        They should not care as long as it has a compatible SIM/modem combo.

          Yet…. Just wait until they require an approved OS for “safety” to activate a SIM. Just think BF6 and Secure Boot.

          I’m so upset that this isn’t all that matters. Carriers usually setup really nice contracts with manufacturers for things like exclusivity and marketing.

        For what one data point is worth, I do it to my phone carrier all the time.

          Gservices you can simply remove via Adb, and MicroG has a magisk module

            I’ve successfully debloated two googled ROMs before, once in stock and the other on a custom ROM with GApps prebuilt, and while you can debloat major parts like Google play and Google services, minor parts cause annoying crashes and functionality loss if you debloated it to get a full degoogled ROM, at that point , using a Vanilla ROM is better
