Anyone here have any experience with #GrapheneOS? I'm in need of a new phone, and I'm kinda considering getting a #Pixel7 or #Pixel7a and flashing Graphene, but I have some questions.
Can you game on it? lol I mostly play #emulators, not many #Android games (though I do get down on some of the #NetflixGames). I know the Pixel's chipset should be able to handle up through some PS2 and Gamecube, which is def enough for me, but if it can handle some Yuzu and/or Vita3K, that would be rad. Just curious if that all works within Graphene's sandboxing and if there are any performance issues.
How does the sandboxed Play Services work? Do you install it, then have to give specific apps permission to access Play Services? How much can you lock down Google apps, like Google Camera, Google Maps, etc., if I choose to use those over the stock/FOSS options? I'll probably go #FOSS like I usually do, but it never hurts to have options.
I've messed with custom roms a fair bit, but not a specifically privacy/security-oriented one like Graphene. Is there anything that someone coming from a relatively vanilla AOSP experience would find jarring or unexpected?
I use #Spotify via #xmanager currently. Does anyone on Graphene currently use this? Does it work as expected?
I know GrapheneOS + the #Pixel is kind of the pinnacle of security in mobile devices rn. What have you personally noticed about the #privacy and #security of your own digital experience since switching?
Any thoughts and opinions are welcome! Thanks, friends. 😃
I have been on #mastodon for one year now! that's so awesome I feel like there is such a special community of people who are utilizing the #fediverse ! oh and did you know it's #fedibookfair weekend?
there are so many great authors who are posting their literature :msn:

Edit: I uploaded another rendition of the picture. When I saw it in laptop's screen I thought I could do a bit better the postproc. Editing with a phone, you know... 😅
💩 Google ne donne aucun plan d'action, aucune annonce, au sujet du bug de la mise à jour Android 14 qui bloque totalement leur propre ligne de smartphone (ça touche au moins Pixel 6 et Pixel 7 selon les retours, Pixel 8 peut-être ?).
Si même le développeur d'Android fait de la merde avec ses propres modèles, ça me donne encore moins confiance dans l'OS.
On n'est pas gâtés avec ce Pixel 6. Déjà que le GPS était bien pourri, inutilisable et dangereux pour de la conduite… Quelle déception. :grr:
On my #pixel7 running #GrapheneOS, I like having these toggles as my first 8 in the quick setting menu (swipe down from the top). This allows me to quickly ensure my camera, mic, hotspot, all radios, etc. are OFF unless needed, then I can also easily turn them ON/OFF as needed.
Pixel bug: The keycap letters on the gboard suddenly become super ultra tiny. Only way to fix is to restart. A bit of web searching suggests it may be Pixel-7-specific.
Once they are made available, the Android update release notes are quite detailed about what security fixes are included, which hardware it might apply to.
But they aren't detailed about non-security fixes.
I'm trying to find Bluetooth, permission, or power management fixes that might resolve the longstanding malfunction of #Dexcom#CGM app on Android+Pixel7
Byle Córka zjadła śniadanie i ruszamy na długi spacer. A wczoraj wieczorem piękne rozgwieżdżone niebo. Jak dziś też będzie to wyjdę i zrobię przynajmniej jedno dobre zdjęcie #pixel7 w trybie astrofotografii.
