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. 😃
Good morning and happy Monday all you wonderful people of the #Fediverse.
Per usual, let’s take a moment to grab a #KoffeeWithKyle and chat about our plans for the day ahead. Let me know in the comments.
For me, I’ll be just doing the regular “day job” thing first. After that will probably be some more work on the next feature of #AllThingsTech we’re going to release. Then just chillin.
