I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?
I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?


Remarkable! So you have been using graphene OS for a long-term? How would you rate it overall? Do you ever get frustrated by some of the limitations or jankiness that can come up with various apps?
No bullshit, I’ve yet to run into jank. My bank is a credit union that isn’t a bunch of assholes, so their app works fine.
I don’t need any authentication apps, so no worries there. Ifi ever do, there’s some known to work with graphene.
I’m happier with graphene than I have been in years with android overall. Last time I was really happy with android, we were still in single digits. The ever increasing limitations Google was applying broke my joy of it s an enthusiast.
But graphene at least returns me being able to use my device without the layers of Google bullshit unless I just want to.
So no frustrations at all just easy to use handled computing.
I’ve had this phone since early last year. I think? Might have been june? Damned if I can remember without digging up old messages lol.
Whe I got it, my plan was to use the pixel for my second line in case I couldn’t make the transition. I switched sims out two days later and haven’t looked back since. If I could put graphene on my second phone, I would.
