As Samsung is blocking custom ROMs with OneUI 8, I seriously need to look into alternatives. Does anyone have good experience with a custom ROM on a S25 Ultra? The only thing I really worry about are my banking apps. I need those to work.

I use /e/OS, my office mate uses Graphene. All our banking apps (I have like 3, lol) work flawlessly. However, once you go down this road, there is always a chance that they stop working in the future, as Google introduces more bullshit like this or Play Integrity.

people might have to considered a stock android just to use the bank apps on a cheap phone, and one for personal use.

Just use apps like Hermit or Native Alpha and use the banking website like an app.

I just use my banking through the web UI. Why do you need an app for it? If it's for check deposits, try using an old phone as a dedicated banking device.

If you don't use apps that depend on Google services, consider deGoogling your phone.

true too, i use my banking app mostly on the PC anyways, because i can just block thier ability with adblockers, tracking,,,etc.
