I’m tempted to install graphene, but I use google wallet for payment frequently and don’t want to lose that feature… Is there still no way around that?
you can still use google wallet. Just can’t use tap-to-pay. (not really a big deal for me because Walmart, which is really the only grocery store I shop at, doesn’t even support tap-to-pay like the tech-hating bastards that they are grumble grumble)
Come to canada, we be tappin’ up here
you could use shelter to create a work profile with google services framework installed… then freeze the profile when not in use
You know I was in this dilemma too, and I just decided that my card was fine to tap with rather than my phone. I keep my DL and CC on my phone, so tapping is just about as easy.
