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.

Nothing against the OS, but if your gripes are about the search bar or weather widget, couldn’t you use a different launcher?

Oh, they are just a bonus, I’ve not used stock google in years and its just something I didn’t like since using the phone.

Plus when it cones to alternative OS, there is only Graphene and Calyx as you can still have a locked bootloader after install.
