What are you using for calendar management and navigation
It's been over a week and I'm still rocking my Pixel 7a with #GrapheneOS. I was about to put the sim back into my iPhone Monday, but I found the strength to stick it out after reciting a few affirmations from one of Nostr's expert Graphene securitooors, nostr:npub1x458tl7h9xcxa66vr4a8pg0h2qz96pnhwnfpcra0le9090uk5t5qw7armt 😂
Honestly loving it. Don't think I'll go back.

Still using gcal for now. Couldn't go completely cold turkey. But thinking of either proton or self hosting for calendar. These are the biggest pain points right now bc all of the family stuff is on a different calendar for each kid and my wife as well as work schedule.
For maps I actually have my old iPhone plugged into the car for apple carplay and just use the hotspot on my graphene. Any suggestions?
You can use Etar for Calendar and sync all your family stuff (calendar, contacts, files, notes, tasks, etc.) over Nextcloud. You use the DAVx5 app to connect your Nextcloud contacts and calendars to Android.
You can create an account at Murena.io to play with all of this. Murena uses Nextcloud.
For a "DeGoogled" navigation option, you use "GMaps WV" to look up addresses, and share those to OsmAnd~. You can also use Organic Maps if you prefer They both work good
Yeah could just use Google Maps on the GrapheneOS device works with or without Play Services and only uses GPS/GNSS no network location from Google unless you want it.
OSMAnd+, Organic Maps are just two other options.
As far as Calendar goes, Fossify fork of SimpleMobileTools Calendar for on device might work if they keep it updated. However if you're a Proton user that avenue is good, I use Tuta's. Both support importing .ics.
How do you disable "netwerk location" ?
You don't need to disable it, by default the OS uses only GPS/GNSS.
Network location is opt-in by installing Play Services, enabling wifi and bluetooth scanning under Location Services, followed by disabling the routing to GPS/GNSS via tapping the persistent GMSCompat notitication that tells you Play Services is running.
Oh wow, ok awesome! Didn't get that and switching "Network" & "Location" made me nervous😉.
Thanks
1. Use Google Maps w/ sandboxed Google Play enabled via #GrapheneOS's app store (called Apps).
2. I really like skiff.com for an E2EE office suite with mail, calendar, drive, and pages (wikis). Apps work great on #GrapheneOS and don't require Google Play.
