Synchronicity. I was just deciding on getting a Pixel 9 Fold for my birthday and switch to Graphene. Would love to hear what are the trade offs. Also do you happen to have a solid guide for making the switch. I've been using Android for +8 years.

If you plan on not installing google play services you will no longer get push notifications and a large number of apps won't work. But if you focus on finding open source alternatives its great.

It's hard to summarize. There will be many small adjustments, and maybe a few big ones, depending on how hardcore you want to be. I reject the "open source or nothing" approach. Nice ideal. Great way to fail out of the gate.

I'm using Google Play + Play Services for maps, Android Auto, banking apps, etc. I'm also slowly moving to PWAs where practical and testing FOSS alternatives.

The toughest bit so far is family sharing: photos, lists, reminders. Work in progress.

Step by step.
