Nothing, you can learn as you go I'm sure others will have tips though, bunch of fucking topic discussers

1st you need a Pixel Phone 2nd it needs to be unlocked

it has to be a Google phone. no others have a secure bootloader and therefore won't work. other than that, the webinstaller for GraphineOS is a cake walk. you can get around the GPlay store with Aurora, mostly... 🤙✔️💫

GrapheneOS is the way to go. Choose a privacy preserving browser like Brave, get a VPN (Proton Mullvad, nostrich one's payable in SATs/whatever), install Tor, then start saving and exporting all your app settings on a USB key. Keyboard: Futo. Zapstore & Obtainium for the good stuff, maybe F-Droid ...

https://grapheneos.org/ CalyxOS is also really good.

when I ran it i found: -installation is really easy -battery life was better without all the tracking on from google services -privacy is still a rabbit hole (consider running two profiles on the same phone) and you will have to define just how private you want to be -this was 2 years ago and most ...

Some apps don't play nice. My bank app sort of works but transfers don't work for some reason. Using web apps is usually the work around.

Just get started! It's awesome. I've been using it for years. Even my wife and she barely realizes she's using it. Now if only I could get my kids to, but all their friends are in apple gulag

Know how you will use your profile(s) and if you'll be using a non-Google profile, be aware of which apps will and won't work in it. A lot of apps rely on Google play services that you wouldn't think would. Additionally, decide which profile to use with your SIM. If you're in your non-SIM profile,...

Know that my 17 year old daughter has been using it for 3 years with no major complaints. Refrain from being a little bitch, freedom isn't always convenient. 🤙🫂

It's easy peasy. The main thing is whether you can live without the play store and services, but they allow you to run them sandboxed if you want. The default messaging app is dog shit but who tell people who want to use SMS to fuck off 😂

I'm in the process of trying to solve this too, apparently you can only do this with a google Pixel phone

1) hopefully you got a pixel 2) biggest thing you're losing from stock android is NFC payments 3) if an app isn't working, turn this setting on https://blossom.primal.net/e42ee19bf4a175da1a8a2b8fbca6a7ed856db395eecc82e4b1404d09469bb689.jpg 4) the default keyboard sucks. Get Gboard (turn off netwo...
