Im trying to set up my first mobile monero wallet. The monero website lists two lightweight wallets, mymonero and cake.
Getting mymonero working from source on graphene initially eluded me so i went to try cake.
Then i saw these god awful T&Cs at cake https://changenow.io/terms-of-use
Mind if i ask what are a few well regarded lightweight wallets are? Is mymonero worth the effort to set up or are there reasonable alternatives for a small grapheneos test wallet?
I would avoid MyMonero. Since their servers keep you synced, they can see things wallets shouldn't be able to, so it defeats the whole point of Monero.
Cake Wallet is a solid choice and favorite of many. Open source and non custodial. It also offers a feature, that other wallets currently do not, that removes a big annoyance of Monero - autosyncs when charging
Stack Wallet and Monerujo are other good choices
If you are hardcore, check out Anonero. Security and privacy dials to the max. Can only get it on the spooky web:

Thanks Nameless. Ill give those an eye. Im not too hardcore. Mostly looking to test and get familiar.
No prob man, let me know if you have any other questions and hopefully I can help
Best site of the bunch for a pleb to get comfortable https://www.monerujo.io/
Yea, some people don't like that. And admittedly it annoys me too.
But those T&Cs are for the exchange feature since they send you to third party providers (that you can choose) if you use them.
You can just not ever use the built in exchange feature.
You can also turn off the exchange/buy/sell features in the settings so it's just purely a wallet (which I do)
Try Monerujo, stack wallet, or mysu (previously mynero) if you want to dive into using i2p for it, once installed its simple and works. There's also Anonero but that's kind of a DIY hardware wallet sort of solution and it's designed to use 2 devices, definitely not simple. I usually just go with monerujo personally.
Thanks mister. We went with monerujo. Clean little wallet.
