@johano Sorry for the late reply. My experience so far has been rather good! The only thing I'm not so keen on is using Play Store, rather than Aurora+MicroG; but that's only for a couple of apps. Everything else works nicely, and for the first time in years I am happy that my phone is not spying on me. · 1 month ago
What's your experience so far? I'm on Lineage and like it · 1 month ago
@darkghost the mobile app detected it wasn't running on stock Android and therefore for my safety won't function. · 1 month ago
@drh3xx Let me guess, they either don't offer 2FA or use something insecure like SMS for 2FA. · 1 month ago
@m0xee I was running PostmarketOS on a OnePlus 6T but then VoLTE became a hard requirement of my mobile/cell carrier which it (PMOS) doesn't support yet. GrapheneOS appears to be the ONLY FOSS mobile OS that supports VoLTE without major upgrade workflows involving having to flash stock Android firmware before reflashing your FOSS offering. So with no small amount of irony I basically had to buy a Pixel. My only real issue with the Pixel/GrapheneOS combo (besides PMOS having been actual full Linux in my pocket) is my banking app won't run on it. Despite the website being usable on the mobile they deem not secure enough due to the custom OS. · 1 month ago
grats. I've been running it for a couple years now · 1 month ago
@dk I've never used it myself as it only runs on Pixel phones and I don't want to own anything by Google.
It's basically security hardened Android — very security-hardened, with greater app isolation and finer-grained access control. TBH, to me this feels more Android than Android itself 😅 · 1 month ago
Never heard of it. what is it? · 1 month ago
