I want to move to a degoogled rom, what do I need to know? (lemmy.world)

I've only heard of GrapheneOS (and that authy is insecure in the same breath, so I need better 2fa apps).

The biggest thing I can think of that I don't want to lose is the Motorola gestures. I constantly chop to open my flashlight and twist to open my camera.

Besides that, I have never touched the rom before, and I have both wells Fargo and discover banking apps I use semi-regularly. The banking apps I could probably move to just doing their actions on the website, but that difficulty is something I would like to be aware of going in.

I also use Mihon (successor to Tachiyomi) so problems with that and solutions would be nice.

I somewhat recently got my current phone, so I'm not yet willing to buy another, but I'll keep that in mind. As well as Obtainium, as that sounds better than the fdroid app I have right now.

Sounds like I'll be missing out on the most private ROM though :(

(Also what's HTH?)

"Happy to help." or "Hope it helps."

Obtainium is usually for getting apps directly from their development page, like straight from GitHub. It's best reserved for apps that don't bother with F-Droid, or to get them faster.

If you need a replacement for the F-Droid app there are alternatives like Foxy Droid, Neo Store, F-Droid Classic etc.
