Those of you who moved to @GrapheneOS :

What were the most painful points during the migration itself?

What are things you miss from your previous iPhone or regular Android?

If your on ios then getting your data out of apple is a bitch. Android to G os is a lot better. Things you will give up: 1. Google wallet 2. RCS will struggle 3. Some apps break such as banking (often fixed by disbaling G os hardening in app setting) 4. Some Bluetooth compatibility issues (usual...

Not painful, just getting used to compartementalize apps/ uses in different user profiles was a bit tedious at first. Then got used to it and made perfect sense. Might be having tap to pay would be nice, but not a deal breaker (just use the good ol cards lol) #GrapheneOS rocks ⚡

My greatest misunderstanding was around the GrapheneOS user profiles. They're awesome but the default profile from boot is always the Owner profile. I think next install I'll set up a clean normie profile as the owner & do most of my use in a secondary profile. Backup to USB (done per user profile...

I am in the process of transition from iphone. For now I have two profile, one privacy oriented and that one works very well even without google play (all done via obtainium and zapstore). But when I tried to replicate my normy profile, I have issue with the bank apps. Don't really mind tap to pay...

Nothing is missed. Almost all apps were dependable of gservices and many people do not realize how bad is that. Even now some people are using Aurora store on Graphene and I think that is a huge mistake, no matter how you feel that you are protected, it is not. If you really want to de-google,, FFS,...

I mean, it's more or less a matter of how extensively you configure your phone with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ks8pz7mp. I use several sandboxed profiles—in doing so, yes, it is tedious to use, and you lose in comfort an...

I would start by watch this tutorial video by nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cc6268u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnumtalYLFI My big issue was the mis-reading of the installation documentation and getting eSim to work. The eSim needs to functional on the P...

The browser is so locked out there are thing that just don't work...for example, apps that open a webview for sign in will likely fail. You will also have to be selective with apps. While you can use something like Aurora to bypass Google Play there are apps that just don't well without Play Servi...

Honestly it's better than it's ever been. It feels a lot like Android before it was wrecked. Especially if you run the sandboxes play services. That's the main pain point with apps that demand it. But I don't use many of those.

PWA is the way, you'll become extremely aware apps like Costco will not work even while using the Sandbox Google Play Store

I moved from LineageOS to GrapheneOS, one opensource Android to another, so it was pretty painless. Just had to remember to unlock then re-lock the bootloader. Moving from stock Android to any opensource OS means finding open source replacements for common apps. That's the hardest bit, that and bec...

Not my personal complaints, but here are a few: WhatsApp notifications not coming through. Maps application not as good as Google/apple. Airplay/Cast doesn't work.

Bought a pixel that wasnt unlocked correctly, had to ask for a refund and get another. Everything else was easy and I am not technical.

IPhone password manager, and Imessage. People don't like change, going to signal app.
Diego Gurpegui · 10w
Almost everything worked for me without problems. Apps, notifications, all those things people usually complain about. I moved from regular Android, and now in GrapheneOS for a couple of years. The only issues I remember having is one specific app that I couldn't install and I used Aurora. In anoth...

I guess I’m in the minority. I’ve found it very easy to install (though the boot loader stuff is always a bit of fumbling on each android device). The only thing I wish was smoother and clearer is how to install google play services from certain perspectives. IE, if you want another profile to...

There's nothing to miss, just use multiple profiles so you can isolate all the garbage apps that don't respect privacy or require google play services from your everyday browsing and comma.
