#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.
