About four months ago I took the jump from being a long time stock android user (mainly Samsung) and I have to thank the team behind GOS and the community that has been consistently positive and helpful.
When I first imaged my new in the box 6a I wasn't sure what to expect as far as a learning curve or if I would end up missing out on too many "necessity" apps and functions that I had taken for granted over the years. I'm happy to say now after months of using it (no play services at all) that I couldn't be happier. With a bit of reading, tweaking and direction from the community, GOS actually put some trust back into my relationship with my mobile and freed me of the constant ads and annoying notifications I was frustrated with on stock android.
Its been a great experience so far, so long as GOS and projects like it are around I will never turn back!
Long live GOS & FOSS!
