This is option 5!
The default install is really clean, you can run all the Google services you want, you can install them in their own user account, or profile, and not share with other accounts. You have full control. The only thing that doesn't work is tap to pay
Android Device Policy (ie: the spyware that is work profiles) doesn't work either. An important FYI for folks whose personal device doubles as their work device.
What do you mean work profiles don't work?
I'm using a work profile on grapheneos right now.
Well that's interesting because what this individual posted about is the exact behaviour I experienced trying to get my work's Slack connection set up.

Not sure what you did to circumvent this.
Ahh. I see what you mean. Android device policy, doesn't work. But setting up work profiles with shelter does work.
So giving a third party control of your phone doesn't work on grapheneos, which makes sense.
Isn't work profiles the opposite of spyware because it insulates everything else on your device from company resources?
