Comment on Apple calls Android a 'massive tracking device'
Gekoloniseerd@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’d like to do this but it looks a bit complicated. Maybe there’s a video guide I can follow so that I don’t fuck it up.

It’s actually super easy. This guy makes great videos about GrapheneOS. This is a video install guide, it’s really not that hard. You really don’t have to be worried, there’s nothing that you can really fuck up. If something doesn’t work, you just try again.

Oh man, this looks so much easier than when I installed Lineage on the Poco F1! Might go for it now that I’ve got a pixel 7

I can only recommend it. I used a Samsung phone a few years ago and putting a custom ROM on it took me a whole weekend, I had to spend many hours researching and I often encountered issues. With GrapheneOS, it was super easy. 15 minutes after taking the phone out of the box I had Graphene running on it. That was my first time installing GrapheneOS btw.

Does it work with most common applications?
netchami@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yes, the GrapheneOS team put a lot of time and effort into creating Sandboxed Google Play services. It allows you to use Google services which are required for many apps without giving up your privacy. You get to choose which permissions you grant to Google Play services, just like with any other app. Basically any app that works on Android also works on GrapheneOS, except for a few things like Google Pay or Android Auto, because Google actually prevents them from working on Graphene.

You mean apps? Then yes. You can just install Aurora.
Cypher@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What do you think apps is a contraction of?

You don’t need aurora on graphene, thats the point of sandboxing.
