GOS is quite cool! I do miss some features of the first party pixel OS, but certainly not enough to go back. Most of my gripes have to do with other apps’ dependence on Google services rather than GOS itself.
After working out the kinks of getting all my apps set up and working (my mobile carrier being the hardest since they require their stupid app) it’s been quite seamless.
Some stuff still needs work, for example I found that work profiles are really janky (since the work profile apps expect Google Play Services in the work sandbox, and get really confused when it isn’t there).
I use sandboxed Play Services with the minimum permissions to make it work, mainly because most apps just crap out or have no notifications without it, which is annoying.
















I have noticed a weird bug with screenshots - it pops up the mini version of your screenshot in the corner, but if I don’t use the back gesture fast enough it will become stuck on screen until I take another screenshot (even if I tap on it to open the editing view).
