Does NFC still work? (I know that low key defeats the purpose of a privacy oriented android build but yeah)
Yes, NFC the technology works. However, certain applications, like Google Wallet can be problematic and require workarounds (not because of technology itself though)

Not everyone using a custom ROM is doing it for privacy reasons. I see privacy as a perk but I mainly use custom ROMs to keep my devices around longer and to get new features.
Even for those who are concerned about privacy, I don’t think NFC is that big of a security hole. I know some people who turn it on only when they’re using it, but that’s pretty painless.
Yeah I did that with an old Motorola, it went for years. Now I have a pixel and it seems to come with a lot of features that break when installing an alternative OS
I bought a Pixel because of how universal its support is with custom OSes. What features are broken there?
I remember reading some Reddit comments about certain camera functions no longer working. I bought the pixel for the camera and I don’t want to break that functionality.
Disclaimer: I’ve never really looked into different OS’s and what they do/don’t do
afaik it should. but why do you think NFC defeats privacy? it is quite short range, isn’t it? having google services is much worse
Well, I was mostly concerned about google knowing where I’m shopping. I know using google pay is lazy buy I’m not perfect…
oh google pay, I see. but that’s not NFC’s fault, it’s useful for other things too.
speaking about it, I’m not sure google pay will work. but I never used it, so I don’t know for sure, but there’s this suspicion after what banks do
