yes, there are hardware security fixes and os security fixes
google only releases updates for 3-5 years, so grapheneos also supports that device for the same period
but others like lineageos just keep porting the os to older devices which no longer receive hardware security fixes as they also focus on device longevity
a developer found a way to break edl tool so developers can work on oneplus 11 devices
n xda developer picked up his oneplus 11 and is currently porting lineageos onto it
currently, almost everything works, there is no ota support yet as its still an unofficial lineageos, but work is being done to make it official

these two said good things about it
rooting means gaining root access of android device
in Linux file systems, root is the base folder called / and then comes other folders
like(simplified) /Downloads/boku_no_pico means boku_no_pico is in downloads folder which is inside root
so now, in traditional android based os, there are some folders which are not permitted to be accessed like system folder and rooting means gaining access to that folder, which gives you access to modifying any property of the system
some negatives are that there are some crappy services who think rooting is only/mostly done by bad actors who are trying to abuse their services (basically Netflix, bank apps) so they try to block rooted users from using their services
but these dumb big tech employees can’t even do one thing properly, hiding root is really easy once you get used to it, so now bad actors can still abuse their system and honest users suffer
as the other commenter said, you don’t need
USAA bank app works on grapheneos here is a report - https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/
gcam can be downloaded via play store or aurora store
about ui of apps, none of them are as good as ios
lineages is focused more on customisability and features and device longevity
grapheneos is focused on security and privacy
many features implemented in grapheneos has been upstreamed in aosp(base) android
one disadvantage of grapheneos’ approach is it stops updating after vendor(google) stops updating the firmware as it considers the device depricated
well, lucky you
Google is preparing to revamp bubbles on large screen devices like the Pixel Tablet!

check if this app has the internal name for your device
the normal 10t lite is called gauguin
yes, I rooted my old phone to install custom ROM and save the recovery( my Chinese phone would remove custom recovery if I didn’t root
iirc, the process was miui->twrp+pixel exp.+magisk+format data then I had a rooted phone but I didn’t need the root so I flashed pixel exp. and did a format data again and magisk was gone
root should go away after clean flashing the ROM again as the update guides always say if you want to retain root, flash magisk after flashing ROM
I’m using grapheneos and docs works just fine
sheets should also work, I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t
and you probably haven’t read the website in a long while, grapheneos doesn’t support/recommend microg as it is an insecure/partial implementation of google services
grapheneos has developed their own sandboxed play services, which act as a regular android app, it doesn’t get any special privileged access to imei or whatever stock oem android gives
after installing this through the “apps” app, you can use grapheneos like regular oem android, but with better privacy and security features
nothing would be a good choice :p
