Sorry to post my shitty neofetch to this community
in your android phone
And if you try to revoke their spying access on a rooted stock device, they force a reboot โน๏ธ
Hence GrapheneOS sandboxing the Play Store. It is ironic that Google is the only phone manufacturer that allows for installing a different OS. But I suppose the fact that GrapheneOS has pushed security updates that have made it into stock Android and the fact that most users wonโt bother installing an alternative OS on their pixel phones is why they allow such shenanigans.
I use rooted LineageOS on my 4a 5G, though I do still have GApps on it. Next phone I buy Iโm thinking Iโll give GrapheneOS a try. Leaving behind my rooted system level adblocking would be difficult for me though.
In regards to ad blocking. My solution isnโt as all encompassing as that, but for general web browsing, I use the Mull browser as you can install some addons like ublock and noscript. Iโll admit though if youโre looking to install advertisement heavy Play Store Apps though, Iโd say maybe look into using a PiHole to adblock your home network?
I stand correctted then. Please tell me a few of these other manufacturers!
I donโt use Google Fi, but a quick search shows that many have gotten it to work with Graphene OS just fine. You can still install Fi from the Play Store, and it appears all works as intended as long as you grant it Network Permissions.
Iโd do research on it though if youโre truly interested. They have a link to their Matrix chat on their website where you can field general questions.
