    Does someone have experience with a de-googled Android phone (graphene, /e/, …) for professional use in IT? I need a ton of authenticator apps (Microsoft Authenticator, Oracle Authenticator,…), various VPN apps and privacy-invading ‘security’ apps. Does such stuff typically work without play services and with a custom rom?

    In the past I used a custom rom on my private phone and already there it was a bit of hassle to get the banking app running. I’d assume it to be worse with these professional spyware apps. Am I right?

      Authenticators work fine for me, banking works fine, I’ve had a VPN working. Have had some issues with whatsapp backup because it only wanted to backup to google drive. But after circumventing that, no other issues. This is on e/os

      On grapheneos you can setup a separate user profile and install Google services there. Note that fairphone is not supported by GrapheneOS

      If the OS is not 100% degoogled, it can be running microg for example, this should work as a replacement for Google services
