- I trust some custom roms more than vendors
- Bugs / perf / stability / qualcomm not providing firmware are device dependant, it's a good idea to check compatibility before buying the phone, same as when you're buying a laptop you're planning to use with linux.
- GApps can be installed easily but they're basically spyware, so maybe think twice about that.
- Magisk et similia fix banks app (no idea about Google Wallet, I don't use it)
