS, but your mileage may vary
