My pixel 7 is shitting the bed and I am considering upgrading and just installing graphene immediately on the new phone as part of my degoogling journey.
Is there anything I need to know about this? I work in IT, so I’m tech savvy. This is my first time installing graphene, however.
I’d be upgrading to a pixel 10 probably.
My carrier is verizon
It’s really easy. Graphene has a web flasher with very good instructions, and once flashed, you’re good to go. I haven’t looked back. Once installed you’ll want your apps.
If you want to sign in to the play store and connect your google account to the phone for your apps, you can do that, bu then you’re kinda right back where you started. Not fully, because Graphene, but Google is still gonna google and suck up any and all data it can.
So for apps, look to F-Droid, Obtainium, and Aurora store.
F-Droid and Obtainium for FOSS apps, and Aurora store for play store apps without having to sign in to the play store.
And if you need google play, make a separate container thinghy and install all google BS there, no?
Google Play is sandboxed on GrapheneOS by default, and you can choose which permissions to give it.
Eehhhh I still wouldnt trust it in the same container
Besides, I can be assured that it is 100% not even running if it’s in a different container, right?
