GrapheneOS is such a staple for me now. Been waiting for it to be released for the Pixel 8 since I got the phone at launch... it doesn't have the annoying search bar or the unmovable widget telling you the weather... Regardless of the security and privacy it offers... And its just pretty.
That's interesting. Does it not require root ? Wouldn't that trip safety net ?
Graphene passes one of googles 2 safety net checks, most apps will work, but some require google to have explicitly verified the users os, which grapheneos does not pass
No root needed, all my banking apps work as expected
I would look into it but I can't lose access to banking. They didn't work on lineage os
Does lineage have the google play services sandbox that graphene uses?
No if I remember it was just download gapps. Graphene I think is better
The way they implement the google play store on graphene might fix whatever was not working for you on lineage.
Yeah I think it probably would but I wouldn't be messing with it until I was sure. Lot of work to then have to flash it back
