Can you flash a generic ROM instead?
Technically mine is. I reflashed it back from graphene bc no tap to pay was a deal breaker. Though I did just get an update so maybe me reflash fixed my long-standing update timing issue.
I wonder if getting a smartwatch with tap-to-pay, like the Pixel watch could help with that? You could still continue to use GrapheneOS on your phone (assuming the watch has no phone dependencies).
That might be a solution. Once I’m done financing everything else I’m currently financing, I’ll reconsider. Would be nice if they could crack compatibility with the backend that tap-to-pay requires. That would be the last element I would need to have a functional Graphene work for me.
