    With how terrible my P7P update experience has been (literally every update has made the phone buggier and more unstable) I’m no longer sure if this is a good thing or not. Maybe if they fix their insane QA issues.

        I’m switching phones instead, but even if I wasn’t I don’t want to risk bricking my phone or playing the cat and mouse game with banking apps.

        Either way I’m never touching a pixel again until they fix their buggy software.

          There’s almost no risk, you can install it from the browser, the bootloader gets relocked so no issues with banking apps and rooted device, and you can still have play services on the phone but without it being able to access the whole storage and device info. You seem to literally just be spewing words without knowing anything about the subject.

          If you don’t want it I’d be willing to take it and experiment myself with graphene OS.

            I’m saying I don’t want to modify my device because I don’t want to risk damaging it. How is that spewing words without knowing anything about the subject? I don’t care how easy it is for other people to modify it or how functional the phone might be afterwards, I don’t want to risk modifying it myself, that’s all. Also I wouldn’t want Graphene for other reasons, but that’s besides the point. It’s on Google to fix their crappy software, not me.

              Because there is practically no risk of damaging the device and bricking it. If you knew anything about the the distribution, it’s inhalation and android you’d know that the risk is almost nonexistent and reversible. I understand you don’t want to run any risk, sure, it’s a valid reason, but to damage the device is practically impossible just from installing another android variant.
