#grapheneos

Continued thread

I've been using #GrapheneOS for a year now.

Overall, very happy with it. Some of the security options are (perhaps) of little use to anyone except the extremely paranoid. A few UI bugs which really need some love. Lack of Google Wallet is probably the biggest downside.

An excellent alt-OS if you want to de-Google bits of your life.

Sooo... A current #Android with march 25 patches has new exciting options: you can enable a full #Linux environment on your device and do stuff like running docker. I enabled this with my #grapheneos device (6a) just now, but when I want to use the new and shiny #Terminal app, I get a popup saying I need to download 565MB first - which then fails.

Edit: Ran out of storage space.

Shot in the dark here, but has anyone used Island/Insular with #GrapheneOS in #Android ? (For those less familiar with it, Island/Insular is a tool by Oasis Feng that creates a custom work profile it manages to isolate apps installed within that profile. This way they don't get access to things most apps get access to on the host system -- even the stuff that doesn't have to ask for permission generally. Though there are a few things the work profile can still see.)

I'm having an issue that stuff I'm installing inside the island is disappearing after a while (specifically I guess after a reboot?) This doesn't occur in any other "ROM" I've used, so I think possibly it's related to the custom installer #GrapheneOS uses.

Anyone have any experience with this?

EDIT: Found a workaround.

Also, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, funktioniert #UnifiedPush mit #Molly und #Nextpush nur, wenn du einen Molly-Socket irgendwo laufen hast: github.com/mollyim/mollysocket
Das heißt vermutlich wird Molly bei dir aktuell immernoch über den Websocket die Benachrichtigungen empfangen.
Ich habe ein #degoogled Android mit #grapheneos und ohne Play Services. Darauf konnte ich mit UP und Mollysocket (Airgapped) den Akkuverbrauch von Molly auf einen Bruchteil (< 1%) verringern.

So with Apple running out of ideas, it must be time for a new coat of paint.

Before Apple makes more simple things complicated, maybe its time to try out one of the many Open Source Android projects, or maybe try out a Linux distro on a spare PC.

Je voulais tester #GraphèneOS mais sans me ruiner complètement, le Pixel5 est un bon choix ou il y a mieux ?
Je dois chercher dans quel ordre de prix pour de l'occasion ?

(là tout de suite j'en trouve un seul sur LBC et à 150 €, ça me paraît très cher non ?)

My life with two phones was short-lived. It was not practical. I decided to go all in with #GrapheneOS and #Pixel 6a. I'll be giving the Samsung Galaxy S22 to someone else in the family and using the Pixel 6a for the next half of the year. If it's okay, I'll get a Pixel 10 and install GrapheneOS on it. If not, I'll humbly go back to Samsung and get the S25.

BTW it is interesting to find that I can live with a used phone for €120.
