- an app that require a device integrity in a rom with gapps, just run from beginning in eos (although eos only passed basic integrity, interesting)
- a ride hailing app that iirc use google maps, now use (openstreet?) map but the app use an amoled dark theme map (black). in another app, they use light theme map
- not all paid apps works, even with the usual workaround of repurchase and cancel
eOS is just Android, so Android apps work.
That aside, eOS has a history of being often behind on security patches and updates, so it is highly recommend to avoid it.
That also depends a lot. Often (e.g. on Fairphone) the stock ROM may lag behind way worse than e/OS.
So if a user has reasons to avoid a Pixel, or just wants to improve their privacy without replacing their device, e/OS may be a marked improvement even on security.
Are there any other Android based OS that are neither Google nor flawed?
Thanks. Does it work on a Nokia 7.2 though?
Sadly it only works on Google Pixel. I’d recommend LineageOS, but the images aren’t signed so you can’t lock the bootloader.
I’ve been on eOS for four years and I have never had a single security incident. You people love to parrot the same shit over and over
Just because you have not had a problem does not mean they aren’t behind on patches.

I didn’t say they weren’t. I simply think that the implications for the average user often get blown out of proportion, because I’ve heard from absolutely no one who uses eOS on the forums for example that they’ve had a problem with their phones derived from that delay.
Depends on your threat model. If youre an average joe, and your threat model just want to avoid big tech and prolong your device suppport. eOS is great. People just need to have some common sense which is not installing random apk and what not.
Exactly!
I (and everyone I know) eat every day, world hunger is blown out of proportion!
I never use seatbelt and I still haven’t been in a car accident
Talk about completely disproportionate comparisons
I’ve eOS on several of my devices: my bank app works on my phone but I had to close my revolut account because their app requires google safetynet.
Not quite, it requires Play integrity.
Safteynet seems to mostly work.
