    That’s useful information. None of these apps that I use are financial in any way. If anything they’re more like GPS apps that route me to where I need to go, etc. I’ll look more into it before I make the leap. Thank you for answering.

      They don’t have to be financial - many corporate apps will not work on custom ROMs - the most popular ones being the ones by Microsoft - eg Teams, Outlook etc.

      Similarly, some games may also not work, such as all the ones by Niantic (Ingress, Pokemon Go etc) and typically many online multiplayer games.

      Finally, this will also affect popular streaming media services, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.

      There are workarounds for some of these - some with certain compromises - but there’s no guarantee that they’ll continue to work. So before you look into any workarounds (if you use the above three categories of apps), know that it’s a constant game of cat-and-mouse, so it’s not for the faint hearted.

      Just my two cents I ran lineageos on my oneplus 6 for the last 3 months before getting a new phone, also running micro GApps and I was able to use my banking app and things like android auto just fine.
